Semele was an earth goddess, Zeus represents the sky and their union creates Dionysus, a god linked to vegetation, Greek mythology is very symbolic
I love that someone else knows that mythology is symbolic!
Analysis of the true meaning behind myth is often overlooked
Actually in the myths, Semele is the daughter of Cadmus; the very first Greek hero and Harmonia; the Greek goddess of harmony who’s the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares. So since she was a Demi goddess that would’ve made Dionysus only a quarter mortal.
@@mdplayer1636 who were Cadmus' parents?
@@uselesshero.official Cadmus’ parents were King Agenor and Queen Telephassa of Tyre and became the first king of Thebes.
True that. Every pantheon has symbolic meaning in its legends. That’s why I love reading about every pantheon their gods And the legends
And no one asked Zeus "Hey man, why's your thigh so big?" 😭
I kept wondering, since he had pain when he had Athena, imagine the pain when he still have Dionysus in his thigh?
@@sashawolfson3602 that just how sane Zeus is, he may be a playboy who can’t put it in his pant but at least he is a good god in general, not some psychopath that they make him become in God of War.
@@zenithofall1946 well yeah, I'll give ya that
I assume Zeus can change to many forms and sizes. And that his size in Olympus is a lot bigger than what his size was as the mortal man. So when he impregnated the princess the fetus was puny compared to his legs and even right before birth it wasn't very noticeable. I assume most gods thought he was bitten by a mosquito from the underworld or something.
@@zenithofall1946 idk it's kinda psychopathic to put your child In your leg. I hope you don't open up your leg and steal a fetus to grow in there
I love the fact that Greek mythology has a god for every single thing
Indian gods too
It's called Animism.
Me Too.
Zeus cheated his wife, his wife got angry and showed her hatred on poor innocent woman😕😕😢
I don't think she could do anything to punish zeus
All the time.
Put that on repeat for like 100 times and it tells the origins of all the offsprings of Zeus
Zeus: If it's move I can F**k
My thoughts exactly. Like why not punish the cheating husband too?
The story of Dionysus starts out as many stories do. With Zeus cheating on his wife.
"Once again having one of his extramarital affair" cracked me. He said it with a straight voice. Gosh
Dionysus and Ariadne are my favorite couple💜 Their so underrated!
Didn’t she cheat on him with Theseus.
@Mulan Nera My mistakr
Didnt he cheat on her with aphrodite
@@SmellyCatSmellyCat I don’t think so. He was really in love with her and was most likely faithful to her. I love their story ❤️
@@adamsampson2700 no Theseus was before
Hera's wrath was understandable I would be the Same if my spouse cheated on me, but she went to far for hurting all those poor girls and even the children.
She can't hurt Zeus because he's too powerful and because she's the Goddess of marriage she can't cheat.
Most of those girls knew he was a married God, so I think they asked for the fates they got but the children is where I draw the line after all they didn't get a choice in the matter.
@@savagedarksider5934 divorce
@@DemonCatMidnight if that's true, then I can't blame hera anymore.
@@masterlight2 Not gonna happen. That's like having Mary Tudor of England become A protestant.
Zeus causing the storylines of most ancient Greek legends.
Zeus just can't keep it in his pants
These comics get better and better I love watching your videos they’re so much fun
What a peculiar "pregnancy". Love the drawings!
Maaaan I’m started to think Zeus created Cheating on thy wife or just cheating in General😩
I say Cheating in General
The 2nd time Zeus became a pregnant man. Dionysus was the god of wine and ecstasy, but he was also of madness, festivals/parties, and theaters. His Roman name is Baachus. We all know that Apollo was bi but Dionysus is also categorized as lgbt. What is the reasons for that?
I’m not sure I understood the question correctly but I would imagine that because the Greeks noticed that some people were homosexual etc. and they viewed it as normal so they wanted to reflect that in they’re gods. It fascinates me that thousands of years ago a biologically rooted behaviour was totally acceptable yet today there is a considerable number of people who see it as unnatural. In some aspects humanity did evolve backwards.
@@cristinastan217 - Given any length of time, and humanity will reject once was accepted and vice versa - this process repeats ad infinitum.
Because a lot of people are bi when they drink jejeje
1. We can not give a sexuality over the gods.
2. Bacchus is a Greek name of the god, which was later indeed adopted by the Romans.
He's crazy
Are we not going to talk about zagreus and the Orphic view of Greek Mythology? That makes this story even crazier.
Happy Christmas guys and as always awesome video
Semele is the daughter of Harmonia, Harmonia is the daughter of Ares, while Ares is the son of Zeus 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Hera is Zeus' onee chan ( big sister)...🤷
Samele and her great grandpa😂
Bravo! Very good as usual!
Amazing videos, thanks for these. ❤🎉
These need to be longer!!! Love your longer stories best!!
My favorite Greek god.
Other than Hermes ?
The story about the Greek god of wine love it thus story will be awosme
"The most primitive & simple of religious beliefs among both northern & southern races connected the object with the divinity, & when the Ancients declared the Oak sacred to Zeus, they identified the tree with the god-in other words, the tree itself was the god, & in very primitive times was worshipped as such. This hypothesis is still further elaborated by the fact that the Oak is the tree most often struck by lightning, & Zeus, being the God of Thunder, or the Thunder itself, dwelt in, or rather had his being in, an Oak tree. Prof. Harris puts it thus: "The Thunder-god goes back to the Thunder-man, or into the Thunder-bird or Thunder-tree; Zeus takes the stately form in vegetable life of the Oak-tree, or if he must be flesh & blood, he comes back as a Red-headed Woodpecker. " The parasites of the Oak such as Mistletoe & Ivy, would evidently partake of the attributes of the tree & would thus be the thunder also. In the case of the Ivy a new & subordinate Thunder God would become evolved under the name of Dionysos, & Prof. Harris says: "Dionysos is the ivy; in the first instance he is ivy, nothing more or less" ; & again; "The tree is the thunder & makes all its parasites & its denizens thunder also.""

((This is related to fraternity & sorority initiations in colleges & universities. Specifically, but not exclusively, IVY League schools, which modern day makeshift Cults of Dionysus/Bacchus. All of which relates to the Super structure (or psychological platform) that functionally makes up Plato's Republic. Youth subjected to such initiation rites "adopt" (more accurately, are programmed to accept) certain sets of morals that directly impede the otherwise normal development of an individual identity (aka Jungian Individuation), directly related to subservience to authority [figures]))
Zeus sure does cheat on his wife but he definitely cares about his kids
He a Giga chad
Unless said kid is named Ares.
Except for Hephaestus....
@@Mythical.History sure he is
@@boreasthehero he likes Hephaestus only Hera hates him
Another great video.
❤ all your video's.
Why does no one mention the fact that dionysus mean twice born, he was originally the God zagerus but what ripped apart by some of the titans because at least how the store goes zagerus was the son of hades/Zeus and persephone. Some stories say that hades and Zeus temporary had fused to produce an offspring that was both half light and half dark to be able to rule when Zeus stepped down.
If you’ve ever read Percy Jackson, you remember him as Mr. D, the obnoxious, deliberately misspelling director of Camp Half-Blood.
Perfect day of the year to post this, the God's birthday.
Khaire Dionysos, child of Zeus!
Thanks!
thanks
I was just reading about Orphism and now this pops up. :)
People think being a child/lover of Zeus would be good but nag it basically a KOS Oder for hera
Can you make one were Zeus tells how many children he have and powers
Nice video
And then a bunch of giants ripped him apart and then those remnants became Zagreus
A person of culture, I see! :D
HE WHAT? 😂‼️
Zeus be achieving crazy side quests
Birthing from his thigh & head
Hera is smart. Beware what u wish for.
Half of the Greek myths exists thanks to Zeus cause he couldn't keep it in his pants smh
The Titans killed Saturn several times for his support of the Olympians over the Titans. All along, Zeus was trying to return his father to the throne of Heaven, so he created another body for Saturn to inhabit which we know as Dionysus. The Titans killed Dionysus because they knew he was Saturn, so Zeus combined his own self with Saturn to create a new and overpowered version of Dionysus called Zagreus. If he had grown up, this combo-god would have been the most powerful one of all. But the Titans killed him too.
Saturn was the king of the titans and also known as kronos, zeus' father...
I'm Indian and lives in kerala although I'm not a hindu l hear alot hindu mythology

INTRIGUE!!!...is what Greek Myth is full of, and just makes sense to me.
As tks ⚘⚘⚘
Merry Chistmas and a Pippin New Year!
I always pictured him as danny devito for some reason :/
Hera, Hera, Hera how many times must we go over this. Just take lovers of your own. W-Why are you looking at me ?
Apparently she can't because she's the goddess of marriage - that's what another comment said somewhere in the comments section.
Unfortunately as the goddess of marriage she can't and was heavily punished for turning against Zeus in the past.
Thats what i said but she can't cause goddess of marriage.....maybe Divorce, that work? Maybe not. 😒😔
@@sashawolfson3602 i don't think divorce was a thing in those times.
@@despinasgarden.4100 yeah, I thought of that
What about dionisus last life? Before killed by the titans
Merry Dionymas
And god of Madness as well
Imagine if Bounty Hunter D existed during this age. Oh boy would he have a REAL FREE STATE with Zeus. 😅
Thick thighs save lives
The reason that zesus keeps cheating on his wife Hera is because HERA is his sister. They literally have the same parents Zesus will not be faithful to someone that shares the same mom and dad. That is mad gross. That is the reason why Zeus is sleeping around with different woman. And Hera is madly inlove with her brother which is just sick. Zeus is a free man and have every right to sleep who he wants. Hera needs to get a man of her own and who isn’t her brother.
Zeus is based
I hope you and your family have a great holiday 🥃 Sláinte
And then Dennis got bored...got a bodyguard "male" or "hanger on" who kept getting him in trouble....they called him Jrod....then everytime they checked in on Dennis he was in school"not guilty" and then jod heard a faint sound in the distance*Kung Fu video game* and he then faded away and so did he's race thee end🥈that my friends was the 80's
Hera secondary antagonist of Greek
I thought Dionysus was a centaur
Hera would always punish the mistress
She deserved to be cheated on for what she did.
For Real!!😀
~welcome to the cult of, Dionysus~
Any army came here after listening to the song?
Now you get coupons for helping....not his powers...you learn to live and not want...and learn and grow....than grow old and die....sleep is your friend...evil is a suit...that feel in battle and blinded destroys ignorance and brings structure.... honor is to those who choose when they can and starve when they should....
Some people thinks that goddess Hera
Is evil but the thing is any woman will do stuf like Hera if their in her position.
And I also think she needs to get a divorce form her husband. She deserve someone better.
Why punish the women not Zeus. That makes her very much hateable
@@Gold.edits44 because she did try once she got chained she promised to never do it again
@@Cegorach-The-Clown she should probably get divorce. How did that work out
@@Gold.edits44 she is not strong enough to punish zeus that's why she takes out her anger on the woman he cheats on her with
@@firerocklaser6819 ik that by now but how about divorces
But how Dionysus got the place in olympus.. you should share the full story... Atleast in parts
And of course it starts off with Zeus cheating on his wife again
But Zeus apparently actually loved her.
On his sister?
Oh
In these days I feel like Zeus would get canceled
Semele is pronounced a couple different ways by the narrator , why?
👍
So Zeus handed over Dionysus to someone and 'Goddess' Hera didn't know? What sort of 'God' is she then when something can be hidden from her?
Gods are not omniscient
I saw your almighty allknowing comment. They are gods, whether you like it or not. Christianity is just another mythology.
And these are the God's we are still worshipping today. 😮 we need to see these stories for what they are really showing us. That we as humans need to love, honor, and respect ourselves and not expect it to come from external people places or things. A k.a.( the gods)
Mean boi
Zeus be abit sus
Hera is a good example of a crazy woman if she's soo tired why doesn't she get a divorce instead of punishing innocent people 🙄
has anyone of you guys heard DIONYSUS by BTS ?? 👀👀
Yes😂😂🤣
Wow i never knew dionysus was a demigod
In reality Dionysos was son of Juno (Hera) and Zeus. Dionysos is Seti 1 from egyptians. Dionysos, Apollo and Artemis were the 3 children of Juno or Hera or Leto and Zeus or Jupiter...
Friedrich Nietzsche - Hello darkness my old friend
Yeah, Hera deserved to be cheated on.
So that is how he got in Zeus's thigh.
Diony sus???😳😳😳😳😳
What happened to the original housemaid? 😬
He take the video from a french youtuber: Histoire et Mythologie en BD
dionySUS
Didn't Hercules become the god of strength?
Hail Dionysus! IO EUOI!!! IO SABOI!!!
DionySUS
Why is Greek mythology so weird?
222
Hera should curse Zeus instead
Hera gets so jealous she always punishes the women because she feels they are more actractive she never “ punishes” Zeus for being the bad guy
But Zeus is stronger than hers she shows her rage on the women
So how did Zeus delivered the baby from leg? 😐😐😐
I am Dionysian because I am dynamite
I hate Hera. She punishes the people who sleep with Zeus rather than punishing Zeus himself
She can't. Zeus is too powerful.
@@savagedarksider5934 But still. Also she can manipulate people into revolting against him. The god of sleep I think his name was Hypnos?
@@blueeyedduelist6412 Yeah, but the last time she tried that; they ended up fighting over who should take over Zeus place. And since Zeus have Metis wisdom inside of himself; He's not gonna to make that mistake A again.
@@savagedarksider5934 power has nothing to do with it....the last time she did it and almost got away with it he made her swear by the river Styx (which can't be broken) that she will never plot against him again.
@@smilebbyily2445 I already know the myth; I was stating A another reason why Hera don't rebel against Zeus.
Semele was a fool. She could have asked for anything but asked to see him in his true form? Child, I would have asked to be made a goddess. Give me eternal youth and life.
In the end she did, when Dionysus became a god, she is now the mother of a divinity, so Dionysus was allowed to bring her out of the Underworld to Olympus.
I think Hera should think of castrating Zeus because he seems unable to keep it in his pants
"At thigh level" who are you awkwardly paraphrasing?
Dionysus is Thrace god,is getted from thracians
Gods are so petty 😭
Ain't ecstacy a drug tho💀
Ecstasy’s real meaning is merriment and joy not those drug you do take💀
"The incredible" origin of a myth?
How can something that is a fairy tale be called incredible?
I stood by Athena, holding A ring.
Me: With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way through darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine.
