Greek Gods Explained - Theogony by Hesiod - Mythology - Messed up Origins - The Life Guide
Love the way these videos are brought together! From the music, imagery and of course the narration...
The Greek creation myths are so fascinating.
I never responded as I was so busy these last months but wanted to say thanks for your kind words! That means a lot to me and I’m happy you like the videos. Dionysus is coming soon and I’m so excited about this one.
Fascinating to see how the different gods and goddesses were born. Quite twisted but also beautiful!
This video is a work of art. It provides a great introduction to anyone who's looking into Hellenismos. Thanks!😁
Thanks so much for these kind words! I’m honored that you enjoyed it. My pleasure.
Great video - as always!! Would love a video on the Goddess Hecate who Hesiod placed special importance on! She's an obscure and mysterious goddess so would love to hear your take on her and her origins :)
Thanks so much! Yes, she fascinates me and I intended to do a video on her. Thanks for reminding me! Will put Hecate at the top of my Greek mythology “videos to do” list 😊
I'm just starting to get into greek mythology and your videos are amazing and so easy to understand. Please keep doing them!
That makes me so happy to hear! I’ve got a really good one about goddess Athena coming up soon. Planning to do all the Olympians.
@@TinyEpics yay! Looking forward to it.
Another great video!
Thanks so much! ☺️
i understand specifically things. Thanks!
Beautifully narrated!
Thank you so much! It took a few tries to get it just right 😉
@@TinyEpics ...and you succeeded without any flaw. Please, keep your good work going on, it is worthy for many of us and also for the ones who will discover it later in time...
I appreciate the encouragement! I plan to upload lots of new content this year.
@@TinyEpics Well planned! I'll keep stalking your channel for sure...
I oftrn think about the exact moment these myths and religious stories and stuff were created like who created zues type stuff i onow that question can often be more complicated than a simple answer but i guess thats why ive always really loved the study of myth folklore and religions
I like to think of myths as gradual expressions of human consciousness at various stages in our development. Real events, places, and people inspired the tales, which got carried along by the current of time and shared human experience. All myths point to something within the collective unconscious. People like Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell address these topics through investigating the symbolic world and why we developed myths in the first place.
I share your curiosity!
@Tiny Epics dude you said everything lol I absolutely agree and think the same way for me it's all about what was the cause of a story like you said what event person or place caused a story that would last thousands of years
🎉 Exciting news! I just wanted to let you know that the *Tiny Epics History* website just launched today:

You can explore the Greek gods in more detail and learn more about me and the channel. I hope you like it! 👨💻
"Hecatoncheires'' did not have 100 hands and 50 heads. There has been a big misconception here. ''Hand" in ancient Greek was also a measure of length, length of the human hand, as ''foot'' in English, so, in fact, "Hecatoncheires'' were some kind of ''100 hands'' tall Giants. I'm Greek, and i'm absolutely sure that even Greeks do not know about that.
Whats the painting in 0:05 called?
Sure, that one is 'Pythagoreans celebrate sunrise' (1869) by Fyodor Bronnikov. Here’s a link to a good quality image:

1:27 BUT I DONT WANNA PLAY AS PONTUS, DAMN YOU CA
Didn't know I need an overview until I saw this. =D I've always been confused by who's connected to who and how etc. There's just too many gods and all the others. After some reading it all just becomes a jumbled mess in my head. So if you've got more overviews up your sleeves to help unmess that jumble, please show! ^^
I think sometimes I make these videos for myself to better understand it all 😆 I am very happy you found the video helpful. There are many more on the wat.
@@TinyEpics One does get better at something when one teach it. ;) Looking forward to more of your videos. =D
Very true! Teaching is one of the best ways to know deeply about a subject I find.
But what did it mean? What did it mean that these are the stories they found entertaining or inspiring or insightful!
Early Greek mythology was, in a way, like a very early science. They used it to explain natural phenomena and the fact of existence in general. Their epic poetry was also a way to remember events that occurred in the distant past, so it had a quasi-historical aspect to it as well. If one group of gods overthrows another in mythology it might signify a real victory in a real battle long ago, for example.
You know what's really odd about the gods of Greek myth?
The children of Cronus and Rhea are all called the Olympian gods, yet, the children of the other Titans were still called Titans, with Oceanus and Tethys in particular creating the Oceanids. How is it that the Titan siblings had offspring that each went under different names? Shouldn't they all be the same breed of god and goddess?
There is basically no difference from a substancial standpoint: Titans are Gods aswell, and many of them were worshipped by the Greeks along with the Gods (Gaia was venerated and probed in her oracles, along with Theia; Ophion and Eurynome were probably venerated by the Pelasgians and so forth) . The Olympian Gods gained their appellative from the fact that they happened to overcome the Titans and attain to the superior part of the aether. Moreover, the Gods pivoted their action around a deeper focus on the cosmic ordering, and became distinguished by this from their progenitors. I remind you also that some Titans (e.g. Prometheus) even if not dwelling on the Olympus, could somehow attain the superior intelligence proper to the Gods just because of his talent.
....
First off khaos spoke everything into existence that's a start sir she is a hermaphroditic mother who was without form , ya know that god particle can only exist in two forms solid which would have a physical body and back to its original form a ball of light and dark energy and all of the elements which made up the omniverse, let's take this and put khaos as a factual being not transparent, that's not telling the truth, she's an alien from the cosmos, she's not just nothing dear remember she walks this earth to otherwise nobody can discover anything such as a particle, I'm going to use literal factual creation with religion and start with the gods and goddesses because they only came down to establish woman and man kind, this is a whole other level baby , she's the one the want to battle climate change over duhhh lol , ooops I'm telling to much lol , all of this ties in with reptilians the lizard men of the book to lol , wars etc etc let's really tell it , god isn't a man lol , why change or use myth to control or rationalize people's thought like you own them , oh I forgot you all aka snakes slep with people to breed and then use the gods as a cover up lol , why ? He's trying to make shit non literal why ? There's no new world or old world its just the world period , new world reptilians order huh you mean supremacy people huh lol , nock offs
he Khaos. may i question you to explane more about your part "oh I forgot you all aka snakes slep with people to breed and then use the gods as a cover up lol" or a movie here on youtube what is talking about this part....i find tiny epics very interresting but i keep in mind that those gods are fallen ones but in the same time they use those gods as coverup. how can i trust when i have an encounter and can make the differents between the fake and the real one.(in the mind/third eye)
This is crap. Why would gods not have moral values and fight among themselves. This is crap mythology
Myths concerns people who can decode them.
@Gustavus Mercurius hmm i got your point but in the same time see how many of this gods get a problem whit there partner who slept whit other ones either gods or humans. and they take revence on the other party instead of there partner who is the real cheater, etc.
