Olympian Gods of Ancient Greek Mythology

[killswitch489]

I have to laugh at peace96 saying these gods are imaginary.

[KelseyMM2]

I really love learning about mythology. I just saw Finding Joe, which is about the monomyth, the idea that there is a universal archetypal journey that heroes follow that is present in mythology, literature, and even film. It was really interesting to learn how similar all the stories are across various mythology! youth. be/QTVKmZZN39I

[ExRussian86]

These are special features from the movie Troy....

[peace96intheworld]

In ancient times, the Greeks of that time were trying to explain what was happening around them.., and in the nature. So they invented those imaginary gods and they had a total respect to them.!!

Στην αρχαιότητα, οι Έλληνες της εποχής προσπαθούσαν να εξηγήσουν τι συνέβαινε γύρω τους .., και στη φύση. Έτσι εφηύραν αυτους τους φανταστικούς θεούς και είχαν απόλυτο σεβασμό προς τους!!

[aldwin1213]

hades doesn't have a throne in olympus. He may be one of the major gods but he is not an olympian god.

[carexismn]

what about hades?

[ashtonSnapp]

I need one fact for each Olympian God.

[HistoryLover1550]

Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, Apollo and Hermes are my top faves :)

[ibesweetp2]

Apollo and Hermes FTW!

[Assin247]

WHAT ABOUT HERA HADES OR APHRODITE

[uniquenamexD]

Hades is a man who is mysterious in his ways..

he spent his time in the underworld...not in mount olympus...

technically hes an olympian but hes not around in mount olympus...

he is still an olympian....even he spent his time in the underworld...

[graygirl02]

I HATE ZEUS, HE IS GREEDY AND A MEAN PERSON OR GOD.

[BeepBros]

wait what happened to Hades god of the underworld

[GillianBabyy]

I love Greek mythology.

[Sarahluvsoccor]

I am personally a christian, but I absolutely love studying roman and Greek mythology, it's really interesting,

[christopherobones]

no hades?!



[HufflepuffPrince]

@christopherobones Hades wasn’t technically an Olympian because he spent most of his time in the underworld.

[classiclistener01]

@christopherobones - 'Sometimes' Hades isn't listed as an Olympian god!? And, 'sometimes' Dionysus isn't listed, either. I guess it depends on who makes the lists!?

[Mugurstar01]

this is mithologycal crap!!!!!

[geriblanche09]

you should like this if u read stories about greek mythology everytime you face ur computer

[MegaDash85]

I Love This Video. I love THe Story of The Greek Gods and Goddesses!

[xxphantomGxx]

All Gods and the Goddesses are powerful but Zeus is the Most Powerful of All!!!

[callmetaco3000]

Poseidon is the best!

[colleenlea166]

THE GREEKS

[thebigfooty]

what, no Kratos?

[HistoryLover1550]

@thebigfooty Kratos was a real mythological character, only he was a henchman of Zeus who bound the titan Prometheus.

[buzzler745555]

you know, when i was searching greek gods, i accidentally put "freek gods"

[darrencriss1234]

Zeus needs to keep it in his pants;)and not have sex with anything that slightly resembles a woman:)

[dioioego]

@darrencriss1234 Zeus is one of my Gods, you should respect other's people belief

[AcePentacle]

btw dionysus is the best

[Drbolla345]

Come on, Zeus is a motherfucking badass. He got to fuck chicks as a swan, bear, bull, and raped a group of women as a misty cloud. Only a god so epic would think of something like that. It's like he invented trolling. He got so bored with sex, he started humping chicks in animal forms.

[AcePentacle]

how can i download this?both male and females documentary

[ismrockhard]

Dude apollo and posieden(sorry i spelled his name wrong)

[ajwadsabano]

Hercules?

[AcePentacle]

@ajwadsabano hercules was a demigod, "The name Hercules means HeraΥs Glory"

[ajwadsabano]

What about Aphrodite and Hades and Athena?

[Drbolla345]

@ajwadsabano This video is about the male Gods, so the females aren't included. There is a separate video that talks about Athena and Aphrodite. And the Gods mentioned here are the ones who are involved in the Trojan War. Apparently, Hades had nothing to do with the war of Troy, he stayed out of it. I guess he was too busy counting the souls of the dead who were dying in the Trojan war to get involved. Trust me there is many other Greek Gods not mentioned besides Hades

[SuperD654]

Yo it's poseidon all the way I mean if he rules all the ocean the ocean makes up three fourths of the world yes the sky is everywhere but you know what zeus is a big dumb pussy if you really think about it plus the " gods " are not even real there is only one real God

[LockeGr]

Ares wasgod of war. but ancient Greeks didnt persieve war as ppl do now. thats why Ares was representing not the bad way of the war but the good way. for example war to defend your country and your famelies, to protect the enosent and corect the wrong. nothing like it is shown here. stupid mongols should read some history befor they speak of ancient Greece.

[66greedo]

what about athena

[robocopftw1]

oh and btw this video is wrong...i saw many flaws but one that stood out to me the most was the narrator saying Hephaestus was thrown down to earth(by Zeus)crippling him.The actual legend behind it is Hera held him as a baby and was so disgusted with his crippled legs she threw him off Mount Olympus.Get your facts right first buddy...

[RadioPops]

@robocopftw1 Actually, You're both right! Just like with any mythology there is no one definitive version. Because the story is told by so many different people over so long a period of time, there are many variations of the stories and legends.

[shadowknights2000]

m i came from percy jackson

[OutsidersMCPres17]

i like all the gods

[knr817]

My favorite God is Poseidon

thumbs up if he's your favorite too :)

[Magyar126]

@knr817 everyone like sposeidon but not aquaman, wtf?

[robocopftw1]

@Magyar126 IKR!?

[3perfecttones]

great myth!

[FantasticFootballHD]

Hephaestus & Hermes overall.

[Tarikace15]

Zeuses master lightning bolt is the most powerful weapon ever built so Zeus is the rightful king of Greek Gods.

[elmehdi488]

this is a joke there is no such thing than the gods there is one god

[StandNTrade]

@elmehdi488 idiot

[42upupandaway]

@elmehdi488 Careful, Zeus doesn't like people saying that. I'd be wary of thunderstorms for a while if I were you...

[bluemonkey581]

apollo all the way also a fan of poseidon and zeus

[halfvampiregirl100]

I thought the cadasius was an alchemic symbol? Or was it adopted from Greece as one?

[BrendanKAC]

what dvd is this from ive seen it before

[zepwolfx]

WTF!? What about Hades!?

[FantasticFootballHD]

@zepwolfx He wasn't one of the Twelve Olympians, sadly. He is often in the bracket, but, he wasn't officially. I think it may be because his abode was not Mount Olympus, but then again, neither was a few of the Gods. He would of been interesting to hear about in this.

[danmanviolinist97]

@zepwolfx he didnt exactly live in olympus

[MrAwesomo10]

@zepwolfx hades wasnt allowed in olympus

[tggarrison3]

@zepwolfx Hades wasnt an Olympian god. He was not idolized b/c no Greek ever wanted to meet him.

[bortelliM]

The Greatest SCIENTIFIC Explanation. The SPIRIT Lives! HEAVENLY FATHER HAS APPEARED AND HE WALKS AMONG US. Only the Creator Himself can reveal His vision as His own.

Watch and rejoice…this is Real !! Yes, it is He ! @  La Parola In Cuatro. (He even looks like ZEUS !!) + I’ve enjoyed your video

[MsSkodge]

I love Hephaestus' story.

[MegaRKM]

Does anyone know where the original video came from???? Please help!

[tggarrison3]

@MegaRKM I found it at fanpop.com.

I have seen it as an interactive website before, but cannot remember where

[tggarrison3]

@MegaRKM I keep trying to paste the link but it wont let me. just search greek mythology and videos within the site and it should come up

[ToXxiiNz]

I so wish i was Greek...

[classicalmusic220]

go Zeus!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RaphaelTheArc]

Wait, what about Hades?

[vadganem]

Most people are unaware that Greek religion evolved over time from hard polytheism to monism: all is derived from an absolute principle of unity and goodness, namely the One. The Greeks came to this realization through the perennial question of which came first, the One or the Many? "It is by the one that all beings are beings... For what could anything be if it was not one? For if things are deprived of the one which is predicated of them, they are not those things." (Plotinus)

[vadganem]

(3) There are others yet, who take Zeus to be the Sun, commanding the whole universe. Hestia is the Zodiacal sign in which the Sun resides, while the other 11 gods are the other 11 signs, who are assisting him in his work of creation.

[vadganem]

There was much debate among the ancients as to the identity of Zeus and the other 11 gods: (1) Some take them to be the 12 spheres of the cosmos, the sphere of the fixed stars, the 7 planetary spheres, and the spheres of the 4 elements (below the Moon). Zeus would then be the sphere of the fixed stars and Hestia would be the earth. (2) Others take them as the souls of all these spheres. Others again, as the intellects presiding over the souls.

[FlammableMonkeys]

doing school projects like a boss

[02Jc19]

hephaestus appearance doesn't matter :))

[DarkAngel100101]

Hades, my favorite god!!!!! he is cool!!!!!

[WhitePortrait]

What a great mythology we have!

[shaneclone15]

Yeah this is way better than christianity!!

[franny1431321]

OMG

[juv500]

OK most ppl think their is one god i think this is more logical 12 main god and tons of minor gods i in the greek gods more than the one god

[RadioPops]

@juv500 Ha I've always agreed. Even though I don't believe in any gods, having more than one god seems a heck of a lot more practical than one all-seeing god.

[Xautia]

APOLLO AND POSEIDON FTW

[Bullettear666]

civilization voice?

[DrSLeepOnCouches]

Hera was the one who cast Hepaestus down the mountain

[XoSasukoxLoveroX]

Hermes~ <3 :)

[alicianursemurray]

[nebraska675]

[MegaNaruto9tails]

[superzaid1995]

[jzbp2010]

My favorite is zues king of the gods

[christiewful]

hades is cool apollo is hot artemis i want to be i like hunting

[MoonlightPlaylist]

Where was Hades!?!

[antinimel]

@MoonlightPlaylist In Greek mythology, Hades was more known as Plouton.Hades mostly referred to the place dead souls went (something like hell).Plouton, was Poseidon's and Zeus' oldest brother and the lord of the Underworld. The twelve gods of Olympus were not always the same, the most common being Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Dionysus, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite and Artemis. Some other times ther was Hestia and Hades who replaced other gods.Hope this clears it!

[MoonlightPlaylist]

@antinimel I understand, because he did not live on Mount Olympus he usually is not included, I'm more complaining, haha thanks!

[antinimel]

@MoonlightPlaylist No prob! Although,I don't really like him myshelf... He's scary in almost every story you hear about him. But I guess thats not really a bad thing! He is the god of the Underworld after all.

[MoonlightPlaylist]

@antinimel Well being a female, he is the least creepy, compared to his brothers...

[juv500]

@antinimel well hades in the roman name was pluto not plouton

[antinimel]

@juv500 As I said, in Greek his name is Plouton (Πλούτων-ας), I wasn't talking about his Latin name.Like Zeus' real name is actually Dias (Δίας) in ancient and modern Greek. Later, when the Romans adopted the Greek gods as their own, they obviously changed a few things to suit their needs and language.

[robertlam18]

If you are a fag thumb up

[FireFlamesrocks]

Αυτό είναι αρκετά ενδιαφέρουσα. IM αγγλικά αλλά μελέτη Ελληνικά. hmmm.

[newnoob2009]

@LordWolfgang1000 NO LIGHTNING BEATS WATER!!! :d :o

[tvtp07]

woah, this guy narrated medal of honor

[HARISHROSHAN]

I have a doubt someone said to me that HERCULES is a fiction then why does it involves familiar greek gods? Coz none use to write fictional stories on gods.

[RedemptiveIRage]

@greeceforeva The Game: God Of War.

[thejoebob132]

[deedledo12]

@thejoebob132 hes not one of the 12. he kinda got kicked out

[RedemptiveIRage]

God of War anyone?

[Athrunwong]

Ares is no more god of war.....it is Kratos.....who walks among the Gods.....

But seriously....The Greek Gods are assholes....

[0KAIndigo0]

I like greem mythology but I think I like Norse and Egyptian more

[RedEyesBlackKnight]

He forgot the part were all the gods get their asses handed to them by Kratos.

[QuietGuitaristfan]

I like Norse mythology better because the Greek gods are assholes

[julietgirl101]

Like this if u got here by Percy Jackson

[Anon18]

@The532dd

Actually, initially they had. I believe that since Hephaestus was born, he was the one who took over the craft and did it himself, seeing as at the time he grew up he trained to be a craftsman and a smith with the Titans.

[lifeBURNER12]

kratos is a titan slayer...no one was saved

[iDoominic]

Watch the movie troy? i truly relate to this video
