Apollo: Dad?
Zeus: Yes?
Apollo: I suddenly regret wanting to be an older sibling.
Artemis probably rolled her eyes.
Nah she either pulled out the mid finger or kept on fighting
I’m sorry but as a older sister I regret it
@@Cypresssina I feel so bad for Artemis because all she wanted to be was an only child and she couldn’t even have that because even before she was born she had thousands of siblings running around Greece
“Is that a baby stealing like 40 cows?”
“Leave it alone, Hera.”
BTW... I 100% would listen to any baby that told me to do shit. That’s just not right so just walk away and say nothing.
@@carlyk8560 specially if its leading 40 cows 👀👀👀👀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmaooooo 😭😭
"It's a baby stealing 40 cows"
"I know,Hera"
Jon Solo: *does a sponsorship knowing well are attention span is short*
Also Jon Solo: *pulls out puppy to bring us back in*
Vamp Rose Clever. 😉
*our
That’s talent 👏👏👏👏
It works
The puppy is very cute. Worked for me.
"Hermes god of errythang" 😂
Kind of reminds me of Lugh of the Many Talents.
🤣😂😭
No segregation with Hermes
You can basically say that
@@darkpone3731 pppqpppqpqpqpp
So nobody talking about how cute that puppy is...
Ok just me
I will. He's adorable!
Gunther is a cutie what kind of dog is he?
Yep
First thing I noticed.
@@ThePinkDragon it's a pug
LIKING FOR GUNTHER ❤️❤️❤️
PinkClouds94 same!!!!
Penguin?
SHOW MORE PUPPIES!
Same 😂😂😂
I literally said at the beginning i'm liking this just for Gunther
Zeus: Alright kid, I need you to get me this cow from Argos
Hermes: Naaahh man, I left that cow thieving life ages ago 😎.
My history teacher said we had to do a Greek mythology project on which god/ess of our choice, and I chose Aphrodite. I used your video as reference and cited it in my PowerPoint. You deserve more attention tbh. 🖤 Love your content and your personality. 🖤Edit: woah ! I've never had this many likes on a comment before! Thank you guys 😭🖤
I wish I could do that, but since most people here don't speak english and adding subs to the video would be too much work, I'd only be able to mention it. Sad facts in life XD
nice!!
Ah I remember that project ❤️ I forgot what goddess I had she wasn’t as popular & i had to do a family tree
@@truvy_5544 samee
Why didn’t you put this on the Aphrodite episode then?
Jon, have you ever thought of doing some videos on Ancient Egyptian mythology? I've heard some pretty hilarious and messed up stories (e.g. the Ancient Egyptians believed the world was created when some dude ejaculated.)
Oh, id love this!
YES!!
Not really messed up. Sex in mythology means creation and they knew exactly how that happened.
Also myths are allegories to explain stuff to the common people with stories.
Luke .V. Lol wait till you hear about Set violating his nephew, Horus. And then Horus tricking Set to eat his own seed, humiliating him before the royal court.
@@dafttool Yes! I heard that one too and I couldn't stop laughing!
To Be fair, Disney's Hermes is just Paul Schaffer with winged sandals...
Sheriff Pablo if I go to Olympus, do you think I’ll see Paul Schaffer?
@@mag1cg1rl_ Do you honestly think that Olympus is a real place that you can go to?
@@TheRedHood1981 hun, it was a joke😊 also I’m going to heaven, not Olympus😉
Good enough for me !
Disney definitely did him dirty. I think he's a pretty rad god now.
Jon Solo: Talking about fascinating Greek mythology
Me: "Awwww what an adorable puppy!"
Literally left Netflix for this. Yeah, I'm that big of a fan 😂💖
Lol same 😂😂😂
Lol ditto
*Grace Wilbourn me all day 😂☠️*
Ditto❣️
What were you watching
2:03 when you're a cat person at heart, but Gunther is just that cute, so you smashed the hell out of the like button
Hermes is like that aunt we all have, that's always up in everyones business
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
.
tbf, this makes sense
Spoiler alert: Hermes was the OG Boss Baby.
Apollo; "Where my cattle?"
Hermes; "Uh, goo-goo ga-ga?"
Hermes was also one of the coolest Gods
@@darkpone3731 Apollo 0.000000000001 seconds later : THIS BABY JUST STOLE MY CATTLE !!!
Hermes also pleaded with Hades to Give Persephone back on Zeus' and Demeter's demands.
Jon could you cover the Legend of Narcissis and Echo?
Jon solo: *lists things that fast people do*
Also jon solo: *mentions sex*
Me: hol’ up
My favorite portrayal of Hermes has to be the one in the Percy Jackson series. Nathan Fillion is the best. My favorite child of Hermes is Autolycus, the prince of thieves. Bruce Campbell did a great job playing him in the Xena series. You can tell by his fast talking and quick hands who his father is. Great video. I am really enjoying this series. :-)
Nathan Fillion is the only reason I remember that film and of course Hermes being my favourite greek god
Hey, the movie may have been crap, but dang did he sell it as Hermes
You're totally exploiting that puppies cuteness for views and I am HERE 👏🏼 FOR 👏🏼IT👏🏼because Gunther is so freaking cute
5:40
That drawing is from Percy Jackson's Greek Gods!
Hermes is my favorite god! So none of this was new to me, but I still love hearing about him anyway. And hearing it from you is just a bonus!
I have found my fellow Hermes enjoyers
When you’re trying to watch mythology and you can’t stop staring at a puppy
I'd like more videos about Hermes (He's one of my favorite deities to study). It'd be appropriate seeing as he is linked with swift communication (i.e. youtube). Perhaps talking about him more will invoke his powers (and more mythology nerd subscribers!).
I remember in Rick Riordan’s story about Hermes stealing the cattle, when he played dumb, Apollo said “you have barbecue sauce on the corner of your mouth!”
Gunther, your future co-host (hopefully) is adorable! Thanks for your great content!
Hermes is way more interesting than I thought. I never really liked his portrayal in Disney, so this is awesome.
As Overly Sarcastic Productions pointed out about Hermes, he remains the most represented Greek god in modern times, appearing in brand logos for things all the way from Goodyear, to courier companies, to medicine, to numerous mercantile and communication businesses. Those brand logos vary from Hermes' profile, to winged sandals, to the caduceus.
The word "Hermaphrodite" comes from a child that Hermes & Aphrodite had together that was born with both male/female genitalia. Hermes + Aphrodite (name) = Hermaphrodite.
P.S. Look up "Priapus,"God with the perpetual hard on.
Priapus was already in the Aphrodite video
@@grace5033 - My blunder, I didn't catch the Aphrodite video. My apologies.
Actually no. Hermaphroditus was born normal. But he fell in love with a nymph and wished to the gods that they would be together forever and would be one, and won't be separated. The gods took the wish too literally.
That wee lol dogge is so cute. I'm so jealous.
Me:*turning up my phone brightness to bask in the glory of Gunther* I love him
Media never gives Hermes enough credit. They just portray it as a messenger. The disney portrayal maybe the worst, but usually media never gives Hermes the credit he deserves.
Omg 😮 your puppy is slumped in your lap that’s so adorable
This explains so much about the comic I’m reading on Webtoons called “Lore Olympus”. Didn’t know that much about Hermès, love this video
"[...] while the tall people were stupid [...]"
Oh come on. I know I'm not a genius but I wouldn't go that far.
Wow, i just came here from the future, and seeing a young gunther is just making me squeal with joy
I clicked soo fast it’s not even funny 😂😂
Me too lol
Faster than Hermes can run
Thank god for this quality content in this day and age
I can’t help but feel that Hermes would whole heartedly support Skillshare.
I’m 5’2” and therefore, a genius. Thanks, Hermes!
Hey you forgot to mention how he was in justice league! He was seen giving a message to Wonder Woman like how a “messenger god” does
Blessed! Good content to watch especially when feeling like crap today!
Hermès is so underrated... and that puppy is cute even though I prefer cats!!!
Matthew Conner Hermès is great!
Hey Jon, my toilet is clogged and I don't wanna call the cops yet, please help.
OMG I love your mythology explained videos. Thank you so much for all the videos you do, I really look forward to them every week :) Keep up the good work.
Yessss. I'm loving these Mythology videos.
Yay! A Solo Mythological Origins vid to watch while cuddling up under some thick blankets on this COLD, Friday evening. 👏🏻👏🏻
I was pretty familiar with quite a bit of Hermes's mythology before the Disney film Hercules hit theatres. That said, the series Class of The Titans, which I highly recommend checking out, takes the Greek pantheon and drops into the modern setting, with the protagonists of the series being distant descendants of classical Greek heroes (one case the opening piece and the first episode actually goof, the Character Atlanta is actually supposed to descend from Atalanta and not Artemis), and Hermes makes an appearance in a high proportion of episodes, including the first one. Since Class of the Titans takes place in the modern era, almost all the Olympians have undergone some changes and adapted to the modern era in some capacity, but are still mostly ignorant of how the mortal world operates, this demonstrated beautifully and hilariously in the series finale, with the one major exception being Hermes actually being so in tune with the outside world that he actually keeps spare change on him to make use of a payphone. The series does a good job of representing Greek mythology, for the most part, there are some parts that seem to have been adjusted or run on a different sort of translation than most people are familiar with. And to be honest, I think it would be interesting to do a side by side with Class of the Titans and Disney's Hercules.
Dude I love how descriptive you are and how you explain the stories so thorough I love your videos keep em coming!
When I heard that this little pupper was named Gunter, the first thing I thought of was adventure time. XD
i still can't get over that Jon is capable of making jokes while keeping a straight face and serious tone of voice!
it makes it extra funny knowing how serious he sounds when making those jokes! 😂😂😂
love ya, jon solo! your content not only makes my day better, but also makes me smarter by 0.01% each time (my brain cells can't take in a lot of intelligence at once) XD
I wished I had this channel when I had to take a mythology class in college, I would have understood they stories better. It’s a lot of information.
I enjoy listening to you talk💆🏿♀️
“Way down...(Hades Town)....way down under the ground...”
Hermes is the best God ever!
He was a friend of humans and Gods alike
I love that you do excellent research!!
LOVE GUNTHER! My uncle bred pugs so they hold a special place in my heart, for he passed away almost 20 years ago. Also, i knew Hermes was the messenger god, but i knew very little else about him. Loved this episode!
I've only know Gunther for 12 minutes but I would die for him
8:27 Sounds like the origin of the Sodom & Gomorrah myth.
It certainly does.
Exactly what I was thinking. I find it fascinating that many ancient stories, myths and legends can have so many overlaps with others from different cultures and time periods
Not surprising. A lot of the bible myths were copied and adapted by older myths. See for ecample Noah anf Giglamesh (sp?)
Thank you for your educational and entertaining videos. Love your puppy
I'm familiar with most of Mythology Explained's many subjects, but I like hearing you talk about them, refreshes my memory
Me- I’m so bored of all the stupid sponsorship
John-puppy dog
Me-ahhhh it’s to cute I’m listening
*Literally at dinner watching this 😂☠️*
Beautiful picture.
I’m a new fan and I just wanted to say I’ve watched you none stop for 2 weeks
This was awesome! Can you do the messed up origins of Pandora? Please!
Hey Jon solo, love your mythology explained series: I was wondering whose your favorite amongst the Olympians ( mine's Dionysus).
Mine is Hephaestus
@@xavierfletcher7484 cool choice, I like how dionysus is supposed to be this drunken god of madness and revelry, spreading his cult of fun times alongside his satyrs and maenads.
Medusa and Thalia
@@pixiestxNyomouf yeah, that's also part of his canon/ so whose your favorite olympian.
Apollo
Gunther is SOOOOOO precious!!!!!! 😂❤️❤️
Hi Gunther! Welcome to the Solo family, boo! ❤
For the most part I knew these Myths, but still really enjoy hearing the way you present them.
*waves at Gunther*
Love Hermes story. :) Sneaky baby!
Hermes is pretty much a jack-of-all-traits in a way with all the things he can do.
This was all new. I really enjoyed it. Can’t wait for more videos and your puppy is adorable.
Thank you for making this video 😁
I always thought of him as an executive assistant. Like Anne Hathaway in Devil Wears Prada
"Your first impression of Hermes came crying Disney's Hercules"
Nope. Kevin Sorbo Hercules Tv show
The pugs wide eyes made my day
Perfect timing, I’ve been binge watching mythology explained lately
Jon solo is the best CZcamsr ever . Like if u agree
alex oconnor 100%
alex oconnor yes!!
Only because it's True
couldn't you just say Jon solo is the best CZcamsr ever and leave it like that? of course, people here would agree it's on HIS channel. jeez, such a beggar -_-
alex oconnor he’s one of the least offensive and annoying. He’s not a giant hooker or a liar or doing a character. It’s honestly a great example to all aspiring CZcamsrs.
I would die for Gunther
I absolutely love this! Awesome Job, again, Jon! :D
Why have I never heard of Skillshare before!? I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS JON SOLO 😍
Can you do Cupid for Valentine’s Day? I love his story, and would love for you to tell it.
New pupper!!
Absolutely love your videos ❤️ been a big fan for while. And your puppy is adorable ♥️
A suggestion on a topic you should cover is "the three wise monkey" (know as ; see no evil, hear no evil , speak no evil) would be awesome knowing the backstory n the meaning of everything.
Keep up the good work. Have a blessed night/day
Can't tell what I love more: the funny educational info or Gunther❤
omg a PUPPYY
Early!! Btw love your vids!!
I love love love Hermes! I have had to stop myself from getting more Hermes related tattoos. PART 2 pleassseee
Hermes is my fav so I’m so excited that you’re doing him :)
Your dog is so CUTE
That puppy is so cute! I'm trying to look at you while you're speaking but dude that puppy...
For some reason I imagine Apollo going to Zeus dragging DAY OLD Hermes saying"DAD,HERMES WON'T GIVE ME BACK MY CATTLE!"
This is one of the best vids. The content + your presentation . . .divine! 😄💛✌🏼
new video suggestion: be about Apollo and Artemis!
Can you do The Messed up Origins of The Black Cauldron please 😊
Gunther!!! 😍
What a precious puppy!🥰
Thank you for Sharing him with us!
Great episode and love the pup
PUG!!!!!
So glad no one else heard my voice when Gunther was introduced
Sure about that, are you? lol
I always love your content!
Dude!! Hermes is so cool! Can we have a pt 2??
