Sarru's mother didn't raise a fool.
Bless you my bro 💪
yes, isn't he insightful ? and he is so observant.
"No one's sentiments should be hurt"
Not even a minute in and they prove that human is still a living language.
Not really. They said this to Babu as a warning knowing his lack of intelligence.
Ah ancient Greece where 90% of problems wwre caused by Zeus wanting to get laid 5% by Dionysus getting himself or someone else drunk 4% by Ares wanting bloodshed and 1% "other"
Hermes = "other"
Their was that one time Hephaestus trapped Hera in a trick chair and basically held her hostage until he got her to apologize for throwing him off the mountain for being ugly. Also that other time where Eris and Nemesis engineered the entire war for Troy partly because the Goddess of Chaos was feeling bored that day and got Hera, Aphrodite and Artemis to argue over who was prettier.
@@Broomer52nah it was worse than being just bored. Eris being the goddess of discord, was not invited to a wedding while the other gods were. So as vengeance she threw that golden apple etched "To the fairest" into the middle of the party, which got Athena, Aphrodite and Hera arguing over it. Eris is pettiness personified. 🤣
😂😂😂
As a Greek i want to thank you for this wonderful reaction video. It was incredibly entertaining seeing these 3 gentlemen try to figure out the ancient Greek gods. I am still smiling while typing this!
As Greek my self I totally agree with that comment. I wish our people could have your respect . Thank you sirs.
"Zeus sounds like a loving deity"
I almost choke laughing
He was a loving god in the context of ancient Greek religion, which is itself different from Greek mythology. He had an oracle at a sight called Dodona, where the majority of questions asked were about personal affairs (marriage, raising children, how to handle finance, which god to sacrifice to).
@@dmr2200wasn't this the site where he supposedly answer via the rustling of on oak tree?
@nunyabiznes33 Yes, but we aren't entirely sure! It's possible that the flight/chittering of birds was also observed to help convey Zeus's oracles :)
Sarru was very good at this! He has an eye for art history!
isn't he clever and observant ! handsome too.
0:36 " No matter which religion the gods and goddesses belongs to, it is matter of respecting them." Truly wise men 🙏
The Goddess of Babysitting - you can't beat that for an idea.
and not too far from the myth too: while in Eleusis, Demeter was the nurse of King Celeus' sons.
They show more respect to the gods of our ancestors than we do. Bravo to them!
There’s a very good reason those “gods” aren’t praised anymore. They were pricks.
That was the most peaceful, calm and seraphic representation of Ares I've ever seen.
It almost fooled me, and I have been studying and reading about Greek mythology since childhood.
There was no way they could have guessed that one. 😅
Only figured because the baby was clearly Eros/Cupid
@@luckluca8982
Yeah, and the shield.
At the beginning, I thought it was some kind of chariot wheel.
@@happyslapsgiving5421I knew it was a shield coz of the curve and strap but couldn't figure who it was. It made sense later that that was Eros at his feet. I think I've gotten used to the more dignified and formal look of Mars posing with a large shield and spear, in full armor and plume helmet that I forgot Ares would have been more physical and like to be in the middle of brawls.
@@luckluca8982He was siting next to a shield,he was also naked symbolising courage in battle indifference for win or lose
@@nunyabiznes33
I was sure it's Ares... but only because of the shield. Nothing else proved it's Khorne of Ancient Greece.
14:42 - Saru is a smart boy...
I love this power trio.
The Greeks had a number of deities whose portfolio involved aspects of war
How did Sarru guess that that was lightning just like that? It was impressive
It'd be nice if more background information was given. For example: this statue of Aphrodite is about 2500 yrs old, the location of Greece, show the Parthenon in Athens when talking about it, Delphi, and tell them a bit about ancient Greece and the Odyssey. Babu would have loved it
Interestingly, in the oldest known form of the Greek culture, the Mycenaeans, Poseidon was actually the king of the gods rather than Zeus, and he was also god of the Underworld. This is reflected in his later counterpart's patronage over earthquakes, which the ancient Greeks believed were caused by the movement of water underneath the world. The water aspect of Mycenaean Poseidon appears to be the five lakes of the Underworld; The Styx, Lethe, Acheron, Phlegethon and Cocytus.
Let them know about the shared origin of Vedic Hinduism and Ancient Greek religion
Thank you for showing us the beautiful inquisitive intelligent free minds of these gentlemen huge respect
6:44 for a brief moment I thought he was the god of wheelchairs
I suggest the Egyptian gods next as they were pretty close to the Greek world.
But definitely the geography now America episode as they should know.
I also suggest how America does elections for presidential candidates and each state. I know the Indian government elections are really soon so it’s a good way to learn about how elections and government systems work.
Egyptian mythology would be fun!
@@elteescatwould love to see their reaction of a god with the head of a crocodile and a goddess with the head of a lioness
@@hubertberrum6242 and cats! Don't forget the cats!
@@elteescat yes there is a goddess who has the head of a cat
@@hubertberrum6242 cats cats CATS! 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ ♥️
Thank you for such a lovely video. Art can be appreciated by anyone, but their discussion reminded me of my Art College days. More like this, please. From Yorkshire UK🎨
These were religious figures, the video was about these Greek Gods. This wasn't an Art Appreciation video.
@@LeeDavis-si1ho So sorry, you are offended by my comment.
@@angelahawman4263
Totally not offended. Just keeping the Thread straight.
Oh, I wished for an eternity for a reaction to ancient Greek mythology, and this was very well done! Well, Greek mythology had a big influence on Western pop culture and a lot of movies... wait a minute! You want to show them the Percy Jackson movies, right? ;)
Or possibly Clash of the Titans and Wrath of the Titans. Or Disney's Hercules.
Or maybe just all of them...
Hope you get to visit Greece if you haven't yet. Live on a small island since 1995, everywhere you go,it is full of ancient temples and so on
Percy Jackson is a sad joke
@@toomanyaccounts Eh, the first one was kind of alright. Not spectacular, though. Never read the books, so maybe that's why I'm a bit more generous here
No to remakes. !981 Clash of Titans is the superior film
Excellent conjectures from all! I wonder if they would enjoy the movie Odyssey.
As a follower of these gods, I was pleasantly surprised to see a deliberate attempt to not talk wrongly about them. It was nice to see the older gentleman even praise upon realizing the guy said Apollo is one of the most important gods.
lmao
Yes!! I love Greek mythology
My personal favorite Greek god is Hermes… known by the Romans as Mercury. He was a messenger of the gods whose shoes has wings on them.
Hermes was badass.
Actually, I believe it's his ankles.
@@LeeDavis-si1ho I think that the wings were on his sandals. In one myth his sandals were loaned to a mortal hero (Perseus?) to complete a mission and he needed to be able to fly.
Hermes is pretty alright as Hellenic gods go - I mean tbf, the pantheon also includes Zeus "I like ya, and I want ya, you wanna do this the easy way or the hard way" and Poseidon "I know I'm a married man but I'm off to have another kid with some nymph!"
I'll always be a Hestia man myself though. Hestia is Bestia. No kidnappings, no out-of-the-blue murders for not picking the green M&Ms out of her candy bowl, no continual slutting despite a jealous significant other constantly cursing people, not even a bit of selfishness. She's just fuckin' wholesome.
I learned right along with you. That was fun. ❤
From an art history perspective: the gods are all made of marble and extremely durable material that would have been hand carved into these shapes.
Through history the specific designs of these gods would change with early years of production showing more simple forms and body poses, as time went on the body’s took on more complex movements and depictions, towards the end of production the focus was on fine details that would be focused on in the sculptures.
For the bodies being rigid or having little contrapposto, the one foot bent and one shoulder dipped, eventually contraposto would be the norm - then complex forms where the body was seated or performing an action where muscles and fine details would be prominent.
The hair which seems to be considered similar for both men and women is infact exceptionally distinct from each other. We’ve been able to learn about explicit hair styles for both men and women including updo’s, curls, and braids. Which would have symbolized various implications regarding status. While women’s hair is generally seen up in a tied position it is generally braided.
The aspect of clothing depends upon the gods but also era it was created. Exposure vs modesty was important and the size of genital areas would often be kept small as it was thought that larger external organs would reference less focus on other subjects or intelligence. You can see important political figures with smaller organs vs the gods which are often depicted with robes which would have been painted the appropriate colors.
Aphrodite was a goddess of not only beauty but of war- rage and love go hand in hand and to love not only the people around you but your country was a major influence in early depictions she may be seen in more complex versions where later focus of being primarily a goddess of love would show her exposed body covering herself with her hands for modesty. Her form is almost always ‘plump/rounded’ as it was seen as a depiction of a beautiful healthy woman of the time.
Artemis was a god who prohibited sexual desires so she is not only the goddess of the hunt but also shows far more modesty in her appearance holding weapons, having full clothing, and the deer or dogs. The deer is a myth that a mortal man watched her bathing in a river and she transformed him into a deer to which she hunted and killed him.
Apollo was a god of the sun and knowledge yet often seen with a lyre an instrument he created and is not the god of music - that is reserved for the 3 muses who created song, poetry, and myths.
Mars the god of war was married to Aphrodite. The child beneath him was playing with weapons - males would learn the skills of war and go on to be soldiers. The staph in his hand with a human face would have been haunting to look at suggesting his ability to strike fear/the screams of war. Altho those are not in every depiction of him.
While important these are lesser gods. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades being the main 3 gods. The rest would be Zeus children. (Aphrodite, Artemis, Apollo, Dionysus etc) Zeus was married yet had no children with his wife as she was celibate. Hades had Persephone and while it’s a kidnapping they actually have a very fantastic healthy marriage. Persephone being the goddess of fruits/spring. The reason she is kidnapped leads to Demeter getting upset and invoking winter, when Persephone is released back into the word away from hades her husband does spring arrive. Hades the god of the underworld not death is related to the change of mortal seasons in this way. Plants begin to hibernate or die only for spring to bring things back to life. Otherwise there would be eternal spring without harvest. Demeter never wanted her daughter to be married as she’s a god of celibacy along with Artemis and Zeus’s wife. Persephone’s kidnapping and staying in the underworld was the only time the two can be together.
Dionysus has various various depictions. This version of him is lesser known and felt like a trick question. Most of the time he is depicted as a very feminine appearing male as the god of wine he often has grape leaves or a staff which was used by the followers to not only induce hysteria but madness or create violence. Women were his primary followers altho he did have massive followings of everyone. He’s also seen with bull horns as he could transform into the animal. Or seen as an elderly man. This depiction of him was tricky as he’s lesser known in his old man form it’s not considered his generic appearance. Often looking like a young man with feminine features. And grapes vines or leaves.
The staff in the hand of Hermes is the same staff seen on most medical signs in various countries. His nude depiction is a sign of being created in later years. God of messages and god of medicine.
Poseidon was the god of the sea and god of earthquakes as he doesn’t control storms like Zeus, he controls the earth to some degree. The earthquakes are tectonic plates shifting but a result of earthquakes is often tsunamis, it’s safe to assume that the earthquakes would result in unique waves or angry oceans or tsunamis. As for horses this mythos is related to marriage. For a long time he was attempting to marry one of the other goddesses however when trying to marry her he was designing gifts and one of these happened to be horses however he immidiately loved horses more then the woman herself and became enraptured with the idea of them and how cool they were reconsidering/resyndicating his attempts at marriage because horses were awesome. He’s also known for his unique animals living in the ocean all the fish of the sea etc so the making of animals is his forte. I believe he was married to a nymph of some kind.
I like this new way of them reacting to educational stuff and them getting things explained right at the spot. In older reactions they were given some random informations at the beginning and then they made in the middle and at the end wild, partly hilarious wrong guesses...and then the video often ended without anybody telling them, where they were right and where they were wrong.
This new way of correcting them and telling them the truth and giving them additional informations right at the spot in the middle of the video is MUCH better.
Hi, from Spain, I wanted to let you gentelment know that even though Ares is the good of war and bloodlust he is also the protector of women and those who can’t protect themselves, so he had a large female following (Ares gynacothoenas, meaning Ares feasted by women), I encourage you to look at the myth of his getting revenge on his daughter’s Alcipe rapist, and his trial (which he won by the way thanks to Athena’s, Hera’s and Artemis intervention in his favour) 😊
Bien dicho
Should have been explained that these were Greek Gods from over 3 thousand years ago.
that's true for most deities and religions though, that clarification isn't really necessary. these gods are still worshiped all over the world today with just as much relevance as any other god.
@@mels607
Exactly where are they being worshiped currently ?
@LeeDavis-si1ho Worship of the Greek pantheon and their Roman counterparts is very common in many pagan and neopagan circles (especially Hekate), and the central focus of Hellenism, a religion practiced primarily in Greece but also throughout the world. It may not be a Major Religion, but it is still practiced very devoutly, both among revivalists and reconstructionists who bring old religions back, and by folks in Greece who never stopped worshiping them to begin with, despite constant pressures from larger religious movements throughout history. Many ancient religions still have loyal practitioners to this day. Even in the US, I went to a Saturnalia celebration at the end of last year to honor Saturn/Kronos with a few Hellenists and some other pagan friends (good food, fun hats, 10/10 good time btw). Essentially, if you run in the right circles, you’ll find that they’re worshipped *everywhere*.
@@raegancollins1451
Like Ren circles ?
My running with my Renaissance group doesn't make me a Magi no matter how "Devoted" we are to the Faire.
You're confusing New Agers seeking to find themselves with actual religion.
@@LeeDavis-si1ho I would be curious what your definition of “actual religion” is, but to each their own, I’m not here to argue. You asked where they’re still worshipped, I answered. Hellenism is a religion that has been practiced continuously from antiquity to the present. It existed well before most modern major religions and still exists today, which is about as “actual” as a religion can get as far as I can tell. Although I get the sense we have very different views on religious theory in general.
For them wo dont know...Hindu and Greek gods...are Quite similar..with their powers...or story.....
Indo European connection
Similar yes. The same, no.
@@aidenharvey3784 They have the same origin
Professor Sarru!
This was fun! Just like the famous paintings video. I had fun with the guessing game format. They make a great team when working together.
Sending love to you and yours from Orlando, Florida USA
I would suggest that the channel’s authors primarily show documentary videos about universal history and mythology.
they would have to ranslate the video
It would be interesting to have a similar video but with the gods of other cultures: Romans, Japanese , Norse etc
These 3 guys ❤
This was a great video, i played along and got a surprising number correct.
It's very interesting seeing an outside perspective through their eyes, with some wrll reasoned guesses.
The ones i didn't know meant i also had to judge through interpretation of the art which is an interesting experience, kinda reminds me of trying to interpret murals.
Thank you for demonstrating respect throughout.I think it's great we can all learn from each other this way.
Would love to see the various gods of the world discussed, such as the many gods/spirits of Japan or the Egyptians.
I love these people so much. Even when talking about gods that were worshipped thousands of years ago, and are from what is considered a dead religion, they're still insist that we must be respecful of these deities and honor them. They show so much kindness and humility.
You people are amazing. Thank you. 🙏 Now I want you to please teach us about some of your gods/godesses. It would be very interesting to hear what you have to say about YOUR religion, instead of reading about it from someone else.
Someone should have explained why the men were always naked 😆
Good to see again all 3 of you together
My husband is out and I messaged him this about this new video.
Me to him: “Now they are filming content of sculpture interpretation and world famous paintings appreciation commentary , what a fun journey these years have been. “
Thank you for always keeping it fun and fresh content❤
We will watch it again when he gets home
❤ love you guys man, always very respectful
I think some explanations lacked a bit of context of the scultupres. Like Ares and they thinking it was a wheel, when it was a round shield seen from inside. As for the toddler at Ares feet, I have no clue either.
Awesome video, as always. I do however wonder what text below the first row says. If it was something important then someone did something wrong, otherwise same person edited a bit wrong.
9:41 i love his energy lol
I have to give you credits for guessing many of these gods and goddesses with such neutral representations ! I am fond of Greek Mythology and wouldn't have guessed many of them because they were shown without their usual regalia. For instance : Athena is often shown with a warrior helmet half on the head, a shield at her feet and a scepter in her other hand (or other object of authority or wisdom), so her status of Goddess of War (in its strategic aspect) and Wisdom is quite plain ! Same for Ares : mostly represented in full armor, helmeted and with a sword in hand, his status of God of War (in the killing aspect) is quite evident. Demeter is often represented sowing grain in the ground or with cereal crops in her hand to sho her agricultural ministry. And so on !
this could have been a very interesting and educational video for them. But you read off a bunch of complicated information that was way over their heads, blurred the importance/role of each god or goddess and you did not explain anything to them about the importance of the greek sculpting and statuary and how it reflected the greek culture which is very important -- yet Sarru was astute enough to notice some aspects by himself and picked up on certain hallmarks. You also had a mix of greek and roman statues and you did not point out the differences in sculpture and presentation. You also did not even bother to tell them that this is a very ancient form of religious worship that does not exist anymore and was eradicated by Christianity over 2,000 years ago.
dude each deity is a book onto themselves with details that contradict or change through history
@@toomanyaccounts So ? did you read what I said ? all they did was read off a bunch of complicated stuff that obscured the main essence of the deities and that the villagers could never grasp and 99% of it went over their heads because it was not given to them in a way that they could make sense of it all . On top of that, they didn't even mention that it has been a dead religion for over 2000 years now nor did they even point to a map to show them where Greece is located instead of telling them that Athena guided Perseus and Heracles and that the Parthenon was her temple in Athens -- which would make absolutely no sense to them because it is all new to them (Yet fail to tell them that the capital city of Greece is named after her which is basic information they can grasp) . BASIC information. The villagers are used to seeing hindu gods, so they probably think that there is some polytheistic civilization somewhere still worshiping these naked gods -- and they are still wondering why they dont wear clothes..
@@anastasia10017 as I said the actual details on each god are a book worth. you cannot expect a few sentences to convey anything of substance
1100 years ago. Not 2000. Worship of the old Gods survived until the 900s.
@@philomelodia True for the Norse gods, but the Greek gods? What is the evidence for that? Paganism had been outlawed for centuries by the 900s. And worship of the Olympians was very much a matter of the entire community participating in public rites, which would have been impossible in a climate where even dissenters within Christianity were being persecuted, let alone that the ancient places of worship had long been demolished, abandoned or turned into churches.
1:09 - that is some serious wisdom.
Is it just me, or was he on the BEAT with the music right here??? 9:09
0:35 So much respect!
I was waiting to see if they'd recognize Zeus! 😅
Fun fact : Zeus is seen as the Indian equivalent of Indra. But ultimately he is from the main deity of Proto Indo European Dyaus Pitr or the Sky father. In Vedic Hinduism it's the same : Dyaus Pitr. Actually Zeus was originally Zeus Pter.Dyaus Pitr ---> Zeus Pter. Roman equivalent = Zeus Pter ----> Jupiter
Please do Geography Now videos! Also, show more mythologies, such as Norse or Egyptian.
Hades is probably my favourite Greek God, he was a cool one, he really loved his wife, never cheated on her and was really just.
Where did Lurch go? Haven’t seen him in quite a while!
I loved Greek mythology as a child. Perhaps they should watch the 1981 Clash of titans movie, I remember watching it in latin class when exams were over. They did such a good job at the quiz Saru is very perspective.
maybe try norse or egyptian gods sometime too. a video on cryptids could be cool too!
2:54. The inspiration for the Statue of Liberty?
Should show the guys Clash of the Titans, on the other channel. This was excellent 👌🏻🙏🏻
I want to hang out with the little old man. He's awesome.
Прикольно
Norse Mythology is cool.
Next: Norse gods.
introduce them to dinosaurs
i want to see their reaction at BIRDS BEING DINOSAURS
After this they must watch Clash of the Titans, the original film. Most of those gods here are in this film at some point. And a lot of fun.
you should have them react to ancient germanic tribes after the ancient greeks, and maybe the romans or celts after that
These are ANCIENT Greek gods.
Why woud the villagers randomly get these random pieces of information about certain gods while other gods got the standard description? 😂
This is mythology though , it isnt to be taken literal,its a representation of the divine powers. Greeks didnt believe if they climbed Olympus they would find Zeus chilling with the rest of the Gods. Athena is usually represented with armor and medusas head in her belt showing that she as Godess of strategy uses every means for victory even monsters as weapons while Ares is represented naked usually showing that he is indifferent of victory or defeat but fight with honor and bravery, he is god of war. Athena is born of the Head of divine Mind Zeus ready in full armor.
You did tell them these deities are 1000s of yrs old and sre not worshipped today?.... some of the greek sculptures are 2500 yrs old
Actually Hellenistic Paganism has made a comeback.
@@MsAngelique and is a joke
actually many of the statues are artistic repros done during the Victorian era
They are still worshiped mate.
@@toomanyaccounts By that logic, all religions are a joke. I fail to see what your issue is with Hellenism.
Babu, the 4th reason for war: Power to control.
Hercules 1997 would be a good movie for them to see
I can't help but wonder what their reaction to Warhammer 40,000 would be.
dude even basic summary s several books in length
@@toomanyaccounts Not if you have Bricky narrating it.
You got quite a few. 😊 I hit 2 more and I am European.
Having fun with make believe
If you see an animal that is being creepy and suggestive towards woman, specially married woman, it’s probably Zeus/Jupiter.
What did Zeus have to do with Helen of Troy? It was Aphrodite who rewarded Paris, a prince of Troy, with the love match and helped him steal her from her husband. That started the war. She was the "face that launched a thousand ships".
Not much.
He was just her father.
He said: "Zeus's infidelity led him to father many children, and Helen herself (from the movie you watched) was one of them".
It really wasn't hard to understand.
He has everything to do with her.
Not only is he her father, but the lost prequel to the Iliad (called the Kypria) details that he actually planned the Trojan War at the beginning of his rule as a promise to Gaia that he would rid her of the future excess weight of humanity.
The entire Epic Cycle, of which we only have two sagas (the Iliad & Odyssey), is essentially a love story to the will of Zeus.
There is also whole story behind Menelaos and Helen love
I'll move to them location to learn respect and learn faith
Make them watch Hercules cartoon movie in the other channel.
Ypu should introduce them to Norse gods and pre-Columbian gods next.
LET THEM WATCH BILLY CARSON
Babu the Clueless
Next indian gods and deities
tell them about the evolution of whales
What religion do these villagers follow? It's India right? So most likely Hindu or Islam.
It's odd cos when I saw them I thought they 'look like Muslims' but their respect for deities as if they are not just mythological seems to make me think they are Hindu. Someone must know...
I thought the same thing as well
It's funny to think that a lot of greeks/romans gods and Hindu gods are related
Romans took their gods from the Greeks and renamed them.
Hindu is really stretching it...
Roman gods are the original Greek ones with different names.
It's interesting how even an old man from a village in the interior of India has some knowledge of Greco-Roman culture, as he knew about the Classical goddess of Justice. Western domination really does have some impacts we don't even realize.
Greek gods are same as Indian/Hindu gods. It's just that Greek gods have greek names while Indian gods have Sanskrit names. With language, time and distance the names and some qualities may have changed but they are essentially the same. Also, same goes to nordic gods.
they are not the same
They are not the same kid. Hellenism is its own distinct religion. Same goes to the Nordic and Germanic gods; they also developed on their own without external influences.
@@aidenharvey3784 how can they be the exact same. We have history of how religion travelled from india to europe just like how humans came from africa. Nothing wrong in it. I can feel you. But its the truth. Don't let your ego of superiority fool you. Vasudeva kutumbakam. May you be blessed with abundance knowledge.
Zeus is seen as the Indian equivalent of God Indra. But ultimately he is from the main deity of Proto Indo European Dyaus Pitr or the Sky father. In Vedic Hinduism it's the same : Dyaus Pitr. Actually Zeus was originally Zeus Pter .Dyaus Pitr -> Zeus Pter. Roman equivalent = Zeus Pter -> Jupiter
@@anujjagtap1604 The culture didn't travel from India to Europe. But from Europe(Pontic steppes) to India. If Christianity hadn't destroyed pagan culture in Europe.. they'd have been practicing a similar culture to Vedic culture. Archeological evidences show the ritual conducts in Europe and Central Asia which astonishingly match with the Vedas. Even the Vedic Sanskrit is very similar to European languages, especially east European.
bullshit.
Remember these are the gods of the ancient Greeks and Romans. They are false gods, not to be confused with the one true and living God of the Hebrews and now Christians. These others are of mythology, not of today’s world. Study religious history and you will find all peoples have religion, worship of something much greater than them and the earth.
Says you . Please go preach elsewhere. Greek gods were much more fun than your boring crap. Lots of sex to begin with. The church is down the road, hurry up, and you'll miss the mass. Boring, but you have to obey !
Paganism is kind of cool. Not that I believe in it. But I think it gets an unfairly bad image. Pagans could be wise. But they tended to use philosophy instead of religion to guide their morals and worldview.
False "gods" are a shame and a disrespect toward THE ONE REAL GOD: YHVH/YAHUAH/YAHASHUAH/"JESUS"/"ISA".
Bible thumper spotted.
You should try to show them the titans now. the authentic forms of titans as far as I know were much more grotesque, meaning the look of the idols used.
Within the first 60 seconds I gained a level of admiration for these guys that I didn't know I could for some random guys on the other side of the world.
The 2nd picture was actually Hera, not Athena. A quick Google search will confirm.
