Metis: Wisest Titan
Also Metis: **Transforms into drop of water, not realizing the risk**
Anyone else noticed that the son looked just like Kratos?
Yeah he does
That's so sad for Metis. All he had to do was stay off of her. I guess birth planning wasn't something that he could figure out though.
I've often wondered about the prophecy about Zeus and Metis children. It was foretold that they'd have a daughter, and that daughter was Athena, and then a son. From what I can tell, every prophecy in Greek mythology always comes true, so how can Zeus overcome his fate?
greek myths changes over time.also it would be weird if someone suddenly reveals that zeus was dethroned by his son while people were already worshipping zeus for centuries.
or maybe there is a lost story of his son being revealed and defeated his father but everything we about ancient greek stories has a "mostly" consistent narration and those myths zeus has always been the king of olmpius
@@alienvisitor8393Ares: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, I defeated my father. I am the child of prophecy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I imagine if Metis escapes, she will devise a plan to topple Zeus, using the prophecy against him. She could transform into some hot chick to get his attention, and do the nasty with him in the hopes of conceiving a son who can overthrow him, just like Arthur's sister Mogan did when she slept with him so that their son born from this union Modred would one day rise up to take Arthur down.
Some speculated that when Athena was born an "owl" emerged with her and never left Athena's side. (Either her mother or her brother transformed), while others think it's kinda metaphorical of the conversion from ancient Greek Polytheism for early Monotheism, more specifically the arrival of Christianity and abandoning the Old Gods and old ways of worship.
Only thing missing is a myth to tell the story
@bentowers The short answer is by swallowing Metis he interrupted the prophecy. Athena was born first as was foretold. But with Metis trapped in Zues's belly the son who would overthrow him cannot be born.
This is honestly the first time I've heard it said that Prometheus was the one who cut Zeus' head. In most versions I read it's Hephaestus who does it. Although I guess it makes sense that it's Prometheus as in some versions of Hephaestus origin he was born from the jealousy of Hera due to Zeus technically creating Athena by himself.
Please consider doing a video on the mythology, superstitions and stereotypes of redheads!!!
Might Be The Greatest Birth Story Ever💯
Cough cough *Jesus Christ* cough Cough
Zeus: I LOVE you.
Metis: I don't love you.
Zeus:C'mon.(Zeus begin to chase after Metis.)
Zeus: All Mediterranean women look very, very beautiful ❤❤❤❤
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j No, Zeus Loves ALL women from around the globe. He's been known to sneak off into other myths.
@@DarthDread-oh2ne He stole a girl from the Canaanites named Europe and a girl from the Kingdom of Ethiopia. He is a person who should be loved by all the women of the Mediterranean.
Imagine promising yourself that you will never be like your father but you end up doing the exact same thing and not acknowledging that you repeated the same mistakes.
It was said that while Metis guided Athena, she peacefully vanished into thought, as soon as she reached Zeus' head, thus putting Metis out of her misery.
Thats a relief 😮💨
Do you have a source for that?
Hephaestus was the one who cracked Zeus’s head open
Prometheus was the Titan who gave fire to Mortals and was punished by Zeus for it
Technically Hephaestus was born only because Hera felt jealous that Zeus gave birth to a being as Divine as Athena. It would be contradictory to say Hephaestus was already born even though a majority of versions claim he was only born because of Athena's birth. It would only make sense Prometheus was the one to split open Zeus's head. Disregarding Prometheus's prior myths, those are irrelevant to this
Sources credit both Gods as the one who cracked open Zeus' skull. Probably just local variants
Zeus may as well marry every woman on Earth
Another great story I love it
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
Love the animations. As always. But I just gotta say. The Greek gods didn't bleed red blood. They bled golden ichor
Thanks for the information in this video
Poor Métis, did she ever escape Zeus stomach?
She's still there
I’ve always wondered if Gia’s prediction did actually come true; as her prediction was that the son of Zeus with his wife would dethrone him. Aries was Zeus’s son with his wife and did just that in the clash of the Olympian Gods. The only part I see up for debate is that Aries was Zeus‘s son with Hera instead. I have to wonder if Zeus hadn’t swallowed Metis, how that would’ve affected Greek mythology. I’ve never been able to find anyone to debate the topic with, but I find it to be an interesting take on the old mythologies.
Its possible that Metis is bidding her time to one day escape Zeus's body to scheme against him. She could try to get the prophecy fulfilled by seducing Zeus and conceiving a son as revenge for what he did to her.
Technically Ares did in fact gather his children to force an ultimatum onto Zeus and the other Gods and "end Greek mythology" since the gods could no longer meddle with the lives of mortals.
As far as the myth regarding Metis, some versions do claim the Owl that Athena is always seen with is her Mother (or brother) in disguise.
wow that's very interesting that one history Athena mm i love that my brother father.
ZEEEEUUUUUSSS!!!!
According to the information they have at that human-kind age, they use this writing expression such as Fobos to describe fear, anxiety and anger. This word was latter to describe phobias. This is a mere analogy between the changing temper ocean, with a person who has calmness as well as furiousness. Just like the god of the ocean. Is not that crazy, but clever the way they describe their cosmovision. Regards.
❤
Athena started off as a fly. Lol
I wish I could marry Athina!
you will killed by after this comment
Imagine drinking pregnant water. Lol
Lol "brain eating amoeba"
Insert genetic engineering at greek mythology becomes undestandable.
😮😮😮
Following tradition, if the unborn son had been born, Would Athena marry him ?
maybe yaa
definitly yes, gods of Olympus never learn their lesson
Probably not, Athena was a celibate goddess like Hestia and Artemis
@@megabladechronicles962 If this unborn son is anything like Zeus, he will probably find A way to sleep with Athena.
@@DarthDread-oh2ne idk about that, Zeus respected the celibacy of Hestia and Athena and Artemis were his children
I wouldve been proud to have daughter 😢😢
Didn’t u do this video
Zeus: I will stop chaos
Also Zeus: also creates chaos from his cheating and raping.
Poor metis and hera I feel really sry for her 😢😢
Athena was always Zeus favorite
Hence the origin of "daddy's girl"
Hail Athena!
The rebirth of athena
1:46 Kratos
Zeus can’t take a hint
What if the twins were born but athena was the hope to defeat her twin brother
Talk about a splitting headache.
And the other like the second boy almost coming out from tethys the nereid. Had she even mated with far.lesser.god than zeus her son with that far lesser god ever had the strength beyond zeus. If Tethys mated with heracles.boy her lad will be far stronger than zeus himself. With peleus as her mate her son only become the best.fighter of.trojan wars.
I wish that Kratos was canon.
If my memory is correct in Greek mythology kratos is the son of Aries and they just made him the son of Zeus in video games
@@telallno he was the son of the Titans Pallas and Styx
Kratos is canon, just not Sonys Kratos. He was the son of Pallas and Styx.
His siblings were all powerful in their own right starting with Nike (victory), Bia (mighty force), Zelos (Rivalry) and were all allies to Zeus. Kratos (or Cratos) himself was the embodiment of Strength and served as Zeus's enforcer.
More repeates
Gaia lie to Zeus only had 1 child with Métis
So we nearly had a God of war series
the second child would have been kratos
"Submitted to his will?"🤔
Sounds more like the usual Grapist act by our shape shifting grapist to me..🤨
How much do you want to bet she's going to be Hispanic or black in the Disney remake of Hercules coming out next year😂😂😂
And trans.
I can't wait to see her in the new live-action Hercules movie Disney's making she'll be a trans Asian😂😂😂😂
Athena is asexual
She isn't, the greeks didn't recognize Asexuality, specially not even in women.
The celibacy point for the goddess or women in greece was to remain pure nothing else.
@@flippednormals297 Asexuality was not discovered in Greece until thousand years later. Athena is the first asexual before the sponges
@@milutinstankovic4638 Like i said she is not, modern people just like to associate her with asexuality, to the ancient greeks that was never the case.
a lot of asexuals today might see Athena as 'asexual' for their own emotional support.
But that wasn't the case.
@@milutinstankovic4638 we already have a couple of implied theories about her that could easily disprove that she was asexual, like the myth of Pallas, Prometheus and Odysseus.
It’s too bad Athena didn’t receive any terrible punishment for her behavior. She’s not my favorite Greek goddess, to be honest I wished it was her head that was cut off. Not medusa.
