I think its humorous that Greeks and Romans back in the early centuries thought there was more than one God. They thought that there was a God and/or Goddess for everything. I'm just thankful that they finally realize that the truth is there is only ONE God and that is God himself. I'm thankful that they came to see the light and realize that not all ancient beliefs are based on truth.
history channel is extermly dumb they think the cyclopes gave zeus the power of lightning he was born with it and hera wasnt his sister she was a mortal who became o god they did have two children appolo and ares oh and zeus had a master bolt
@richard27412, the Cyclopes did reward Zeus the power of lightning and Poseidon the trident and Hades the helmet of invisibility after Zeus released them, along with other children of Gaia, from Tartarus. Hera was the sister and wife of Zeus. Apollo (twin brother of Artemis) is the son of Zeus and Leto (daughter of the titans Phoebe and Coeus). Ares was said to be either son of Zeus and Hera or just Hera alone (it's been suggested that she became jealous after the birth of Athena).
I understand why the History channel tries to tie in Christianity to Greek myths but they simply did a very lousy job, confusing everyone and making the connections very weak. They simply should of stuck to just the myths themselves as they are excellent for reading and fascinating. They Odyssey definitely being the greatest myth ever told.
All the video starts cool-until it reaches the Jesus part. Ridiculous! Not to mention juvenile & unprofessional. Just because they're Christians, does not mean they should do a HISTORY documentary on GREEK DEITIES, then proceed to belittle the religion & inject inaccurate propaganda. This only shine a negative light on Christianity. I'm glad I got to watch this here-now I know to never take history.com seriously or consider it trustworthy. When I see it on TV, I know it's time to switch channel.
It's a little odd. In the other parts of this series they seem to be against Christianity suggesting that it was copied from Greek mythology. I don't really mind them talking about Christianity in a piece about Greek gods because they are related topics, but they could have segued it into the discussion better and made what they were trying to say more clear.
@StuartMason09 This one's actually light on Christianity side. Try watching the Hades & Thor ones - things starts getting very obvious. Essentially, they say all Gods are just low level appetizer before Jesus come - and history.com twist facts to do so. Ending of Hades's a joke while the Thor's just plain incorrect. While the connection is fascinating, the way history.com twist information is sick & their tone is VERY bias in the Hades & Thor ones. It become an obvious propaganda.
I didn't know they did ones for the Norse gods, but at the end of the Hercules episode they appear to hint that Jesus' story drew from Hercules', surprisingly enough. I'll have to check the Thor one out.
@StuartMason09 Oh, I watched Hercules too. That one's pretty clean, but the burning... the known version is that his wife, tricked by a centaur, applied a toxic blood on his robes, and it burnt his skin until he dies - he wanted to live. I don't think Jesus's self-sacrificing death was drew from Hercules. I think his crucifixion is historical fact.
If you watch Thor, to clear the confusion, Ragnarok is a prophecy of future & some Norse deities is said to survive it.
Instead of studying for my Greek creation myth test tomorrow, I'm watching this video and will probably do just fine. And that's how you get by in college without buying textbooks!
ive seen in most these documentaries Jesus comes in at the end and overtakes the main character. this is bullshit linking the two and make one superior, just because more people are into Christianity and that also because the people who made this are Christians.
His father wasn't much of a god if he didn't know the difference between a stone and a baby. He also didn't know where his son was. Who would want a god that doesn't know his but from a hole in the ground.
I love how they say "to us, it's a myth" and then "what the book of Genesis is to our world." Some of "us" are Hellenic Polytheists, and happen to believe in Zeus and the other Gods and Goddesses of the pantheon, not The Bible. No offence to Christians, but if you're producing a scholarly video, don't assume that the audience will follow one faith or that said faith is superior.
History Channel wasn't getting off topic, comparative mythology is a huge field in mythology studies. Christianity did usurp old religions and they mention it briefly at the end, that's hardly getting off topic. It's concluding the end of the time of Zeus worship.
@RushBeatles they could just as well brought the sumerian flood into this, and i bet the japs have something about flood too, why not bring that up as well
U believers of Zeus gotta be joking, you worship someone who has sexual desires, likes revenge, are afraid of people taking over him? Oh my goodness, this is the joke of the century
In spanish jesus is pronounced Hay zeus which means hale Zeus. The name jesus is not hebrew at at all its part greek latin and english. The Mesiah's name is Hebrew.
Well im tired of Holywood BS, that it just can't swallow greatness without any caucasian trait in it. So because they are gods they must have blue or green eyes, yep. Just put them like they are today, not the mixed but the countrymen, they are brown, thick and short! What's wrong with that?! Ooooh! to "uncivilized" for the public eye?! Let me stop here, im about to begin coursing.
Well holy fuck! Does my previous comment prove that I saw the agenda coming? Noahs flood? Thanks uploader but, this series can gtfo. From the get go this entire program had the vile stench of a Christian dogmatic under current.

@sagitarian000028 The history channel is very liberal and anti-christian. They have a motive for the constant mention of Jesus and Christianity. They lower the deity of Jesus by comparing him and the Christian roots to that of greek gods and other myths. Here come the Atheists saying Jesus is a myth as well and all gods are the same. LOL - There is no other God besides Jesus Christ.
@mnqueita09 Do your history trace the name Jesus and see for yourself that it is not the name of he Son of Yahuwah. I beleived in Jesus all my life as a christian. Bu the father is bringing His children back to truth!!!
@mnqueita09 you have just made fun of your self. just read what you wrote you bloke. you just keep reading your fairy tale book called the bible, by the way i like peter pan but i don't believe in neverland hahaha
@sagitarian000028 It's social commentary on christianity, the popular religion today. If greek mythology seems ridiculous to us today, but believed by ancient greeks, how is our modern day religious beliefs not as ridiculous?
@sagitarian000028 Zeus isnt Jesus. Zeus is Teshub the head deity worshipped amongst the whole indo-european and Caucasus peoples.
Sabazeus,Zeus,Jupiter, Jupater is the biblical Japhet. The ancestor and the father of Indo-europeans and Caucasians.
I dont know why the user is deleting my comment maybe because too nationalist and doesnt like how Zeus isnt just Greek but more old than it as (Teshub).
@joejoe45ful Zeus Poseidon and Hades were really thought to be sort of equal. Hades was just pissed because out of the three things to rule over he had to choose last, left with the underworld, which is merely not exciting as the sky and ocean. Poseidon was really the greatest, because back then the sky wasn't really used nearly as much as the seas were; especially to the Greeks, who were all about the coasts and their giant navy fleets.
@Volcanic9 yeah but zeus was much more powerful than them bcuz he used his powers of thunder to install fear and zeus was still king and poseidon wasnt so yeah poseidon was always second to zeus
@joejoe45ful it was the same simple thinking that lead Zeus to foolishly choose the domain of sky over sea, as well predicted by Poseidon. You see he knew that Zeus may be able to kill one man at a time with his bolts, but will never have the devastating power of the tsunami, nor the ability to instill fear of an angry ocean into the hearts of a coastal economy. Zeus is king only in a figurehead sense, gods still do as they please -Zeus may kill your friend, but Poseidon will erase your nation.
@Volcanic9 actually zeus doesnt have the power of a wregular lightning bolt he can concentrate many into one that can equal the power of many many suns and can destroy the world if he wanted to but simply he doesnt i dont like zeus at all its just that heis more powerful
@joejoe45ful yes, thank you for clarifying that fact. Except, in the condition that he did not want to rule over the world, he would remain unable to destroy it alone, as earth itself is again, Gaia, and a god of it's own, not just a giant rock.
@Volcanic9 well isnt uranus the sky and zeus rules that right well gaia doesnt seem to be any younger than uranus or less powerful and zeus has more than enough power to destroy the world but he just doesnt want to
Zeus is more powerful than Gaia. In the myths Zeus chose a flood to kill mankind instead of his thunderbolts for fear that if he unleashed his power in anger he would not only destroy Earth but might accidently destroy the heavens as well. It's been suggested that Zeus is more powerful than all of the Olympians combined.
The great flood they talk about in here is similar to the biblical one but in the biblical one there were 8 survivors. Noah and his wife and his three sons and their wives.
well jesus in the bible is noted for saying That satans throne was in pergamos which if you look online at ancient maps you will see pergamos is what scholars now call Mt. Olympus. It was the area of land between Cyprus and Mycenae. And if you look into greek lore zeus and his gods had sex with and even raped women. Their babies where giants who where powerful beyond normal means aka demigods. The Sumerians said giants with unmatched strength where on the earth in those days.
@allrightsreserved88 mmm, in all of my [purely academic] study of the bible, ive never seen anything like that. if you would link that passage to me i would greatly appreciate it :) the giants mentioned in the bible are not said to be from "fallen ones." they are just from "sons of god." god being the creator in christian mythology, uranos being the creator of greek mythology, angels being sons of god, and the gods being children of uranos. if anything the gods and angels are the same things.
And it is further wrote that these giants with extraordinary power were the direct offspring of the gods and mortal women. These giants where the breeding offspring of what the book of genesis and the Talmud call the Nephelim. The nephelim in hebrew means "the fallen ones". When god cast satan out of heaven it was wrote that he took with him angels to make his army. And where he landed was written in every religious and historical text as On earth. So the parallels between not just jesus but
Respond to this video... Almost all historic, esoteric, ritualistic and medeval writings point that satan fell from grace or gods kingdom, landed on earth, taught men science and magic, fucked our women, gave birth to giants, aka hercules and gilgamesh, and so on and so forth so these parallels show me he and his gods who did immoral things like rape, and cause war amongst man was truly satan and not the creator of us humans.
Respond to this video... And if you look into geological history it shows us that there was a giant flood after the last ice age. This flood is documented in every single religious scripture not just the holy bible so people dont think im pushing christianity im merely stating what ive researched. This flood was supposedly the flood noah built his ark for to survive. This flood was sent BY GOD to wipe these immoral giants off of the earth. It said god grew tired of their immoral nature
Respond to this video... So my guess is if you truly want to know what the face and body and stature of lucifer aka satan looks like google the statue of Zeus that still stands today in greece. He was a good looking and physically fit dude but none the less evil as evil could be. And if you do look up the statue look at his staff which is where his power of lightning or light came from it is the same staff held by the egyptian sun god ra and the norse god odin. They are all the same
Respond to this video... this rod was his staff of power and dominion over all man and all other gods it is translated as where the light comes from or the bringer of light. The word lucifer is binded into the word Illuminati and means the holders of light. Which is an ancient Sumerian ritual which can be traced back to adam and eve and the garden of Eden and even more lucifer bringing adam and eve light and knowledge from the tree of knowledge. Its all to coincidental to not be related
@allrightsreserved88 you are writing too much for me to respond. i think that you should know that you are not talking to a christian, and i know about the flood, and the similarities between different religions. however i also know that many of the deities that you are listing to me such as ra or zeus GREATLY inspired the abrahamic religions. i have to go, blessed be!
excellent documentation. the best iv seen so far. but ummmm 1 suggestion. the gods are suppose to be the most beautiful creatures. would it had killed them to use more handsome actors?? lol j\k.
Kristina Milnor.. your voice and appearance is the equivalence of being in hell. Actually quite worse.. there is tartarus.. then below that you are locked in a room with Kristina Milnor.
@JasonFrameDungeon I agree that Milnor's voice is annoying, but nevertheless, she's just as intelligent as any of the men speaking in this documentary, so please stow that unoriginal sexist remark/attitude and try sticking to the humor displayed in your second comment on here, which I actually found to be quite hilarious. ;D
It's not "Zoos", but "Zeh-oos", accent in the last syllable. Strange; those at History Channel have all the means to find out how is it really pronounced. And Zeus wasn't "dethroned" by Jesus... people just stopped believing in Him. The documentary is pretty good, but has some dubious details, sorry.
@agormanvideos i know, these stupid people think that they have to include ALL religions in these documentaries so they dont offend anyone. just keep mythologies separate and treat them as that. lol
This was a fabulous show. A shame I am already talking about it in past tense. It should still be on, but History Channel has opted for shows with Larry the cable guy. Dumbasses at HC don't realize when they have gold on they're hands.

Poseidon was really the greatest, because back then the sky wasn't really used nearly as much as the seas were; especially to the Greeks, who were all about the coasts and their giant navy fleets.

@Volcanic9 yeah but zeus was much more powerful than them bcuz he used his powers of thunder to install fear and zeus was still king and poseidon wasnt so yeah poseidon was always second to zeus
joejoe45ful 4 months ago
@joejoe45ful it was the same simple thinking that lead Zeus to foolishly choose the domain of sky over sea, as well predicted by Poseidon. You see he knew that Zeus may be able to kill one man at a time with his bolts, but will never have the devastating power of the tsunami, nor the ability to instill fear of an angry ocean into the hearts of a coastal economy. Zeus is king only in a figurehead sense, gods still do as they please -Zeus may kill your friend, but Poseidon will erase your nation.

@Volcanic9 Zeus will rape everyone in your nation. Poseidon will drown your ships. Either way, it's still a bad day.

@Volcanic9 actually zeus doesnt have the power of a wregular lightning bolt he can concentrate many into one that can equal the power of many many suns and can destroy the world if he wanted to but simply he doesnt i dont like zeus at all its just that heis more powerful
joejoe45ful 4 months ago
@joejoe45ful Wrong. Zeus can never destroy the world because it is ruled by Gaia; that's why neither of the three have control over the ground.
Volcanic9 4 months ago
@Volcanic9 zeus wants to rule and control the world that is why he never destroyed it
joejoe45ful 4 months ago
@joejoe45ful yes, thank you for clarifying that fact. Except, in the condition that he did not want to rule over the world, he would remain unable to destroy it alone, as earth itself is again, Gaia, and a god of it's own, not just a giant rock.
Volcanic9 4 months ago
@Volcanic9 well isnt uranus the sky and zeus rules that right well gaia doesnt seem to be any younger than uranus or less powerful and zeus has more than enough power to destroy the world but he just doesnt want to
joejoe45ful 4 months ago
@Volcanic9
Zeus is more powerful than Gaia. In the myths Zeus chose a flood to kill mankind instead of his thunderbolts for fear that if he unleashed his power in anger he would not only destroy Earth but might accidently destroy the heavens as well. It's been suggested that Zeus is more powerful than all of the Olympians combined.

@RedDragon033195
well jesus in the bible is noted for saying That satans throne was in pergamos which if you look online at ancient maps you will see pergamos is what scholars now call Mt. Olympus. It was the area of land between Cyprus and Mycenae. And if you look into greek lore zeus and his gods had sex with and even raped women. Their babies where giants who where powerful beyond normal means aka demigods. The Sumerians said giants with unmatched strength where on the earth in those days.
allrightsreserved88 5 months ago
@allrightsreserved88 mmm, in all of my [purely academic] study of the bible, ive never seen anything like that. if you would link that passage to me i would greatly appreciate it :) the giants mentioned in the bible are not said to be from "fallen ones." they are just from "sons of god." god being the creator in christian mythology, uranos being the creator of greek mythology, angels being sons of god, and the gods being children of uranos. if anything the gods and angels are the same things.
RedDragon033195 5 months ago
And it is further wrote that these giants with extraordinary power were the direct offspring of the gods and mortal women. These giants where the breeding offspring of what the book of genesis and the Talmud call the Nephelim. The nephelim in hebrew means "the fallen ones". When god cast satan out of heaven it was wrote that he took with him angels to make his army. And where he landed was written in every religious and historical text as On earth. So the parallels between not just jesus but
allrightsreserved88 5 months ago
Respond to this video... Almost all historic, esoteric, ritualistic and medeval writings point that satan fell from grace or gods kingdom, landed on earth, taught men science and magic, fucked our women, gave birth to giants, aka hercules and gilgamesh, and so on and so forth so these parallels show me he and his gods who did immoral things like rape, and cause war amongst man was truly satan and not the creator of us humans.
allrightsreserved88 5 months ago
Respond to this video... And if you look into geological history it shows us that there was a giant flood after the last ice age. This flood is documented in every single religious scripture not just the holy bible so people dont think im pushing christianity im merely stating what ive researched. This flood was supposedly the flood noah built his ark for to survive. This flood was sent BY GOD to wipe these immoral giants off of the earth. It said god grew tired of their immoral nature
allrightsreserved88 5 months ago
Respond to this video... So my guess is if you truly want to know what the face and body and stature of lucifer aka satan looks like google the statue of Zeus that still stands today in greece. He was a good looking and physically fit dude but none the less evil as evil could be. And if you do look up the statue look at his staff which is where his power of lightning or light came from it is the same staff held by the egyptian sun god ra and the norse god odin. They are all the same
allrightsreserved88 5 months ago
Respond to this video... this rod was his staff of power and dominion over all man and all other gods it is translated as where the light comes from or the bringer of light. The word lucifer is binded into the word Illuminati and means the holders of light. Which is an ancient Sumerian ritual which can be traced back to adam and eve and the garden of Eden and even more lucifer bringing adam and eve light and knowledge from the tree of knowledge. Its all to coincidental to not be related
allrightsreserved88 5 months ago
@allrightsreserved88 you are writing too much for me to respond. i think that you should know that you are not talking to a christian, and i know about the flood, and the similarities between different religions. however i also know that many of the deities that you are listing to me such as ra or zeus GREATLY inspired the abrahamic religions. i have to go, blessed be!

It's not "Zoos", but "Zeh-oos", accent in the last syllable. Strange; those at History Channel have all the means to find out how is it really pronounced. And Zeus wasn't "dethroned" by Jesus... people just stopped believing in Him. The documentary is pretty good, but has some dubious details, sorry.
