So, we’re still talking about sex this week, but we’re talking about Earth Mothers and their children. We'll start with Gaia, and her son Kronos, who had a classic childhood rebellion, and castrated his father. We'll also get into Kronos’s son Zeus, who would go on to dethrone his father. We’ll talk about Norse mythology, too, and look at the family that created the world, and worked together to make people.

As I scroll through I comments.. just under this comment for me is people wanting them to talk about Finland, Slavic mythology, Maori here, Australian Aboriginal.. in the last video there were a bunch more I can't remember.. and the one before that..

Can you all just remember that he said in the introduction episode that there are often m a n y versions of some myths, so they usually just pick one and explain it.

It's great reading Rick Riorden books when you're already well acquainted with the mythology. It's like, someone mentions a name in passing, and you immediately have a general idea of what's going to happen over the course of the next five chapters. And then you read them, and you feel great because you were right, and then you realize in wonder that he managed to write a whole section of the book about the Ring of Nibelung without using the term once.

Fun fact: In the Enuma Elish the order in which the various parts of the world are created, is roughly the same as the order of creation in Genesis. It's why the Babylonian creation story is believed to shed light on the origins of Genesis, either as the source material for it, or as deriving from the same source material as Genesis.

In the same way, the story of Noah after the flood when his son castrates him lines up with most of the other stories as well. Also, that is interesting about the Islamic version. The midrash (Jewish commentary) teaches that the serpent in the garden is trying to supplant Adam and seduce eve to become the progenitor of the human race.

I think that humans sharing common themes in their creation stories show us that they are the same at their core, influenced by different environments. They feel and think in similar ways, so they will most likely perceive the world in such a way too. Similar themes are present because they were the best and easiest thing to understand that they could think of at the time. Son killed a God and divided his body to make the world - that's a shareable story that everyone can get onboard on. Everyone knows what the earth looks like, everyone has some understanding on bodies, so combining the two leaves no-one lost.

Well, "Gods" aren't really a species or race. There were the Titans, and then Olympians, but they were mostly separated by the fact that they were a generation. Traditionally you would consider the Olympians as "gods", because those are the beings being worshiped. Similarly, the Nordic "gods", were said to be from a place called Asgard, and there were a whole people of them. Polyesthic religions in the region seem to have this sort of shared characteristic of "gods" being a type of celestial being that created parts of our world, or embody those aspects of our world in some way.

It's always hilarious to see the ice giants(Or jotuns, if you want a name that isn't strictly associated with ice, which they weren't) as some sort of separate species of hulking giants. In most Nordic myths, they are more of a separate tribe of people, but much akin to the Aesir and Vanir. Heck, Loki was a jotun until he became Odin's blood brother and joined the Aesir.

In Norse mythology Ymer or Ymir is not a Frost giant, but a Jötunn. The frost giants is a subgroup of the Jötnar. The frost giant lives in Niflheim, where as all the other Jötnar lives in Jötunheimr. Ymir did not give birth to Búri. He was formed by the cow Auðumbla licking a stone.

I've read interesting theories, which put forth that the prevalence of the trope of male children overthrowing their parents in mythology come from the transition of more egalitarian/matriarchal hunter gatherer societies transitioning to patriarchal agricultural societies. Fertility/Mother goddess worship comprises some of the earliest religious art known (example: Venus of Willendorf etc) and implies a greater importance/power of women in these cultures. When transitioning to agricultural societies, men were able to gain greater power over women (the reasons why are up for debate, but it is hard to deny it happened) and the myths changed to reflect this greater importance of men over women in the eyes of those who now held more power (men). So in the example of Greek myth, Gaea was probably the primary focus of mythological importance in hunter gatherer proto Greek society, but as they became agricultural, the addition of the overthrow myth refocused emphasis to Gaea's male offspring as the more important and head deity.

@feynstein1004 7 жыл бұрын

Interesting theory but I don't think the Greek myths are older than agriculture c. 10000 BC. That is pretty old. It's highly unlikely that the Greeks were referring to changes in their society that happened so long ago.

There's an observation that's been made in literature over the years that refers to the idea of a son's need to metaphorically kill his father in order to go out into the world and make his own way, or live his own life with his own, unique world view. Shakespeare wrote about it in "Henry IV, Part 1". As you were relating the father-son conflict myths here, I couldn't help noticing the similarities between creation and growth and change and new beginnings. It made me wonder if creation myths like these were where that metaphor got its start.

You are mixing the titan Kronos (who used his scythe to castrate Ouranos aka heaven), son of Gaia and Ouranos, with Chronus, father of time and son of Chaos. The two are not the same entity at all.

Are we going to discuss the mythological trope of sky gods fighting serpents? Marduk vs. Tiamat in this very episode Zeus vs. Typhon Thor vs. Jormungandr Indra vs. Vritra God vs. Leviathan etc.

So funny to hear the English pronunciation of the old Norse gods, being a Dane. Also: FROST GIANTS ARE NOT FROST GIANTS. they're creatures called Jætter (pl.), and are more like humanoid monsters, as we know them in Scandinavia. They can be small or large, magical or not, pretty or ugly (mostly ugly), and in one classic mythical tale Thor meets one that turns out to be basically made of fire. So like, definitely not frost. Not necessarily giant. Sorry, but, #petpeeve

Are you guys going to talk about how many cultures have a concept of duality in theie creation myths, like the co-creator gods Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca of the Aztecs? Also, you somehow missed the obvious symbolic parallel between Marduk's, a skygod, slaying Tiamat, an older earth goddess which predated Babylonian civilization, and the move away from matriarchal mother goddess cults towards sky god religions round about this time 4000-5000 years ago.

Creation story of my main fantasy religion: the leader of the gods, Caeleu, was not yet omnipotent. He had to fight the universal God- the God who was the universe, but who was not all powerful. They charged from their chariots, and then Caeleu won. With this, he gained omnipotence and separated his opponent into good and bad, forming the sun and moon

In Enuma Eliš, Marduck is Anu's son, as I recall. And Tianmat is actually pushed into revenge like "They killed your husband, and you'll do nothing?" and I think that Anu did that, but they blamed it on Qingu. (maybe I'm wrong, epic had so many unknown words when I've read it). So she empowered Qingu with weapons and stuff, but Marduck had him defeated anyway. About half of the story more or less consists of praising Marduck and talking about his awesomeness and stuff and empowering him.

Chronus has nothing to do with time. That's Kronos, a primordial deity separate from the titans and infinitely more important. Chronus took over the position of Sky God from his father Ouranos, and was later usurped by his own son Zeus who took the same position. I'm sick and tired of people misrepresenting Chronus and Kronos. This is Renaissance era confusion and it needs to stop.

@cjayhay 7 жыл бұрын

It's actually Classical and Hellenistic era confusion! There are lines in Plutarch's "On Isis and Osiris" and Cicero's "De Natura Deorum" that suggest there were people in antiquity who thought Kronos and Chronos were the same, and then there are alternate versions of the creation myth that conflate them, like the ones in Pherecydes' "Heptamychos," where Chronos, Kronos, and Zeus (Pherecydes calls him "Zas") all kinda seem like they're the one thing. So, like many things people are sick of, it's been happening for over 2000 years!

@antitheist3206 7 жыл бұрын

***** Yes and no. Ye olde greeks spelled both as Kronos but recognized them as different characters, sort of like how Pallas the daughter of Triton was considered separate from Pallas the leader of the gigantes. But modern English separates them by spelling, with Chronus usually being the titan and Kronos or Cronos as the primordial.

@jaerinl 7 жыл бұрын

sagely Demonologist No they didn't actually. Kronos (the titan) was spelled Κρόνος whereas Chronos was spelled like Χρόνος, which makes perfect sense since 'chrono-' is used as a root to convey time.
