Half of greek mythology goes like this:
"It was a beautiful day and a young beautiful maiden was going about her day. *Then came along zeus and he hurled his thunderbolt* "
And then came Zues. He Hurled his "Thunderbolt" ;)

Letâs talk about how great Orpheusâ design is for a hundred years.
Yes
where?
â@@joshuabautch8936 at 6:47
As a Hadestown fan, lemme tell you, I was ecstatic at seeing orpheus, especially with such an awesome design
@@animationmusicals As a persona 3 fan I was also ecstatic to see Orpheus and agree that his design in this is AMAZING
Jake you probably wonât see this but you are the reason I got into Greek mythology thank you so much
same
He saw it
I regret getting into Greek Mythology because it's so messed up
Despite his eagerness to bang anything in existence, zeus is ironically also the god of hospitality
If Zeus came into your home he'd want permission to fudge all there is to fudge in it, but "promoting hospitality" sounds better
I 5ink in the case of Zeus,itâs do as I say, not as I do
Aphrodite being Zeus' kid is the only framework where Zeus not boning her makes sense.
No, it still doesn't make any sence
Eh, Zeus would do her either way.
Brah he slept with Persephone, his daughter & his brother's wife. His reason to not sleep with Aphrodite is not clear.
@@anshpaul7087 I mean, I'd assume it's because she didn't want to sleep with him. Which, usually, is not much of a deterent for Zeus, but even he (or he especially) would be reluctant to piss off the godess of love herself
Well... not the ONLY framework. Her other origin is as a primordial goddess who technically outranks him in the celestial hierarchy. Zeus is a horndog for sure but he's also extremely paranoid about keeping his position as head honcho god. Even if he was brave enough to try seducing her... he would never be brave enough to have a child that could potentially be more powerful than he is which would be likely to happen if he had a child with a primordial goddess.
To quote Neil Gaiman: âF***ing Zeus gets everywhere.â
Wait he actually said that?
Yep
â@@omarsalem1219Neil Gaiman says a lot of unexpected things
âhow many episodes of this will there be, will we see all 92 of his kids.
99 actually. 101 if you want to count the orphic myths.
@@sobanlshaq8271 thereâs probably more that we donât know about, but those stories would have been lost to the mists of time
Imagine having so many kids that you need two videos just to list them all
Not nearly them all
That aint even half mate
@@hunterlawrence3573 damn
Wolverine has enough children for that.
@@legoking6165 the super hero?
Here all the ones I like
Athenaâs mother MĂ©tis is Zeusâs cousin, the daughter of Zeusâs aunt and uncle Oceanus and Tethys
âPerseusâs mother Danae is a direct descendant of Zeus (think great x 6 grandpa)
Heraclesâs mother Alcmene is Perseusâs granddaughter, making her Zeusâs great granddaughter
Artemis and Apolloâs mother Leto is also Zeusâs cousin
Hermesâs mother the Pliad Maia is the daughter of Atlas and Pleione (who are cousins to Zeus and each other) making her Zeusâs first cousin once removed on both sides.
That also makes Zeus be in the same generational level as Maiaâs parents.
And finally, Dionysusâs mother is the mortal woman Semele. She is the daughter of Cadmus and Harmonia. That seems fine at first, but Harmonia is the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares. Aphrodite is either Zeusâs daughter or Aunt depending on who you ask, so Harmonia is either Zeusâs granddaughter or Cousin on that side, and Ares is Zeusâs son, so Harmonia is his granddaughter on that side. Making Semele either his great granddaughter on both sides, or his great granddaughter-First cousin once removed, depending on Aphrodite.
Conclusion? Zeus is gross
Is there any line he won't cross?
â@@legoking6165 His Female Version
@@cgt3704 Knowing Zeus, he would probably try
Itâs Zeusâ but 2
He also uh... forced himself on his own niece
@@xavierwalker6470
Thatâs not very specific, which niece and what kid was the product?
I just showed to my history professor here in Greece this video, and he said that your explanation of the powers of greek gods was the best he's ever heard.
Lemme explain something real quick with the whole Zagreus and MelinoĂ« thing. Zeus and Hades were combined at one point. Thereâs this one epithet that is linked to both Zeus and Hades: Zeus Katachthonios, meaning Chthonic Zeus or Zeus of the Underworld. This throws people off sometimes. Hopefully this is sort of helpful for those who are confused.
Yeah I believe the story of Zagreus birth literally says Dark Zues which is just another name for hades
â@@anthonymignogna4703 Regular Zeus, Wet Zeus and Dark Zeus.
@@anthonymignogna4703 emo Zeus
People believed that saying Hadesâ name would draw his attention and speed them to an early grave, so calling him the Underworldâs Zeus was likely one of the ways they got around it. It was probably one of those things everyone knew, so they didnât feel the need to explain.
@@tenderandmoist5011 That's a good one!
Guess like father, like son!
Oh boy, I vividly remember seeing the Hades Gameplay and being like hey Zagreus looks neat - let me look up his myths
I had to lie down and stare at the ceiling for a whole hour after that
So in Hades you can tell Orpheus that you(Zagreus) and Dionysus are the same person to fuck with him and he'll end up singing a song about a very similar situation to what you described. I had no idea it was calling back to his actual origin.
I like how Zagreus resembles old iterations of Dionysus, cuz when you think about it, Zagreus *is* kinda like an old iteration of Dionysus
All these mythology vida are what turned me into a complete mythology geek
*Zeus just got the Robert Baratheon Arc in Greek mythology. And Hera being like Cersei makes alot of sense too.*
Kid: My dad is Zeus!
The rest of the preschool: Yeah, that isn't something new
I loved the part where Persephone was giving the middle finger to Pirithous, hilarious. This was a great video.
4:32 as an aroace person myself, I approve this little reference
aro and ace pride, world!
At this point Zues is gonna go bankrupt over child support
Another thing to note with the Aphrodite thing is that she wasn't the only love god. There was another god, Eros, who is sometimes depicted as a primordial god as old as Gaia, and sometimes depicted as a son of Aphrodite. In either case, he's commonly depicted as being the one who decides who falls in love with who, using his golden arrows. When a god is said to make someone fall in love with someone, they're usually enlisting the aid of Eros.
Fun fact: after Zeus punished Aphrodite, he in fact never had another mortal son, with the last two alive being Sarpedon and Helen. Some later greeks would say Alexander the great was his son but most did not agree with that. So Zeus definily (and other gods too) did not have any more children after that story.
Also Poseidon had a lot of weird sons like horses, two headed giants and a cyclops, it would be funny to explore his sons.
And by a Cyclops, you mean like a hundred Cyclopes.
@@andyhodgson7882 the Odyssey states that only Polyphemus is his son. The other Cyclops are said to be related to the Phaeacians and giants, not Poseidon. The reason of why Poseidon fathered a cyclop is because the mother is Teosa, a daughter of Phorcys, and the sons and daughters of Phorcys were monstrous in nature, so it makes sense that Polyphemus would inheretly monstrous features from that side of the family, instead of Poseidon.
I love this cause he got me into Greek mythology
I always thought Maia gave birth to Hermes in a cave so that Hera wouldn't find out and kill or curse both of them.
Nah, Hera was chill with Maia
She already lived in that cave. According to the hymm, Hera was sleeping during the affair and never noticed anything.
"Whaat? I didnt steal any cows, I'm just a wittle baby. I don't even know what a cow is, theehee!" - KILLED ME!
I swear Zeusâs theme song is âSweet Home Alabamaâ.
No, it's Candy shop by 50 Cent.
If anyone can tell what that's a reference to, you have my respect.
@@legoking6165 I know the reference now, good one.
1:25
"Sir, did you steal Apollo's cows?"
"IEFBEIFBIEVBEIBWBDKEFHEJFKEEKWK."
"HES INNOCENT MY LIL BABBY đ"
6:43 Yo, I hope he's playing Mass Destruction with that lyre.
Semele: "whatcha got there Zeus?"
Zeus: "a smoothie"
i swear this isnt a family tree anymore its a family wreath đ
5:29 PIKACHU USE SWEET KISS
The way Jake draws all the Greek gods is exactly like I always pictured them. Lol
Ah yes the lightning seed, they are numerous
For the record, it's Eros, god of sexual love, who presides over making people fall in love by striking them with his arrows. Maybe Zeus was able to convince him to strike Aphrodite?
Maybe, by the time the hymm was composed Eros was non-existing (with exception of the Hesiod Eros, who is not the same as Aphrodite son, is more like Phanes), so this why he dont appear in the story, but it would make more sense of Zeus used him.
@@sonofcronos7831 Aphrodite NOT being Eros mother would only make him less hesitant to strike her. Hesiod made him out to be a being that even the gods fear; it would only make more sense in that case.
What do I get for correctly guessing that was Zagreus?
A like
You should do a video on Thanatos the Greek god of death
I love these vids I've always loved Greek mythology but these helped me learn more about it keep up the good work â€
5:24 speaking of gods and pokemon, there's a unique fan game I played called pokemon Africanus where you are a Roman soldier fighting in the 2nd punic war using pokemon, and in the postgame you get to fight the gods of olympus.
4:53 perfect explication
5:47
Me who my dad named me after Aeneas
Me: thatâs Meeeeeeeeeee
You know it's a good day when Jake uploads a video
7:32 It is speculated that Zeus was originally a title before it became a name kind of like with the god Baal, Hades himself have several epithets with the name Zeus in them
really helped on my term paper, thanks
Can I just say, the way you draw cows is SO cute!!! I love it every time I see them!
Love this series! Very informative, well-researched, and charming (animation and humor wise)! :^)
Yay! Part 2!
So Zeus is Zagreus' Father,Great Uncle, and Great Grand Father anything I'm missing here? XD
A Jake Video a Day keeps the sadness away.
Zeus' family tree is just a tesserakt at this point. He stuck his thunderbolt into everything that has holes
I KNEW IT 7:06
I knew he was Zagreus
I'd love to see your take on Eros! I know he isn't a big mover and shaker, but he is super neat
I rly love your work! Its fun and informativ. Truhly a good job.
Will you make a video about Nyx? The Goddess even Zeus fears?
Dang! Persephone can't catch a break: not only was she kidnapped and forced to marry her maternal and paternal uncle, she was also raped by her own father?!!!
I love your new avatar! Very cute!
I love these videos
The list of Zeus's kids is just a never-ending "But wait, there's more!"
Love your videoâs
Bro i love your chanel so much you just grow my sudden urge to learn somthing about greek myth
7:01-Zeus: "Oh, when Gaea beds their own child that's accepted but when I do it, that's weird!"
According to Hesiod, Gaia bore Uranus(Sky) and Pontos(Sea).
Hesiod, Theogony 126-130:
"And Gaia(Earth) first bore starry Uranus(the Heaven), equal to herself, to cover her on every side, and to be an ever-sure abiding-place for the blessed gods. She[Gaia] bore also the fruitless deep with his raging swell, Pontos(the Sea), without sweet union of love."
Gaia with Uranus: 12 Titanes
Gaia with Pontos: 5 sea-gods(Nereus, Thaumas, Ceto, Phorcys and Eurybia)
I'm excited
Iâm interested to hear the explanation for why Aphrodite is on the thumbnail.
You see there are two Aphrodite's. Aphrodite Ourania who was created after a piece of the sky fell to the sea and she came from the foam (that's what her name means). The other is Aphrodite Pandemos who according to Homer in the Iliad book 5 she was a daughter of Zeus and Dione an Oceanid. After millenia the two Aphrodites merged. Aphrodite Ourania was symbolizing true love and Pandemos was the crazy bitch we all know
She's his daughter in most Greek myths. It's also the only framework where him not boning her makes sense.
@@gabrielrussell5531 hahaha you truly think that would stop Zeus?
@@JoSheperd Gaia đ
Love your new sona character, love your art style a lot
i see jake uploads a vid i watch its pretty simple
I love your videos
Thanks to you I enjoy Greek mythology
Itâs just I donât know as much as other people and most info goes over my head
I love it when things are super funny !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice vid
Neat. But I thought that Zagreus was Dionysus before he become the version of Dionysus that we know and kind of love
Yes, and this myth served as an explanation of how that happened.
Good vid
0:57 not smited but smote
Counterpoint, "smited" is funnier.
Smate
MAKE đ A đ VIDEO đ ABOUT đ *BALDUR!!!* đ
Bro you should definitely make a video about the 9 realms
Can you do a video on âchaosâ
Zeus doesn't have a family tree; it's more like a big family bush
"Persephone, who was betrothed to her *UNCLE* Hades"
Wait- *sweet home Alabama starts playing*
1:29 there is a typo in the text about Hermes defending himself, end of the second line "thesun" is written
7:45 damn those egyptian bbls went crazy back in the day
This ad is so good the only way I can describe how good it is is with the Monsters inc sully Noice.
I was wondering if you could talk about Ampelos/Ampelus next?? Heâs just a lover of Dionysus and all that stuff, itâs fine if you donât. đ€·đ§
I canât wait to see how many comments there will be when it premiers
Yea me too
Hey! Your content. I like it. Good job. Ooga booga.
"My goodness, is nothing beneath you?" -Whis, from dragon ball super, to zeus, especially in regards to Zagrius.
This is cool
I cannot BELIEVE that you DID NOT MENTION that Zagreus might just be the name for the edgy teenager pahse of Dionysus
8:07 never thought I'd read the phrase "shaking his hairy chaps" but here we are...
Zeus has got some god-like harizzment
Could you do something on thw Odyssey? And the helios and apollo overlap?
ZAG IS SO TINY I LOVE HIM!
I like how a lot of Greek mythology is just Zeus not keeping it in his pants
Very cute 3:34 I am now subscribed
You already beat me to the fact
5 months later i finally decided to do the math (i drew a family tree) BUT.
7:16 it wasnt double incest. it was more like 3 or 4 times depending how you look at it.
Gaia sprouted Uranus (which in my books counts as a son but hey) they had Cronus and Rhea. Those two had Zeus and Demeter. Who had Persephone. Then Zeus and Persephone had Zagreus.
So 3 times if you dont count sprouting a sentient sky out of nowhere as having a kid and 4 if you do.
Awesome
Greek mythology is pretty much just "Zeus got that dawg in him"
W doubleyoo
6:21 sweet home alabama
