So if Zues essentially crafted a deity that is his wisdom, or set his wisdom separate from himself as the deity Athena.... this would explain why he's left dictating his actions based on his downstairs brain.
@@johnjoestar2465 Perseus’s mother Danae is a direct descendant of Zeus (think great x 6 grandpa) Heracles’s mother Alcmene is Perseus’s granddaughter, making her Zeus’s great granddaughter Artemis and Apollo’s mother Leto is also Zeus’s cousin Hermes’s mother the Pliad Maia is the daughter of Atlas and Pleione (who are cousins to Zeus and each other) making her Zeus’s first cousin once removed on both sides. That also makes Zeus be in the same generational level as Maia’s parents. And finally, Dionysus’s 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 Zeus’s daughter or Aunt depending on who you ask, so Harmonia is either Zeus’s granddaughter or Cousin on that side, and Ares is Zeus’s 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
@@thebaldcat6708 yes zeus is indeed very gross, but incest is kinda unavoidable between gods and titan and whatnot because they are all related, but Ig you could marry as far as possible for it to not be too bad, or marry a mortal(tho zeus already does that on a very high scale) or give a mortal godhood idk, also any other demigods u missed idk like Helen of troy or whatever etc idk?
Fun fact Métis being swallowed by Zeus is theorized by me that it is one of the reasons Hestia didn’t want a husband. Another is that she was Cronus’s first born meaning she experienced her 2 sisters 2 brothers and rock being swallowed by Cronus.
Lol, we call him that because "The Library" was traditionally attributed to Apollodorus of Athens, until scholars noticed that he mentions stuff that happened after that person died, so it was probably some different Apollodorus.
There was a comment over on one of overly sarcastic productions videos that basically said that Zeus and Metis’s prophesied son was technically Dionysus. Since Metis was a part of Zeus (after he ate/absorbed her) and Zeus gave birth to Dionysus, that made him Metis’s son, too, in a roundabout way. I combined this head canon with another comment that says that Zeus knows Dionysus has the power to overthrow him so he keeps Dionysus perpetually drunk.
I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one with that headcanon I further like to believe that the only time Dionysus was sober was when he attacked those sailors that captured him and then if we identify Dionysus to Zagreus among others and whatnot it really shapes him up to be quite the interesting character
@@immortalgunngaming yep, in all of dionysus' older characterizations he's a terrifying force to be reckoned with, and i honestly love the idea of that being a peek into him being stronger than Zeus
Weirdly enough, I saw a similar but different idea on a mythology themed wiki (so take it with a metric ton of salt, though it _did_ have a source attached so there’s that) that I really liked but am unsure of the authenticity of-basically, Zeus was told he needed a successor and naturally everyone assumed he’d pick one of his sons with Hera, Ares or Hephaestus. Given that these two are some of Zeus’ least favorite people, he’s all like “oh TARTARUS naw!” and instead picks Zagreus, Hades and Persephone’s (comparatively) more well-adjusted son. Hera, naturally, is furious and has the titans rip Zagreus apart for it, but then the Dionysus backstory happens you know the drill.
That would also be interesting in the context of Jesus's blood being symbolized as wine as his body ritually devoured by his followers and the ancient Greeks recording the Hebrews as worshiping Dionysus.
I'm surprised that Metis has never appeared in popular culture. At least nothing I've ever heard of. A deposed Queen of Olympus coming back for revenge would be an interesting concept.
@@WarriorVirtue It must've been real awkward for Athena for having her MOM as her PET BIRD EVERYBODY A PET BIRD, like imagine what their interactions will turn out: Athena:H-hello mo- I mean tyto.... Metis(Owl): Well hello there-, I-i mean, whoo... (I kinda headcannon Athena naming her pet owl tyto cuz its like, the scientific name of the barn owl so ye)
She features as part of Zeus and Athena’s respective backstories in the comic book series The Olympians. That’s actually the first time I remember hearing about her.
Yes, but Hephaestus was Hera's son, so Athena must have been incubating within Zeus' head for quite some time (Metis being swallowed ->Zeus marrying Hera -> Hera having Hephaestus-> Hephaestus splitting Zeus' head open). In one version, Hera forcefully gave birth to Hephaestus by herself because she was jealous of Zeus giving birth to Athena by himself. This version doesn't include Hephaestus splitting Zeus' head open as he wouldn't be born yet as of Athena's birth.
What I really find interesting is the fact that even if the prophecy talked about a male son Athena is still more powerful than Zeus (at least in my opinion), think about it. She's the only one other than Zeus that has access to his lightnings and the Aegis, in every argument or fight she had with other gods she has always won, every faction of a war she has taken the sides with has won and most important she's Zeus' pride, he accepts everything she says and with her cleverness she can easily manipulate him, both emotionally and mentally, and when you can control the big boss, well, YOU become the big boss. I think she doesn't overthrow him just to not create an infinite cycle of child overthrowing the parent.
I am more willing to blame ancient ideas of monarchy. That if a boy had been born with Athena's traits, even one without interest in ruling, that Zues would be threatened and try to get rid of them, leading to a classic greek story trope of the victim accidentally creating their killer in the attempt to avert fate.
Didn’t Athena rebel against Zeus in mythology Like I’m fairly certain she teamed with Poseidon in his coup but was somehow the only one who didn’t get punished
I always just figured that Zeus getting his skull cut open because of a headache, (a common treatment back in ancient times) gave him brain damage and his lost wisdom personified as Athena, but he’s still just as smart as ever because his neutrons grew back due to him being a god.
There are different stories on what became of Metis after she was eaten. One story implies that Metis turned either into the shield Athena is wearing or the owl that always stands on her shoulder. That would explain why the most famous Greek goddess of wisdom seems to have no interest in knowing what became of her mom.
@@lagoth3294 It was from an ancient greek tablet whose translation I read years ago. I couldn't find the tale ever since but if my memory serves mw right this tablet can be found in a museum on Crete.
To be honest, it seems that Metis' son would be more powerful than Zeus whoever his father was. So even if Zeus did not bang Metis, someone else would, and she would still have that son.
Actually the prophecy was quite specific. Metis would bore a daughter wiser than her mother (who ended up to be Athena), and a son more powerful than his father. This hypothetical son was also prophesied to overthrow his father, who would be Zeus in this case, that's why he didn't wanna risk it. This is also the same reason why Zeus didn't have sex with the nereid Thetis, who was prophesied to give birth to a son greater than his father. So he married her to the mortal king Peleus and she ended up giving birth to Achilles.
"So we all know Zeus is married to Hera, who is the queen of the gods, and they're a great couple." *Ah yes, A husband who constantly cheats on his wife who instead of being angry at Zeus, is angry at the woman who was probably tricked by him...true love.* Edit: Jesus Christ guys! I know he was being sarcastic, my comment is a joke!
Oh no, she was DEFINITELY angry at Zeus; she just can't do anything directly to him, since she was punished for leading a failed rebellion against him and was only set free after promising never to do that again. In fact, she only married Zeus because she wanted to keep her portfolio in tact after he tricked HER so he could bed her.
Two things: 1. My personal headcanon surrounding Métis is that the reason Zeus keeps making stupid decisions is because Métis keeps subtly influencing him and wants him to royally screw up so he can be overthrown, mainly as revenge for him absorbing her. 2. I find it interesting that some sources say that all of the Big Three were once married to Oceanid nymphs-Zeus had Métis, whom he disposed of when she became a potential threat; one Roman myth had Hades being initially married to an Oceanid named Leuce (Leuke?) who died and was memorialized by either Hades himself or Persephone via a poplar tree; and while she’s usually a Nereid, some stories claim that Poseidon’s wife Amphitrite was an Oceanid. I think this says a lot about all three of them.
I want to say I originally heard about the birth of Athena from PJO but it was the idea of Zeus and the gods being in battle already and he just thought up/manifested Athena and that's why she was in armor and all grown and everything as well but in my current Greek Mythology class they go with the shape-shifting challenge between Metis and Zeus, having her turn into a drop of water that he then drinks. Still weird but such is the nature of Greek Mythology through a modern not 400 B.C. lens.
Hey Jake, I very much like your videos, and I was thinking maybe making a video explaining all the different realms of norse mythology would be interesting
Since Metis still gave birth to Athena from within Zeus, and Athena burst out of Zeus's skull, Zeus is lucky Metis wasn't pregnant with twins when he ate her because the son might have come out chestburster style.
according to a simplefeid greek mith book they were playing where zeus would say an animal and metis would turn into that animal also as a fly flew into his head gave birth to and made armor for athena which caused zeus a unbearible headach as a result zues had his head split open and out poped athena fully clad in her armor and an adult despite just being born
Can you do a Indian mythology/ Hindu mythology? I would love to know the actual lore, since with every new religious soap operas ( they exists, and their is tons of them) the actual story is edited and changed by a lot.
after birthing Athena in zeus, Metis turned into vapor like thing and floated to zues mind, acting like a subconcious and nagging him alot. athena once grown. did the same thing but screamed and cried to be let out. which is what gave Zeus the head aches
i always heard that metis became zuses conscience so that she was giving him wisdom so when athena was ready to come out she came out of his head because of a bad headace that zues had
I remember reading somewhere that the Orphics considered Dionysius the prophetized son of Zeus that would overthrow him. Does anyone else know something more about it or did I make it up in a dream?
I read something like that. Basically, before dionyzus there was a god called zagreus, son of persephone, who was killed and eaten by titans, but before his death athena saved his hearth and gave it to dionyzus mother to eat. Next is the whole birth of dionyzus story etc etc. Orphic people believed that humans were created front zagreus body, and each human has a part of him inside that is returned to dionyzus after human death. When dionyzus gets whole body back zagreus will be ressurected and eternal paradise will be achiewed. Hope i helper :)
@@awesomequuash7417 thank you for the clarification, that is quite cool! do you perhaps know where I can find some sources (preferably ancient) on the Orphics? they seem very interesting and different from the more "classic" mythology
I don't know where but I was told that Athena was inside of Zeus' head and it caused him to have such a bad headache that he asked Hephaestus (or sum other god idk) to SPLIT HIS HEAD OPEN and out came Athena :D
I also think that Athena didn't just pop out of his head. After eating Mytis, Zeus got a headache so painful that he asked Hephaestus to split his head in two with an axe cause he couldn't take it, and when he did Athena popped out. Btw am I the only one imagining Zeus telling Athena "I carried you in my head for (however long he did)" anytime Athena wouldn't listen to him? Lol
I like the idea that Zeus just thought too hard and made his mind hurt so bad that a goddess shot out of him
In some sources Hephaestus cut Zeus’s head open with an axe because Zeus said it hurt
@@Noah73827 yeah zeus had such a headache
Yeah
Implying Zeus thinks
"Huh how'd that get in there.."

Métis is Zeus’s cousin, which ironically makes her one of his least related partners.
That also makes Athena one of his least inbred children.
I would think the random humans and animals he fucked are more distantly related

@@johnjoestar2465
Perseus’s mother Danae is a direct descendant of Zeus (think great x 6 grandpa)
Heracles’s mother Alcmene is Perseus’s granddaughter, making her Zeus’s great granddaughter
Artemis and Apollo’s mother Leto is also Zeus’s cousin
Hermes’s mother the Pliad Maia is the daughter of Atlas and Pleione (who are cousins to Zeus and each other) making her Zeus’s first cousin once removed on both sides.
That also makes Zeus be in the same generational level as Maia’s parents.
And finally, Dionysus’s 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.

the rock was the most traumatizing. at least when the siblings came in they were squishy and soft, the rock, well it hit like a rock.
Or one of them got hit in the head. Possibly Poseidon
