Title: The Many Lovers of Zeus | The Real Housewives of Olympus Edition - Zábava
I guess we have to pitch the real housewives of Olympus to Amazon & Netflix.
I want to see Gajasura the Elephant Demon Explained
definly
I don't know the god of the Chad's might be a little offended
Definitely!!
Or just ask us for #FanFiction📚 for you to make videos of this series { with season length that of star trek like fame } 🙋♑️✍️🇦🇺🇸🇯
Almost all Greek myths start with Zeus seeing a beautiful woman who isn’t his wife 😂
The origin of most Greek heroes
@@newhybrid101 the origins of most Greeks period... Man got around and populated the whole earth 😂
thats how we got god of war
Greek and Italian men are not to different today lol.
Zeus might be the god of thunder but not monogamy
i need a real housewives of olympus animated series fr
If that ever becomes a real thing, it needs to have Katey Segal as the voice of Hera!
@@legoking6165 wait that’s so perfect
Heracles: How many siblings do I have?
Zeus: Yes!
1 in a hundred people
All of them.
Hercules is the great-grandson of Perseus, and both of them have the same father, so that mean they are brothers.
Heracles: dad what the Hades?!
At this point, can we just start calling Zeus 'The God of One-Night Stands'?
I like to.
God of Tinder
Your referencing OSP right?
LMFAOOO
Oh snap, definitely
This should be called “The long list of women who are victims of both Zeus and Hera”
victim of zeus' horniness and hera's wrath or something
The best way to sum up most Greek mythology is just "And Then Along Came Zeus!"
And they call Hades a bad guy.
Hades is the most chill god in Greek myth
@@newhybrid101 Sure is. It infuriates me they have him as a villain in films etc. But in mythology he's one of the nicer gods of all of them. The rest tend to be jerks.
Well Zeus handed out his assignments for his brothers. No wonder in every show or cartoon Hades is pissed at him😂
@@ESUTERURE he is just the scapegoat for everyone when expanding why they do bad things.
Guy's just trying to look after the souls of the dead. Meanwhile one of his brothers shags anyone or anything that moves and the other hypnotised a woman into banging a bull.
There was a reason Thor called Zeus a shape shifting rapist.
Zeus vs thor begin lol.
And Thor was a genocidal racist murder. He has no room to judge.
Absolutely 💯
@@Not-Ap Thor did nothing wrong.
@@thesmilinggun-knight9646 Norse Thor was a asshole just like NA said. He did a lot of things wrong
The thumbnail alone gets a like from me.
Woman:"No, I will not sleep with you!"
Zeus, disguised as a goose:"HONK!"
Woman:"You DO have a point...."
What a cute animal, wait what are you doing.... oh very well. At least your not a god.
@@Kruppt808 "Look to camera"
"Cheeky wink"
"Roll credits"
@@Kruppt808 Zeus: "Giggity giggity goo, let's have sex!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
The intro tho. Was hilarious and amazing
I’m legitimately surprised Hera never went after Perseus, given her reputation for persecuting Zeus’s illegitimate children.
Yeah why didn't she go after him?
Now I know why lightning doesn't strike the same spot twice.
Between the thumbnail (the meme is SOOOOO accurate to Zeus and Hera), to that opening sequence... I know this video is gonna be amazing!
Loved the blend of humour and learning! Thanks!
Felt like I just watched a mini series of Zues house wives lol... I loved it 😀
One story I heard, I don’t know if it’s true, is that as the greeks incorporated more peoples into their cultural cultural sphere they wanted to make Zeus the head of those pantheons do so they could bind them together. This meant turning Zeus into either a polygamist or a philanderer. Since polygamy was so antithetical to the Greek view of family they turned him into a philanderer.
I'll buy it.
That's similar to Flinders Petrie's interpretation of Egyptian mythology: each god represents a tribe (whose god it was originally), and their various feuds and marriages represent a kind of encoded history of the region.
That's definitely the real reason. You have to remember that all gods are concepts given shape, and meant to represent whatever the storyteller wants them to. As a result, whenever gods appear, they exist to push that concept forward, whether or not that it is internally consistent, because there _is_ no internal consistency over hundreds of city-states over a thousand years.
One of the most infamous myths in mythology, the rape of Medusa, perfectly exemplifies this. Because Medusa, in all myths preceding Ovid, a _Roman_ writer, was purely a hideous monster along with her two sisters. She definitely had some relationship with Poseidon, but there is no indication that it was rape. Another example, concerning the mighty Kaeneus, had sex with Poseidon, but the earliest records of these myths had her becoming a man so that she wouldn't have any children, not that she was raped and never wanted to be raped again.
There are several myths involving sex and certain punishments from deities. But very few, if any, involve flat out rape in its earliest versions (Or rather, the earliest versions that we have a hold of). The main reason we focus on the rape ones are because those are either more interesting, or we get them from Ovid, who is a genuinely good poet, even if the Metamorphosis and its consequences have been a disaster for mythology writers.
Hell, certain Greek writers, such as Plato and Euripides, admit that they _don't_ believe tales of gods being petty or exhibiting human vices are actually real events. They would believe in Zeus the Arbiter and Poseidon the Lord of Earthquakes, rather than Zeus the Horndog and Poseidon the Rapist, because the former would probably make a lot more sense to worship.
Typical toxic relationship where the scorned spouse blames others for the cheating
She blamed the baby and tried to kill him in his crib. 😂😲😭😖
2 snakes should do it
@@Kruppt808 such an itchbay lol
she needs help she will be better
I couldn't help but burst out laughing at Zeus impregnating a woman via golden shower XD Also really liked seeing the Olympus version of the "distracted boyfriend" meme.
Zeus, the God of not understanding "No Means No."
That's where shape shifting no means no means no until you look like you just walked out of men's health catalog or occasionally a barnyard.
Alternative Title: The Times Hera got Savagely Pissed
I always loved the Greek mythology because they have a lot of good stories.
The mighty Zeus! God of lightning, storms, and one night stands!
Odin laughs at Zeus for being so..... mortal behaving
Be like me, lose an eye but gain wisdom😉
Well look at this way. Lightning never strikes twice lol usually!😂
Zeus: *Giggity*
A different god has the job of being the god of storms
Been looking forward to this one. Please keep up the great work, absolutely love your work. Take care, keep safe
Would'nt "The Sexual Assault Victims of Zeus" be a more accurate title?
I should think so.
i'm surprised zeus wasn't the god of libido
I laughed so hard and loud at that intro, freakin brilliant lol
Especially when the goose popped up 🤣
When it says this video is not sponsored by zeus, I question the accuracy of that statement
What broke in Zeus's brain to say "Hey - my daughter Persephone is well fittt...." 🙄😅
Many thanks for this upload! Keep up the amazing work!
Hades: They call me a recluse, but at least I don’t plow everything that moves.
“The moment sex ceases to be a servant, it becomes a tyrant.”
-G. K. Chesterton
So Zeus not only nailed 2 of his sisters ( Hera and Demeter) but also his daughter/neice Persephone?
Yeah, it's called recycling
You know how the rich stay rich, keep it in the family😂
Chris Tucker
And his aunts
The story of Zeus banging Persephone before Hades kidnapped her I believe is told by only one source and is not generally accepted.
The other of him disguising himself as Hades and going down to the underworld to have sex with Persephone is more likely a mistranslation and bs. Hades was often refer to as the Zeus of the Underworld, hence the bad translation. Also the Underworld was Hades's Kingdom and while Zeus was the overall High King he had no authority in the Underworld. It was know that Zeus and the other gods fear going down to the Underworld because of the fact that no one leaves the Underworld without Hades's permission, mortal or God.
Where's Ganymede, who gets an entire moon named after him and numerous works of art in various media to capture their homoerotic fling?
Compliments on the quality and the excellent narration! Very well done as always, an enjoyable watch...
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the upload!
This can certainly be a great idea for a series, I would have no doubt as there are so many stories I keep learning about Greek mythology
AH THE MEME IN THE THUMBNAIL!!
That intro, though…
A *golden shower* , sir stahp 😭
Also Zeus is a straight predator, King Predator to the gods.
Why is it when I hear or read the word "predator" I think of the Predator alien?
Side note, keep up the great work. Love all your videos
Does it really surprise you that Hera always gets so pissed?
I haven't even watched the first 5 minutes of this video and I already love this, I have laughed multiple times and just the whole vibe of this video.
Hah!! Really digging the intro, my friend! Especially the music! Got some vibes going on there, for sure! Lololol! Awesomely witty video! Rock on & peace out 😎🌍
Great lead into the ad. Great content keep it up!
Careful now, dont want the "me too" movement to erase zeus from history
He would pbly one night stand even the women who try to cancel him lol
This video made me fall in love with this channel all over again
You should have used a little Barry White Music🤣😂
Very appropriate for Zeus⚡👑⚡
Excellent video, well done.
Lovers/Victims
Great job as usual!
Zeus's love song at the start
I love this one so so much 💓 💗 thank you for this video. Stay well
i'd love to learn more about Zagrius, ever since playing the game Hades my interest n his story was peaked
Always good stuff, Thanks
Zeus is a forgiving god from greece, a wonderful father to Hercules, a grateful husband to hera and all mighty and powerful God of Mount Olympus⛈⚡⛰⚔
is that satire?
@@MinhNguyen-pk9qk yesn't
Okay, who gave Zeus access to the internet?
@@MinhNguyen-pk9qk i think they’re referring to Disney’s Zeus tbh
@@vanillakilla64 that makes more sense
Loved the JonTron meme in the beginning.
Classic.
ive been subscribed to your channel for awhile and watched most if not all your vids (or they are on my watch later list) and this one didnt pop up on my subscription list to watch.
The entry music is perfect and hilarious!😂
When hearing these stories I keep picturing Carl from ATHF but dressed as Zeus shouting, "Yeah TONIGHT!"
❤ all your video's mate 👍.
Loving this format lol
Thanks for the video
Hi dear M R soooo glad i'm back i must laugh you did it really special and it's something to laugh in this dark days,Congrats😘😁❤‼
That part at the end of the vid had me dying faster than Calisto lmao. Definitely cemented as my favorite mythology youtube channel now.
Wow it was actually pretty damn hilarious!!!!!! I know him to have funny moments and silly parts of videos but very rarely does he have a video that's funny from beginning to end!!
Can’t wait till we get to Aphrodite’s video.
The intro to this is awesome! 😂
great one, I love the parodic tone ^^
A TV show telling those tales could be pretty great in the right hands.
that what makes it fun its bizarre and ya know it was a religion
Love this good job.
This was a really fun video!
That thumbnail is *Glorious!*
And along came Zeus.
We all know Hera was the second choice he loves Athena's mother her name escape me.
Metis, he literally explained that at the start of the video mate
Dude watch the video from the beginning. Hera was zeus 7th wife
Zeus: "Hello, My name is Zeus, and i'm a sex addict".
Lol 🤣
I can't believe Zeus isn't cancelled yet!
He was considered father of the Greeks, so he had to accomplish that in some way, but Hera was always his eternal queen, all the others were intermissions.
This is amazing 👍👍😆😆😆😆Thank you ❤️😊😊
The Real Housewives of Olympus🤣😂😆 YOU KILLIN IT BRO!!!!!
Zeus is clapping some MAD CHEEKS!!!
7:12 If Nemesis' mother Nyx finds out about this incident, Zeus better find his place to hide because she will show him who's the boss
I must say, the thumbnail is great👍!
loved this format and the extra funny bits, great addition. Oh yeah, CHIKA CHIKAAAAA!
we do have a novel called Gods Behaving badly about the Olympians living in a flat in london
That thumbnail is incredible! 🤣
oookay. you freaking nailed it with this thumbnail 😂🤣
A really nice documentary.
Lady Hera truly deserves better.
She does.
I love your voice so much I just play your videos like some sort of asmr 🤣
Upvoted for the thumbnail. 👍
I loved that intro ❤️😂
Why is there this trope of Zeus being a good god with a good heart? It seems like he is the opposite.
Best intro from this channel 👏👏👏😂
The thumbnail is just *[chef's kiss]* perfection
Superb!
I once heard about some tracing a family tree of Greek gods and Demigods, and in that chart you had Zeus and a human woman having a demigod son, later the granddaughter of that guy catches Zeus’s eye so he has an affair with her, then a few more generations later he has an affair with his granddaughter of that union.
Bottom line in one family tree Zeus appears many times, generations apart. He is horny and immortal so that tends to happen.
That might be the single greatest thumbnail off all time
I lost it with the goose in the beginning 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The beginning got me xD
Odds of your dad being Zeus were pretty good back in the day. For all we know Dionysius mom lied and Zeus just bought it lol
Like Genghis Khan in Asia, 30% of the population? 😂 😂 😂 😂
@@Kruppt808 And he's STILL nothing compared to the dick-slinging Zeus!
Love the mythology! Can’t help but notice that Jerry Springer’s success has its roots in stories like this though LOL😂
This video presentation!!!! Was just too damn funny 🤣 😂 😆 😄 😭
