The Greek Gods (1 of 4)

[weworld2]

I think that the ONLY major difference between greek gods and christianity is that greek's was more entertaining.

[spartan231490]

I like how any religion that isn't yours automatically becomes a "cult."

nice

[MinecraftVideos4Ev3r]

zeus, poseidon and hades are greek gods but apollo and others are roman gods.

[spawnage99]

@MinecraftVideos4Ev3r -_- no, they have there own, similar but different.

[NavaeraGreenleaf88]

@MinecraftVideos4Ev3r Apollo was originally a Greek God!

[spartan231490]

@NavaeraGreenleaf88 correct. Wasn't the roman version of apollo called helios?

[weworld2]

@spartan231490 No Helios was Greek God of the Sun...actually Helios didn't exist in Rome and his powers were given to Roman version of Apollo.

[albanian288]

illyrian (albanian) gods aferdita ( afer-close dita-day), ares (ara-field) eros (era-wind) etc etc modern greeks has nothink to do with ancient helenes. fake is a fake

[DoelGr]

@albanian288 ancient helenes have nothing to do with modern greeks?and u say illyrian is the ancient albanian?dude get a grip on your self we still call our selfs hellenes foreign people call us greeks,illyria was influenced by greek civilitation,greek letters and words are almost the same up to this day,so please siptari go learn some history and stop behaving with this minor complex of yours,every animal in the balkans thinks that it is superior,maybe illyria is not albania...

[G0o5eBuMpSFan]

@OAfricano9

Kratos,Nike,Bia,Zelus were also justifiers of Zues

[jose1005510]

hermes is my favboret god tumb up if u like him best too

[OAfricano9]

They used to immortals, but then came Kratos...

[HwangJungKeun]

@OAfricano9 Hades is just a video game character. He is NEVER EVER mentioned in any Greek or Roman Mythological books.

[TheKrottyKid]

@HwangJungKeun Sorry Hwang, you're completely wrong. Hades is the brother of Zeus and Poseidon, and he appears in lots of Greek myths. He kidnapped Persephone and took her to be the Queen of the Underworld. He loaned Cerberus, his three-headed guard dog to Hercules so he could complete his twelth labour. Before you make comments about what is or isn't in books about mythology you should try reading one.

[HwangJungKeun]

@TheKrottyKid What I mean there is Kratos. Lol. I mean, Kratos didn't really attempted to overthrown the gods did he?

[OAfricano9]

@HwangJungKeun Think you mean Kratos... But you are wrong, Kratos was the son of Pallas and Styx. He was brother of Nike, Bia and Zelus, and his name means strength.

[HwangJungKeun]

@OAfricano9 Lol. I haven't seen his name on my Greek Myth books. Lol. Maybe giving me an idea of what book/article his name was mentioned? =)

[superclaw900]

[ilovesnsdshinee]

I really find Greek Mythology fascinating:)

But,to be honest,Zeus is not setting a good and honourable model to mankind.

He cheats on woman,perform terrifying curses to man and more.

Zeus is very sinful to me,which is not good.

[deathgaze05]

@ilovesnsdshinee Not really if u think about it what is really wrong and right???before they use to think that its ok to cheat for men but woman has to be faithful but now same rules doesn't apply so from ancient times Zeus is not sinful. don't forget that ancient people actually believe in Greek mythology.

[TheCurx]

:O.... I live in wellesley. That's the professor at my town college.

[DarkCMusic]

Αθάνατο Ελληνικό πνεύμα!

[Games2view]

This really helps us explain the reason for seasons doesn't it? From the Ancient Roman point of view.

[Aristadoe]

Come on people do you actually believe this really happened? It was purely made up for entertainment purposes Fairly Tales.

[527matt]

@Aristadoe i know right i like it for entertainment i was shocked when i found out people actually beleive they were real

[arkbishopbonkerboy]

@527matt that's what they'll say about religions from now in a few thousand years

[CorRomeister]

@Aristadoe So was the bible, and the quran

[checkthismuthafucka]

don't u just hate when people call ancient cultures cults

[MKISMK1913]

The Greek desire to find Greek equivalent God with other people's deities. Pan, Poseidon, Asiris, Hera, Hestia, Themis, Dioscuri have no Greek origin and are not "Greek" Gods, but they all have a Greek equivalent. Besides, aren't all Greek Gods in fact Egyptian Gods? Didn't Herodotus state that? (Hdt.2. 50 (schedon de kai panton ta aunomata to theon ex Aiguptou eleluthe es ten Hellada).

[R3dro0st3R]

@MKISMK1913 schedon de kai panton ta aunomata to theon ex Aiguptou eleluthe es ten Hellada).do you know wat that means??(eleuthe es tin ellada)??

Eleuseos means "the coming so that means the egyptian gods are from hellas..and ther is more ...All of the religions of the world are of ancient Hellenic

[Cinqmil]

Haha, before blood- and DNA tests women could claim they were impregnated by a god. Brilliant.

[2return2]

They are not gods, they are just supreme human. 

[TheIceWolfShadow]

@2return2 well if the Greek people worshipped them then yes they are considered gods just like the other tons of religiouns and gods.

[IceColdChocolateMilk]

hazle eyes gods

[annastesia67]

greek mythology has twisted the church of Jesus and His apostles. it was a fake to confuse the bible.

[IWouldWin]

@annastesia67 greek mythology is at least a thousand years older than christianity.....and the stories of Genesis, Noah, Adam & Eve and many others are translations of Sumerian texts from 4 to 5 thousand years ago, long before Jesus and God

[semibabacha]

@annastesia67 LOL....greek myhtology apear thousand year before bible.leran history..!

[BowlofIndoMee]

zeus > jesus

[TheAxmet]

[nappa666]

[callmetaco3000]

Poseidon is boss!

[robertdudley1000]

history, faith & believe !

[Metalicalypse]

Zeus is the ancestor of the indo-european people. Jupiter as Ju-pater=Father, and as Japhet in the bible. just Greeks added tales myths and stories.

Also Greeks took many things from the East. Hittites Hurrians Sumerians Urartians etc..

Sumerians/Hurrians later Hittites and others had Schools mathematicians while Greeks were living in huts... While Hurrians and other peoples were worshipping Zeus before Greeks in the name of (Teshub) The storm & weather god!

Thumbs up so everyone could read!

[FlashVirus]

@Metalicalypse

And don't forget these great eastern civilizations were also Indo-Europeans, like the Greeks, such as the Hittites & the Persians.

[Metalicalypse]

@FlashVirus Non-indo europeans included such as the Sumerians and other unknown civilizations :P

[SLAYERIZE3618]

@Metalicalypse Zeus is a Greek name and Plato wrote that Dias Zeus (Δίας Ζευς) means "the one who gives life". What is all this bulls...it stuff about Sumerians? If Sumerians were so great as you say, then why all the glory gone to Greece? Why Sumerians are only known between Sumerians and Greece known all over the world? What is Sumeria in the first place? Dust in our fingernails!

[ValentineLilianna]

@Metalicalypse Jupiter is simply a name that was given afterwards as a translation to the original greek name of the god, the Greek name is Dias=Δίας or Ζευξ.

Even if you were right your comment about huts shows you just wanna spread hate. We should love and respect every country and civilization, they all gave so much to us.

[4drftg7hyu8jyitt7id]

my speciality is mythology from egyptian roman and greek. especially greek

[HistoryLover1550]

I LOVE Greek Mythology. For fellow myth lovers, check out my fanfic "Perseus; Champion of the Gods" for the COTT remake, it follows the true story more. Hope you enjoy it!

[mrsqueak74]

FALLEN ANGELS! DONT WORSHIP THE PAGANT GODS. YOU SHOULD HAVE NO OTHER GOD BUT THE ONE AND TRUE GOD. THE GODS OF GODS. BE NOT DECEIVED, SATAN WILL FOOL THE ENTIRE WORLD.

[StuartMason09]

@mrsqueak74

Are you saying you shouldn't learn about past cultures out of fear of angering God?

[18rjos]

@NKFraley

Apparently in Greece being a virgin ment being unmarried

[7lissrbe7]

if you like greek mytholegy you should read percy jackson! its got all the facts straight and its an exelent series! percy jackson is the reason i got interested in this stuff, i did not even kow what the gods wher b4 i read percy jackson.

[NKFraley]

@7lissrbe7 percy jackson is a good series but it didn't get all the facts straight, i mean one of the main characters is the daughter of Athena, Athena is a VIRGIN goddess.

[7lissrbe7]

@NKFraley your confused, thats artemis, the goddes of the hunt, and the moon, sister of apolo, god of the sun. she is the leader of the virgin hunter girls. athena was born when her father zues got a head ache and his head split and she came out. anna beth was the same her father got a head ache and thats how she was born. ta. da.

[Cajo96Loves1D]

@NKFraley I know, but Rick made an own version. He also wrote that they were never really born, but her children is really just a thought. They were born from her and their father's mind :P

[ben86318]

dis z nonsence

[darkerise2]

thumbs up if your using this for homework... :P

[Meligikuo3o]

@darkerise2 Haha, I am : )

[cocoonbreach]

@TheDavid2222 - If you dig deep, you can find most "gods" in the history of Christianity. Starting with the king, Nimrod and his wife semiramis. These two are the mother and father, so to speak, of all these myths. I found all this when looking into "the men of renown" from Genesis.

[StuartMason09]

@cocoonbreach

What source says that Semiramis is Nimrod's wife? That certainly wouldn't be biblical.

[vadganem]

Most of us are only familiar with the Greek gods through a literal reading of their myths. Few are familiar with the gods of Pythagorean and Platonic philosophy, a multiplicity of divine unities emanating from the Ineffable One. If you want to learn more about the sublime ancient religion read the works of Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus, Emperor Julian, Proclus, Damascius, Simplicius, Olympiodorus.

[doctorwho060alice]

Percy Jackson brought you here?

Anyway,I love mythology...

[vickyboy96]

@doctorwho060alice haha you aren't the only one! :D

[sajakram1]

WHO HAS EVER respected mine no-one and you know it

[MrEmeraldfusion]

@7:50 - Greek mythology sounds alot like judaism and christianity.

[JB6299]

@MrEmeraldfusion It's the other way around. Christianity and judaism is what left. 12 gods or 12 apostoles or th 12 races of israel. ISRAEL means ISis RA EL. You know Isis and Ra of Egypt.. The name of Greece in Greek lanquage is El -las (land of the El). So all together equals: Is Ra El

[sajakram1]

what a retarded religion greeks believed then they let this sickness be incorporated in to xtianity and the trinitywas invented like all pagan cults of the time had there own trinity bullshit

[berylandlime]

@sajakram1 Its a different way of believing. If you don't respect other peoples beliefs then you don't deserve to have yours respected.

[xXNandoBoomXx]

Lets face it, You got here after "The Immortals" the movie.

[JB6299]

@xXNandoBoomXx No my friend. Many years earlier. I haven't seen the movie. A french philosopher around 1900 said: Everything in this planet that is older than 200 years is Hellenic (Greek). Who gave the Greeks the technology?. The Russian leader Nikita Chroutchov said back in the 50's. " The Greek spaceships are wating patiently around earth the day of the apocalypse"

[xXNandoBoomXx]

@JB6299 haha relax, Its just a Joke.

BTW, I like "Clash Of The Gods" series on the Discovery Channel better. AND! a Big Fan of KRATOS!

[MrLittletomdj]

@xXNandoBoomXx Absolutely, I was one of the few kids that grew up on greek mythology, then some Jewish hippy buggered up my imagination. Whilst Immortals is a bangin' film, it's soooo doesn't reflect the original stories. That being said, it's the soul inspiriration for rekindling that childhood fantasy... and lets face it the Greek Myths lay waste to that Bible trash. Not original or cool.

[Katw76]

@xXNandoBoomXx My curious mind brought me here, never seen the movie.

[xXNandoBoomXx]

@Katw76 The Movie was Awesome, In my opinion. I belive that Hollywood may exaggerate everything, but If you like Mythology and enjoy good action movies, u should check it out.

PS: your curious mind would get along with google, Wiki, youtube ;)

[Katw76]

@xXNandoBoomXx Sounds like something I'd like, I'll make a point of seeing it! :)

[HistoryLover1550]

@xXNandoBoomXx I liked the younger depictions of the Olympians in the movie. Athena's my personal fave Olympian ;)

[xXNandoBoomXx]

@HistoryLover1550 agrred. Athena is the Hottest! Everywhere u see, books, encyclop, movies, videogames haha...

[HistoryLover1550]

@xXNandoBoomXx She's my fave because I identify with her :) I also like Apollo too.

[Cajo96Loves1D]

@xXNandoBoomXx I do not face it, I'm here after Percy Jackson and a theatre I was a part of

[xXNandoBoomXx]

@Cajo96Loves1D ok. I've heard about this P jackson. I saw the preview of the movie, but felt like a "young-teenage" pretty movie for me, No offence, but I prefer a much mature story.

[Cajo96Loves1D]

@xXNandoBoomXx I didn't like the movie ether, but I really enjoyed the books. Im rereading them right now :)

[RadioPops]

@xXNandoBoomXx That movie was terrible.

[Slangbella1337]

@xXNandoBoomXx how did you know;)

[brownjessie]

@xXNandoBoomXx No, after playing God Of War :D

[vikrage]

@xXNandoBoomXx i got here after watching Myth of Shaolin Kungfu. Makes sense? hehe.

[JuanOfaKind88]

@xXNandoBoomXx No, I got here after watching "Percy Jackson and Olympians: The Lightning Thief"

[akkaskeetown4ever]

@JuanOfaKind88 me too

[JB6299]

It was religion for the Greeks for thousands of years. The truth is that the 12 gods of Olympus believe in the one and only God that people still believe nowdays. I know this sounds crazy or stupid to u but there is only one God. They (12 gods) just had superpowers. Watch the Immmortals now playing in cinemas.

[ijdow]

Zeus owns Jesus and Mohammed

[crucialconflict02]

i love learning about greek mythology

[IllyriaLion]

@crucialconflict02 actually...what we know today as "greek" mythology, was really taken and adopted from PELASGIAN mythology.

sadly, many truths are buried in a mountain of academic corruptions and deception

[jimakisspd]

@IllyriaLion Pelasgians= all hellinic(greek) races(including illyrians).

Today Albanians= caucasians, turks and other races mixed!!!

[IllyriaLion]

@jimakisspd Pelasgians were the people who inhabited the Peloponnese peninsula before greeks arrived

Illyrians were a Pelasgian tribe..not greek

modern "greeks" dont have nothing with old hellens.

today greeks are mixed mostly Turkish and Persian and other races.

you dont have nothing with old European heritage

[jimakisspd]

@IllyriaLion Damnit aren't you albanians already tired of propaganda to get some history??

We got no mix at all, that's because no persian ever reached Peloponnesus?? And many a few turks reached here!!!

[MelbGavros]

@IllyriaLion i cant even get angry with this, you have no idea of history, stop trolling urself and go do some research.

[museluvr]

@crucialconflict02 I took a class in ancient egyptian, greek, and roman art - the history intermixed was amazing.

[55atras]

@ALFAVILLIA People that need to be guided or need something to hold on are weak. I do not require an imaginary guardian to explain or watch over me. Religion=Cult. Besides, why does this myth of yours require worship, when he is supposed to be so powerful? The need to be worshipped is a human weakness. Does this God have insecurity issues?

[55atras]

@ALFAVILLIA Hardly! 

[55atras]

WHAT IS THIS INCESANT NEED FOR HUMANS TO WORSHIP?

[DrSLeepOnCouches]

2:35 kronos has a small dick

[JB6299]

"Mythos" in Greek language is something that is not written on books but spread in time through people. Greek Mythology is written. Homer, Aristotel and many more wrote about them.I mean Aristotel was not stupid. He knew exactly what he was writting about. Are u sure it is "mythology"? I personally believe with the use of word mythology truth is hidden from humans. Greeks believed in Them until 320 AD when emperor Theodosios forced them to stop believing in them. They'll be back soon 21 12 12.

[GetInside157477]

yeah..why can you not love Greek mythology as shanaekt said...? there are plenty of "nudity" over there

[SuperCOMAME]

best greek mythology vid on youtube....THANK U~

[ARCANGEL5210]

All these tales are rip offs of ancient kemit or African cultures.

[Plecebo1996]

@ARCANGEL5210 What? That's like saying Judaism is a rip off of Christianity.

what?

[Fresh210Tv]

they have so many thing wrong

[lambertdelta]

What I do to help understand mythology is I substitute the word mythology with the word religion .

[MrDhurandhar]

The Greek mythology might be based partly on facts and partly fiction.The Hindu mythology is even more facinating and what appears fiction today becomes reality tommorow when science makes fiction a reality.Since human mind and thought has no limitation of creativity just disbeliving does not mean that possibility is shroded in misunderstanding
