Wiki: The Twelve Labours of Heracles or Hercules are a series of episodes concerning a penance carried out by Heracles, the greatest of the Greek heroes, whose name was later romanised as Hercules. They were accomplished over 12 years at the service of King Eurystheus. The episodes were later connected by a continuous narrative. The establishment of a fixed cycle of twelve labours was attributed by the Greeks to an epic poem, now lost, written by Peisander, dated about 600 BC. After Hercules killed his wife and children, he went to the oracle at Delphi. He prayed to the god Apollo for guidance. Hercules was told to serve the king of Mycenae, Eurystheus, for 12 years. During these 12 years, Hercules is sent to perform twelve difficult feats, called labours.

Now to make another one.

nice
Hercules after each labour
"Mission Passed: Respect+"
Interesting
Jacob Locklear Do you think that’s the real Shady? Or is he just imitating?

@@UnenthusiasticPerson That Slim Shady is just imitating. The real Slim Shady stood up and said, "You picked the wrong house, fool!" not "wrong house fool".
You forgot his payment from Aegean king. "Mission passed: Respect+Flock"

@@italianspaghetti9056 yes
5 headed monster, the hydra had 5 heads.
@@edsr164 it gains more heads
I can truly say I am envy of Hercules strength. He was a true definition of not letting his pride get the best of him. He was a beast.
and killed by his wive...
Actually... His pride did get the better of him quite a few times.
Kratos:brother I do not wish to fight you
Hercules:I will be the next king!!!!
@@SteveSmith-ty8ko
Actually... It wasn't pride at all. His weakness was rage, not pride.
@@ejs7861 To be fair, It was caused by Hera. In a court of law, he could likely be ok due to insanity.
Hercules: call it my 13th and final labour...
Kratos:
He did not get that wrong
The god of war game is not the actual mythology he was poisoned in the real version
@@lukegray9378 its a joke

@@lukegray9378 dude that a game you such a bummer
Huge props for being able to pronounce Eurystheus once, let alone dozens of times!
Urethra
What? Is a really easy word to pronounce
Also learned that's how you pronounce minotaur too😂.
He can pronounce Heracles though
Fun fact, Cerberus means "spotted" which means Hades named his dog spot
cheesyfries79 Interesting fact thanks for sharing 👍
I feel like hades banning weapons against Cerberus was less to challenge Heracles and more say ok but don’t hurt my dog
See this is why he’s my favorite god
He named his dog spot
HOW DO PEOPLE HATE HIM
@@thegaminggirls2154 Modern depictions in media showing him as a sinister creature of evil, commonly mistaking him for Satan over the whole "Lord of the Underworld" motif.
u mean spotted
In some versions of the myth, Megara survived Hercules' madness, but the two divorced after the twelfth labor. In other versions, she fell to Hercules' madness.
You mean Heracles
@@garethjones909 You're not wrong.
I wonder why Heracles has hera in his name, the same person who hated him the most 😅
@@jimmyconway5169 His mother and foster father tried to appease Hera by naming him in honor of her so he would survive.
@@jimmyconway5169 it is irony, Heracles meas the pride of Hera 😂...
I got hooked on your style of story telling. I like it.
Alvaro Gomez swear
@@DavidSmith-lz6ze I do swear, I say, I do swear.
Same
Agreed!
Great story telling voice
What i really like from this channel is that the pictures, animation, and narrators make it a lot more interesting rather than listen to your old english or history professor discuss it through detail...
Hercules: *exist*
Eurystheus: I'm gonna end this man's whole career
Hercules: no u
Andrew j I think this joke would have been better if Hercules showed Eurystheus an uno reverse card
More like an uno reverse card
UNO Reverse Card
Kratos: Pathetic
Ghhojs
"12 Labours" sounds like an amazing wine.
Hercules: *Returns successfully from his labors
Eurystheus: I'mma head out!
*But sadly he didn't* 😞 *;w;*
I have no clue how this suddenly ended up in my feed last night but I'm suddenly addicted to these clips of Greek Mythology.
I know he was planning to trick Hercules into taking on his eternal punishment, but kudos to Atlas for being willing to bring the apples to the king AND taking back the sky so Hercules could put on his cloak and be a little more comfortable. Evil, yes, but still nicer than he could have been.
Or just really dumb
You mean Heracles
Wonderful video and great narration, it feels like I was watching a movie. The 12 Labours of Hercules is one of the best mythology story.
I can dig it
Greek Mythology got me interested in reading when i was young(5th grade ish) as before I hated to read. The stories were so full of everything, love,war, hero, monster, tragedy, comedy, betrayal, hope, cruelness,kindness, ruthless, compassion........
nice to now someone relates to me :)
@@Kaelsyn of course not although I’ve studied for years
Greek mythology is gotta be the worst mythology ever cuz love and kindness is like 5 percent of Greek mythology. I prefer Norse mythology cuz the Gods there are kind
Well duh.. the gods are a reflection of humans. these stories were made by humans it only makes sense that it would be filled with human ideas like how the gods arent perfect the way zeus continusly fornicates, the many wars, the tragic heros who die doing the right thing, jealousy, anger, pride. the monsters being symbolism for things we humans want/need to overcome
Bronze barrel: “you cannot live with your own failures, and where did that bring you?”
Eurytheus: *gets scared*
Bronze barrel: “right back to me”
*sees the hydra part*
Me and phil: “WILL YOU FORGET THE HEAD SLICING THING?!?!”
Now I want a game about the 12 labours of Hercules with today's graphics! That would be epic!
You mean Heracles
Hercules choked out of lion, and they say Jiu-Jitsu doesn't work
Steven Watson hehehe mata leon
Should’ve been an arm bar
@@theamericanhotspur2253 good point LOL
Arm bar is mostly for pain to submit. Don’t see how that really works?
@@maze9879 ehhh true but it wouldve gave him enough time to get into something better like a half nelson on a lion LOL
they really use a picture as the rock being hercules
He did a hercules movie
few picture of Kevin Sorbo (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys )
Don't forget Lou Ferrigno!
👍
Arnold has left the chat.
Where's Steve Reeves?
Why isn’t there a movie about the 12 tasks of Heracles, it would be good
Yeah, but I would prefer a 12 episode HBO miniseries instead.
@@_IronLion_ HBO?
*REALLY*
@@EmmanuelMoralesPetti
Yup, a gritty R rated series with each episode dedicated solely to a particular labour.
@@_IronLion_ Doesnt sound all that bad, but I feel like they could take it further and make a series about the life of Heracles, with the twelve labours taking center stage (of course)
Hercules tv show was pretty good with including all of this.
what can man with major depression do
me : nothin
hercules: choke a lion, sever hydra thing, clean massive horseshit stables with rivers, tame a raging bull, capture a mystic deer, fry some vultures, pet cerberus, get 3 golden apples, shoot the frikin sun like its an apple or something.
me: aight imma head out from this world.
The greatest of the Greek hero’s, god I love this channel.
@Quain Steadman The only problem here was that Hercules and Trojan war was real, and Zeus, Hades were not! In fact Percy and Perseus was Hercules's clones, while Thor, Heracles and Hercules is the same guy!
What about kratos?
kratos ??
Oh yeah, me too!
@@redharrison894 ? What are you basing these off of?
He should have ordered Hercules to mow the grass of all of Greece within a single day.
"Hercules, knowing he wasn´t Sonic the hedgehog, humbly accepted his defeat."
Fin.
Don't forget herculean father was a god
You know I have seen this in my recommendation for a while. I regret not watching it sooner. Great work man!
Honestly, the king is just letting Hercules gain more praise every labour
he probably hoped heracles would die on one of the labors or give up since they were so dangerous and difficult
Isn’t Hercules the Roman version? I thought Heracles was his Greek name.
you're right. Its pronouced HERAcles. Ironically named after hera herself.
Hera+cleos= Heracles
cleos+pater(=father)=Cleopatra
pater+cleos=Patroclus
Princekygo. My dear prince and what is in a name???
Hercules is the pronunciation EVERYONE knows...so that may be why he used the Roman version of the name
if we destroy the origin of the words we cannot prove the historical facts. there is no definition in the word Hercules.. while Hera(queen of the 12 gods) and cleos= Cleo is a given name that is short for Cleopatra or Cleophus and an alternate spelling of Clio. It is a Greek prefix often translated to mean 'pride', 'fame' or 'glory'.
Cleo - Wikipedia
You have great voice. I wish you make more of mythology story which make me sleep at night.
Legends and myths say, that King Eurystheus is still hiding in that same bronze barrow, after seing Cerberus.
So they say
Weren't 12 labours in myth actually 10 labours to atone for murders of his family and 2 were added 'cause he had help on few labours?
the 2 other labors were considered shenanigans
so basically it was 10 labors plus a couple extra
Yes the 9 headed Hydra was not considered one because he had help and cleaning the stables of the horses that hadn’t been cleaned in like forever was not counted either because the river had “ helped him” but in my opinion I think he would have needed help anyway no matter what we can learn to be independent and learn to have help . 👍 But , yea they would be 12 labor’s anyways cause he did all labors weather he needed help or not he did them .
@@rashelreyes1880 about the stables thing, it's either that or from what I heard in other Hercules videos he got paid which dismissed that labour anyways
@@shanedoesyoutube8001 The payment was offered by the king in some versions. Hercules didn't ask for it.
Hercules just pulled an *any%* on greek mythology
Cut off one head. Two more shall take its place.. Hail hydra.
Not Avengers bruh
I like the way this guy thinks.
Then " we shall cut there's heads off 2"⚔
Hail Hydra
Hail Hydra
This channel keeps teaching me more and more.
Precisely! Your sin, Hercules, was that you had no ambition! I can deal with an ambitious man! He can be bought! But a man who wants nothing has no price!
Who said that
@@khalbello8394 in the movie Hercules (2014) starring Dwayne the Rock Johnson. This speech was delivered by King Eurystheus (played by Joseph Fiennes). The way it was built up leading to its deliverence got in to me, it was powerful and I can't forget it.
@@janm5854 I thought it sounded familiar too. 👍
A man against all odds. Inspiring.
I love Hercules ! Thank you
Your channel just keeps getting better and better with every story you tell keep up the great work.
:)
Fun fact: Since the Hercules story came before the Romans it'd actually be Heracles. Just a little history/Mythology correction
Thanks but i knew that
Touch grass
Darn romans 😒I was looking for this comment 😆
I bet if hippolyta hadn't been tricked by hera, she,d probably think Hercules was quite a catch. You can tell how much he respects the amazon queen by being diplomatic and polite right off the bat instead of using intimadation to get the gurdle by force. He clearly knows how to be a gentleman.
In my head cannon its Hera's fault for wonder woman's mom banishing all men from the island because of hera tricking the Amazons into thinking Heracles was evil
Mans was literally Greek Superman
he is like the first pest exterminator
I would honestly like to see the story of the 12 Labors of Heracles be turned into a video game.
Name is Alcides and was changed to Heracles to praise Hera because she allowed him to live. Hera - k/h (a) have - le ( base of leave IE)
To look beyond the glory is the hardest part. For a hero's strength is measured by his heart.
19:05 Hippolita was stunned by the size of Zeus' son
Giggity
His true 14th Labor.
Then she had to go into labor...
Hercules:could you hold this for a sec ill just get my lion mane
Atlas:ok
Hercules: (talking to self ) awww
Atlas after years:hey didnt u already get your mane??!!!
The fact he took the task of cleaning the stables humbly because he wanted to be cleanse away from sin. Yo that gets me.
I love Greek Mythology please do more I love it.
then killed by Kratos
Yeah , a weakened version of him 😒
lol, also from Spartacus xD
Ah that incredible mythologically inaccurate game.. fun to play tho
No, he was poisoned
Kratos isn’t real
The greatest opponent of Hercules, " The Mighty Devourer and Destroyer PETA "
Thanks for this! I miss the Hehrcules TV show.
@1:20 in the video " He Consults the Oracle of Delphi to know if he had to continue to obey a man whom he considered lower than him self ..." Sounds like every boss or leader I have ever had! : (
20:14 the hero who saved the king's daughter(Andromeda) and killed the monster(The Kraken) was actually Perseus(Hercules' grandfather) not Hercules
Great-grandfather
Eurytheus: “hey Hercules, don’t die we’re under staffed”
Can you do a video telling the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece?
soon
@@SeeUinHistory did u made????
Not gonna lie this reminds me of kratos because of how his family dies
Hey
God of war intensifies
@@user-mj2fs8tl8g ayo
@Win From Within So what about the other Heracles that Kratos killed
@@samuellinn Point being that Kratos is just Heracles if he went on a deicidal rampage. Kratos should remind you of Heracles not the other way around. But since the actual backstory of Heracles isn’t that well known it’s understandable.
This need to be a movie
Yay! My favorite story! You're awesome Mr. See U in History/ Mythology
Whose here think like:" See you in history channel, " legends of History, Mythology and fiction are the best channels of this kind.?
This was really good and I watched every minute of it 👍 great narration too
Hercules? That guy was like the Starbucks of Ancient Greece. Everywhere you turn, there he is!
LOL FROM PERCY JACKSON
@@ImmortalPurple No? I was referencing greek mythology in general :/
The birds and the bull, is that like a euphemism for the birds and the bees?
Hercules : Cousin Im baack! I got what you want here.
Eurystheus Bronze Barrel : Here we go again.
Great job. I appreciate the effort you put into this video. Thank you! I love greek mythology.
Seeing kevin sorvo brings back childhood memries!..
I had a science project for school and I chose Hydra :D
Oh yes , that uncle and nephew collab the world feared .
Greek mythology 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for making these videos❤ because of you I'm in love with Greek mythology😊❤
Hercules Favorite character from Greek mythology
Such an amazing Story !!
thanks
Hercules in the Underworld: Hey uncle i need to your dog real quick
Hades: Sure, he needs a walk anyways, bu-
Hercules: Cool
*Hercules walks towards Cerberus before Hades can finish and human screams ensue*
Hades *facepalming* : -t do be careful... he is quite dangerous
Ah yes
Thankyou for making this video because I was thirsty for knowledge.
I enjoyed this video I remembered the tv series and was hooked mythology and so many adventures
Heracles separated Spain and Africa, what a powermove
I love Greek mythology and the legend of Heracles is my favorite
Any 90's fans of Hercules The Legendary Journeys? That show, that doesn't hold up, originated my love for Greek Mythology.
Hera making Hercules killing his family through making them look like monsters reminds me of when the Joker used fear toxin on Superman to make him believe he was fighting Doomsday but it was his wife and unborn child.
Lol. The word bastard felt more like you are saying it fro your heart🤣🤣
Like the way Sean bean says it?
I try to avoid diabities as much as I can
Good for you buddy👍
But i saw in one book that Hercules/Heracles had to perform 12 dangerous labours and if he completed them Hera would agree to let him live in peace but here its different story.
Excellent storytelling!
I really must say great work!
Romans: hippity hoppity your religion is now my property and Btw Heracles your name is now Hercules
Atleast they didnt keep the named after hera motif and call him junocles or something
Soooooo its Hera's fault Hercules had to basically travel the entire plain to complete those tasks :/ but like
Hercules: *finishes tasks easily* mission completed: respect +
*.O. I JUST REALIZED THAT!!*
Yes it was hercules was drugged up and mistakenly killed his family,
Love this channel love Greek mythology
You again... WTF everywhere I go there u r
Hi. Your videos are beautiful! I find it very useful in my discussions. Thank you. I hope you make more mythology and history videos. Greek myth is my favorite.
This is so badass. What a champ lol
Actually, Heracles also had a sword which he used with fire to make sure the Hydra's heads don't regrow.
Even the god of war couldn't take heracles
Laughs in *Kratos*
Great video ..loved every second of it
Love the content keep doing what your doing
Brilliantly Presented and Well Communicated....
Loved it, thank you!
Fate Series version of how heracles killed the hydra is awesome.
He killed the hydra with a bow and arrow. With one single arrow with such precise aim and skill he cut off all heads with one attack. Hence creating the noble phantasm Nine Lives
