Notes:
Mythology is a tough puzzle to piece together, because these stories are thousands of years old. This is true for any mythology, including the Norse one. With every tale, there are many different versions that were told in various regions over time. For the sake of this video - and all my videos - I try to streamline these as much as possible and leave out some details that make the videos…more fun. Many historians make this stuff so boring because they get caught up in details that are much less relevant than the bigger picture. I'm not gonna do that.
So... is this accurate and well researched? Absolutely, 100%. Is this the only interpretation or way of recounting these tales? No, but subjectively speaking… it’s the way I liked it the most.
Get All My Artwork & Support The Channel:
I get a lot of questions about my artwork and where it’s from or rather who draws it. Well the answer is that I create it - I don’t draw it. I use AI to create the artwork, using specific prompts, specific style influences from 18th and 19th century artists, and I spend about 6 hours per video just on the artwork. Each video has roughly double the artwork of what you actually see in the video, so a lot of it is unused. The good news here though is that you can get all that artwork on my Patreon - the artwork I do use, and the artwork I don’t use. Plus, by subscribing to my Patreon you are making a major contribution to Briefed and helping me to keep this channel going, because this is my full time job and the survival of the channel and quality of the videos greatly depends on said support. In return for supporting, you get more than the artwork though - you also get exclusive videos and producer credit, as well as access to a producer group that gets to vote on thumbnails, gets behind the scenes etc.

You either know him as the greatest swordsman ever, the inspiration for half your favorite anime, or the philosopher you’re trying to shape your life after.

Alright it was about time I visit East Asia, or Japan to be exact. Japan has a lot of amazing tales to offer - both in its mythology and in its history.

The Trojan War. It's all been building up to this one, and... I hope I do this ancient epic justice. The Epic of Troy - or rather the Iliad - is the godfather of all epics, and it all centers around Achilles.

Briefed feeding the people. Taking my time on this cause I’m not sure how long before we get another one.

Fun fact: For any One Piece fans, Kozuki Oden's character is based partly on Oda Nobunaga.
Nobunaga lived life by his own rules - because a Shogun makes his own rules, not live by those made by someone else.
Musashi realized that in a duel to the death worrying about honour is foolish and that you must win at any cost
ahhh got it the same insanity today created an empire that killed millions in human sacrifice that feels like a tell.
7 long hours!? I have no business listening to this over the course of the next few days. I do not think my fiancé would appreciate another man in my AirPods for this long 😩😂 🤫 7 long hours?! Your gf is the strongest among strong. 💯 All jokes aside, thank you for listening to your subscribers who have been telling you we love the long videos. Keep up the good work!
I can't even explain how happy I am 🥲....
The BIGGEST problem with Greek Myth is that a TON of the stories were swapped and adapted and combined with all the other this and that from everyone else at the time. Like Athena and Aphrodite were from across the ocean and not originally Greek at all. Persephone was already associated as part of a Terrible Trilogy Mother/Maiden/Crone known as Dread Persephone *LONG* before Hades married her. Like it's cool they have a great functional relationship but all the background shenanigans lead into this. Hades is actually believed to be one of the "newest" of the Greek Pantheon, further explains how he is so different from all the other Gods and Goddesses. Anyway, awesome videos, and the Greeks are absolutely nutbars with mythology.
I NEEDED THIS THANK U
7 hours? Gawd dayum!!?
You should give some history on tha Mayan gods or Buddha
guess i know what im doing for the next 7 hours :DDD
Well wasn't the minotaur in the maze to keep it imprisoned there? And didn't Hades trick Theseus and his bud to sit on chairs that make them forgetful of who they are and what they are doing? I don't remember reading about them sitting on a rock
yup he was imprisoned there because they didn't want to kill their son, but also didn't want him feasting on the people of minos
@@Briefed_Mythology cool thanks for the reply! I'm trying to learn more about Greek Myth but there's so much to it
Wow emotional stuff. Big respect that's alot of crazy to get through, 💯 lightening.
thank you for watching 🥹
If you think I won't sit here for 7+ hours, you're dead wrong
loooove it haha
Please see this, was Ymir working with Loki to release Jormungandr, and knowing tricking Thor was the only way?
I never heard that Ymir was working with loki - definitely possible in another version though. to my knowledge Ymir was long dead, ever since odin killed Ymir to create earth out of his body
Some people says jesus and his father Yahweh is basically copied version of Dionysus and his father Zeus.
hmmmm very very interesting. I absolutely can see that.
7 hourssssssssss of mythology OHHHHH EMMMMM GEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! thannkkkk youuuuu

Guess I’ll be watching this during my entire shift! Much appreciated!!! 🎉
When we getting more?
hahah next Sunday 🫡
7 hours Lord have Merci 😂😂

As someone whos watching critical bible scholarship, i honestly thought this was about the septuagint or the greek new testament 🤣😅
I wish you would have a podcast so I can listen at work
I'm trying to expand to that soon 🫡
Oh dear deer... This whole video is the best background sound for a monday at work 😂
happy to make a lame Monday better haha
Alexander wasnt marching his army back, alot of them were staying back to conquer Arabia.
Wasnt the marriage of asian women to his generals and the unrest after the conquest if Persia? In fact the marriage of asian women came later after his return from India

All this is fiction ,the real history is completely different.

Do the pantheon of the middle east gods that eventually led to the caananite god Yahweh becoming the Christian god in trinity! It's a truly interesting story of how a minor storm god, Yahweh, becomes the God that almost every person first associates with when you just say the word... God.
Didn't love and lust exist before Aphrodita was born? So... I don't think the Greeks thought her through.
