I really like your design for Iris! The always shifting color patterns on her toga is a pretty original idea.
ok
Man, make videos about Lucian Dialogues of the Dead
I just realized I never made a joke about Artemis being "arrow-ace" and I feel the need to apologize.
Apologie accpected.
Tragedy
If I ever become a skilled archer, I will be an aroace arrow-ace.
you forgot about “arrow-mantic” too.
There will be other opportunities :')
I counted, he has 92 total kids. Could Zeus just keep his toga on FOR FIVE SECONDS?
Hes going have to pay child support at this point
Did the ancient Greeks wear togas? Wasn't that a Roman thing?
Speedrun on continuing the bloodline any%
Every time you say that he makes 10 more
That's just the ones we know of
Zeus " I love all my children equally."
Earlier that day:
Zeus "I don't care for Aries."
ares: "Who do love more, me or heracles?"
Zeus: "I love you both equally."
*ares leaves*
*to heracles* "Its you, and by a lot."
Heracles leaves
to Athena “it’s you and by a lot..”
Zip ur lips Anti-Abrahamics. Or the Old Scratch will poison ur lineage.
@@bcs-xp4eeAthena is the favorite😀
Oh Lucille. She would rock on the Olympus
I wonder if Zeus had 'even' more kids, but they were lost to time over the centuries and nobody bothered to try and bring back their existences to the myths
definitely happened
Well, you're actually correct.
That would be very likely
STOP
Or Hera killed them off successfully, or maybe they never become popular enough to have a fairy tale about them. Like after a while being Zeus's kid became casual with how Zeus is.
-" Oh, Mr. ......Analdreus, why should I hire you?"
-"I'm the sound of ZEUS! (Dramatic music)"
"And?"
"I'm a demigod, and I can make lightning from my fingers"
"Oh! Show me"
" .........( 10 mins of giving the expression, and the sound of a really constipated man later) aha!"
(Produce the smallest and cutest lightning spark possible)
"Next!"
I like how the title its just "SOME" of his kids
If the video was about all his kids i think it whoud 8+ hours long
@@vukmijatovic true
Let's face it, we'll never know all of them.
Zues wont stop getting kids.
@@vukmijatovic centuries*
I honestly really like the interpretation of Artemis and Orion just being really close platonic friends as you historically, and even today, don’t see too many close male female relationships that aren’t romantic nor sexual in fiction.
At the end of the day it's still betraying a friend
Yes
still a sad betrayal.
Meanwhile Fate’s portrayal of Artemis is…. very weird.
She’s too Orion crazy lmao
@@8bitutopia182 It's a bit strange but sometimes you can see glimpses of how they have actual chemistry. The Akihabara epilogue where she and Orion discuss Galatea is a good example.
How about you do a video on how Zeus took away the animals' ability to talk?
Wait what?
@@samorrothechessguy same reaction
Is this a actual story because i never heard of it
@@Eric6761 I don't think anyone has
What did the animals do to him
"He crashed into her bedroom with a chariot, surrounded by lightning and also chucked a literal spear made of lightning at her. She died of fright." No, bestie. I think she got vaporized. You know, from having lightning thrown at her by a deity.
Edit: this is in reference to the quote by Pseudo-Apollodorus, himself. I'm aware Jake added in that she was vaporized.
Edit 2: Also, we know how Zeus "courted" Hera. And it wasn't like that. He had to trick her into marrying him, after he forced himself on her. He turned into a cuckoo and pretended to need help. She took him in her arms, he turned back and...yeah. She married him to avoid the shame of having lost her virginity out of marriage. It was a big deal, in Classical Greece and she was the goddess of marriage, after all.
I'm more concerned by the fact that this is how Zeus informs Hera that he wants to get it on
@@alexandergangaware429 zeus has the weirdest way of flirting.
@@projekttaku1Hera: [chilling in bed, bothering nobody]
Zeus: [Crashes car through bedroom door, tases Hera as she tries to get out of bed]
"Cuz I'm a smooth operator"
Could you give a source for it?
I remember the myth, but I don't remember the part of Zeus actually forcing himself on her.
It wouldn't surprise me if it did happen though, but with the greeks having different conception of consent than us and leaving us with sometime lacking details, it can be hard to tell what's factually a r*pe committed by Zeus (Tricking Alcmene into thinking he was her husband) and what's just us interpreting it as such (Turning into a rain of gold to get into Danaë's cell and then... Maybe seducing her? Maybe Forcing himself on her?)
@Derkosson I doubt Zeus actually forced himself on Hera, and Hera felt shame for that because, contrary to what most people think, Zeus and Hera do care for each other.
The pugs tearing apart Actaeon as a Stag is the perfect touch!! 😂
I've always been partial to the theory that every greek city state would want their founder/hero king to have divine right to rule, and having their backstory involve Zeus being their father works better for that. After all, being the son of Hephaistos is cool, but doesn't make you uniquely qualified to be king (though you will probably have less hubris, tragedy, and murder in your life compared to the average Zeus offspring).
Those are somewhat true, since you can see that liniages of kingdoms where traced by divine rule, case and point Hercules with Thebes and the children of Harmonia as the Rulers of Sparta. However most of the other gods were more of an origin for the cult of their own worship than they were to justify the lineage of someone. That's why myths like the story of Apollo on Delphi and the myth of Demeter founding her cult are more widespread than say the lineage of the kings of micenea, Ithaca or other city states
yeah, its a very popular thing to have a ruler of a city or place be descend from a god, such as the emperor of japan.
Since we’re on the subject of Zeus’ kids, the Theogony states that the nine Muses were children to Zeus and Mnemosyne, a video on them or including them in a part two would be pretty neat.
zues really loved his family he even married his sister
He loved his family Alabama style 💀💀💀
And had Persephone with his other sister, Dionysus with his granddaughter, and Hercules with one of his other granddaughters
zeus keeping it in the family I see.
@@Amy_the_Lizard had Dionysus with his daughter Persephone in Orphic myths too.
@@azidahaka8543 i see you have fallen for Zagreus' prank
A thing I would be especially interested in in a follow-up about this is the fact that the judges of the dead in the Underworld are all also sons of Zeus. Even in his own domain, Hades has to deal with his brother's shenanigans.
Yay Hebe is mentioned! She’s so underrated and barely mentioned in any legends! Glad she’s mentioned here (as a footnote for Heracles, but still)
Angelos, Arges, Eleutheria, and Enyo are Hera's lesser known daughters. Sometimes Eris is said to be Zeus and Hera's daughter but more likely Nyx's daughters. But yeah overall Hera's kids are lesser known than the bastards especially since they are girls and wouldn't be able to inherit and both sons she produce are kind of inadequate in Zeus' eyes.
Zeus: i would never violate marriage.
Also Zeus: has multiple affairs.
Yeah when they say side chicks they really mean it
I love that you put the aro, lesbian and ace flag when talking about Artemis and her "gal-pals"!
I'm sure they were all gays in ancient greece
@@leventekingvevo72 yeah probably😁
Ares' head constantly vibrating with that face is *gold.* 😂
I'm curious about his mortal daughters, apart from Helen. I guess it will be a long video or part 1
Uh,you DO KNOW that Helen is Zeus' ONLY mortal daughter as well as his youngest daughter?
@@audreysinggih697 I know that he had several goddess daughters, but I know that Helen is not the only mortal, there is also Ceróesa, the sister of Epafo, for example
Fun fact: Zeus has 99 children. Hera is the mother of 4 of them. 52 are gods while 47 are demi-gods.
Dang hera only had 4 of them!
Zeus y Hera concibieron seis hijos
Oh no. I just read a comment complaining about how many kids Zeus has, with a reply prophesying that he would make 10 more for every time it was said.
5:58
Just a note: the quote says that Apollo flipped the lyre upside down and played it, not the flute. And it was in fact because Marsyas couldn't play the flute in reverse that he lost.
Amazing, I also love the ways that you protray gods like especially Iris.
Zeus and Hera did have other lesser known kids like Angelos (Ancient Greek: Ἄγγελος) or Angelia (Ἀγγελία) who was a daughter, who became known as a chthonic deity. Her name means messenger.
If you want a video idea, could you do a video on Apollo's earlier life? I think he's a really interesting god, and a video about just him would be awesome.
Aaaaayyy, Eileithya and Hebe are in the Thumbnail!
good eye 👀
@@JakeDoubleyoo Nice eyes!
7:04
'to be a patron and protector of young women until their marriage-'
*aggressively pointing drawn bow at child*
and then at the womb of a defenseless pregnant woman
THE ZOOM IN ON DIONYSUS AS A FETUS HAS ME DEAD 😭😭😭
Zeus: God of "If it breathes, it takes my seed"
I already knew nearly all of the myths you talked about but your animation and humor makes it worth wathcing! Great work dude!
I always crack up everytime this series depiction of Artemis is shown having to converse with anyone because it just looks like shes barely restraining her urge to arrow them in the face....even when its a woman in labor XD
I love Artemis's constantly tensed fingers on the bowstring.
The best quote about Greek Mythology I ever heard (from UsefulCharts’ Trojan War video): “All roads lead to Zeus.”
You were the first youtuber that does greek mythology (and others) you inspired me to actually get books and read infomation about greek mythology! Thank you so much for teaching me intresting things to me!
6:10 For the record, in the original myths it's said that the reason Daphne hated Apollo was because Eros had struck her with a lead arrow of hate at the same time he'd struck Apollo with a golden arrow of love. So neither of them was really thinking during that whole adventure.
I'm so tempted to make a Google Doc of all his kids. It would be time consuming, but probably fun.
Fun fact: Holzkern is german and as german rends to do, the word is selve describtive. Holzkern can be split into 2 words: Holz and Kern. Holz means wood and kern means core. Therby the most literal translation of Holzkern is wood core. This name choice probaly stams from the fact that these watches are made out of wood
Love the new character design!! :)
i relate to jake's problems with small hands on a spiritual level ... i have the hands of a 10 year old boy and nothing looks good on them :(
Ten year old co-
I love the fact that he had to put "some" in the title.
jake is back at it again!
good news: Apollo's boyfriend Hyacinthus did get resurrected by him and attended godhood. there is literally a festival (Hyacinthia) dedicated to Hyacinthus's death and rebirth
Loved the vid!
Loving some of these newer doodles
I JUST FOUND YA CHANNEL I LOVE IT SO MUCH
I really like the suggestions about artemises sexuality!
I think they are fun and funny!
I wonder if Greeks also share the humour aswell
In regards to Artemis being in love with Orion its better to loved and lost than to have never loved at all
Amatonormativity?
Can you make a video about Eros and Psyche? Or something about the primordials
I love your videos because at the start before I was watching your videos. I did not really know a lot about Greek mythology and then I Found your videos and watch them And I love Them now
How did i just discover this Channel today? I love the greek Mythology series
So many texts that I have to learn for my exam were showed in this video, very cool!
I'd love to see more videos going over the children of well known gods like Zues and other olympians.
Can we just aprciate how well jakes editing skills are now?
Looking forward to part 2
by the way in some versions of Herakles's birth Hera uses force to delay his birth and the next descendent of Perseus becoming king was was also her idea
Good video and is no one talking about the dragon ball reference he made at the beginning.keep up the work Jake ❤
fusion is such a perfect way to describe syncretism.
Part 2 this was fun!
amazing video haven't watched it but still
ZEUS YOUR SON HAS RETURNED
Zeus: Do you know how little tha-
I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF OLYMPUS
Zeus: Oh it’s Kratos
One of my favorite multinstoried gods are the three faced goddess and her mate or partner, the horned god. Theres evidence of them dating all the way back to ancient sumeria and similar mythologies show similar figures appearing in Greek, Druidic, and Nordic myth! A good example is the goddess Hecate and a mirror of her in Irish myth, the Morrigan!
Tbh il ove the new animation style at your self nice 👍
Anyone else get a kick outta hearing Hyacinth's demise described as a "Frisbee accident"??😂😂
6:34 theory: the reason why Apollo replace Helios because of Zeus's arrogance and hatred of Titans. Helios sided with Zeus during the Titan war só unlike Pontus and Tarturus got replace by Poisendon and Hades respectually as Gods of Sea and Underword Helios was aloud to keep his Job but after Apollo Join the 12 Olimpus he got the fame as god of the Sun because he is the king of gods spoiled ritch kid. The reason is because those Hélios is like Gaia and Uranus he is the Sun plus Hélios beign the god of the Sun is Very important for two stories that beign the kidnaping of Persefone and the afair of Ares and Afrodite (all versions i read makes preaty clear it's Hélios) both of whitch happen with all 12 olimpian Gods (including Apollo) are in they place
P.s Sorry for poor english
broski I started reading the kane chronicals, and i would really appreciate if you made some more egyptian mythology.
I hope it is not an April Fool's joke since it'll come out in April 1st
Thank you for clarifying the difference between apollo and Helios that always confused me
Waiting for part 2
4:59 Wow. Her water broke. Gosh you're a genius, Jake. 😅
FINALLY SOMEONE GOT IT
New designes for semele and leto! Akso could you talk about the myth of phyce and eros?
i love how you now animate your Charakter
Hey it would be pretty cool if you did a video about Odysseus and his journey
Aphrodite feels like a glaring omission.
Wrist watches making a comback as a convenience
0:52 Interesting information: many themes and soundtracks from God of War greek saga took inspiration from this hymn (I'm talking about the lyrics)
The first part very similar to the beginning of God Of War II main theme
There are many references in "Glory of Sparta" soundtrack too and all of its variations
Lol hera and Zeus and baby aries is what I needed this afternoon
I know this doesn't matter at all
But i really like how every character jake draws slightly moves whenever on screen and it makes them look less static and more alive
Its a small thing but i like it
Thank youuuu soo much
I’d love for you to do the Bacchae
Cool animation
"His talents included music, archery, medicine, oracular prophecy and being a huge sl*t!😄"
Favorite line.
Hey Jake I love your work. In my opinion, the simpler brown eyes are nicer for your avatar.
Omg I love this video
He had a lot of kids in his time.
i don't think he ever died.
@@Iamsparklyvampireman rumours say he is still up there doing the 999999999 offspring any% speedrun
... Would their be a video about Typhon and Echidna's children?
In case people were wondering, when jake says marsyas got off easy at 6:06, he's being sarcastic, as the winner could do whatever he wanted to the loser, and apollo won, and flayed marsyas alive.
The More You Know.
Really digging Iris's tunic 🌈
Basically saying the number of sons and daughters Zeus has are erm how many movies in cinema history are there including knock-offs
Jake can you please make video about Circe?
Can you make a part 2
We gonna talk about how Apollo Ruined his twin's love life?
Dionysus: "Thigh" was often a euphemism for genitals.
5:29 yeah he's Zeus's kid
You should cover Orpheus
Anyone counting how many of these kids are actually Heras?
2
3
2 i think
Hera has 5 children. Zeus is the father of 3 or 4 of them.
Hera bore three children with Zeus, namely Ares, Eileithyia and Hebe, who acted as cupbearer to the gods, a role that she either shares with or was superseded by Ganymedes, the Trojan royal whom her father abducted to serve as his boy toy.
Writers differ on whether Enyo and Hephaistos were born to Hera and Zeus.
Pseudo-Apollodorus on his way to unify and canonize every AU of every concivable media:
Will you make a video about Eros and Psyche' myth?
Can you do a video of the mith Eros and Psiche
I love your design of Iris.
The hilarious thing is that these are only the kids of Zeus that SURVIVED Hera's wrath. Imagine how many more kids Zeus had, only for Hera to successfully smite them to death.
Love the new talking dude
