To those confused, the video had to be made again because apparently Zeus has impregnated 374 mortal women since the previous video.

Greek mythology is just one of the most interesting topics. It never ceases to amaze me.

"that family tree must be a disney movie because damn it's Tangled." -my brother

also as far as I'm concerned there's no solid "canon" to mythology, all versions are just as valid

I find it interesting how when Gaia married her son, deformed monsters were created

Greek Mythology explained in five words:

"And then along came Zeus!"

[tensevo]

This is so well presented. I respect the work that has gone into this to try and make it as accurate as mythology can be.

i remember reading Percy Jackson the first time and wanting to understand the Greek Mythology family drama, and said this to myself "if i can understand the Kardashian's family tree, i CAN get this"

[nameslesss]

Everyone talks about zues marrying his sister but no one talks about Gaia marrying her son

In 3019 archaeologists will make charts like "The Internet was the father of Google. Google kidnap Youtube. Apple gave birth to iOS."

Styx and Pallas are the proudest parents, they raised the star of an amazing video game franchise and a successful shoe company.

I think it is worth mentioning (and possibly editing) that Hermes also is, in some ways, a death god. If I remember correctly, Thanatos actually deals with your death, Hermes transports your soul to the underworld, and Hades is the "Warden" so to speak.

It is also worth mentioning that, just like Aphrodite, in some myths about Dionysus, he has existed for long before all the other gods, and is another sort of primordial being of indeterminate birth.
