These ancient Greeks are SERIOUSLY obsessed with beauty

In the first place, asking Apollo for relationship advice was a terrible idea.

That moment when an eagle helps a woman out and you realize that eagles represent Zeus... Zeus was shipping Eros and Psyche

I apologise for the lack of images relating to the subject matter being discussed it was pretty hard to find anything that didn't involve tons of nudity...

I've always been fond of the idea that the Oracle at Delphi describing Eros as she did was a result of Apollo still being upset about the Daphne thing...

Eros wanted to be loved as a man and not as a god. Would Psyche see him in his divine form, she would probably fear him or gone mad, humans were after all little more than toys for the gods in greek religion and mythology. But love transcends everything, even the condition of gods and mortals, she was invested enough in her love than rather than going mad, she recognized her mistake and felt terribly ashamed about it. It's one of my favorite stories and I can see the influence that had in the development of romantic literature across time, from the Medieval Romance to Shakespeare to Oscar Wilde to Shoujo manga.

I hope my mother in law in the future wont be as jerk as Aphrodite

Honestly dude your channel is so brilliant I just found it and I absolutely love it an it has taught me a lot about Mythology and fiction!!!!!! :) Happy Valentines Day btw!!!! :)

Eros be like „PSYCHE i‘m actually not an evil snake boyfriend but a super hot god boyfriend“

Honestly out of all the gods, besides Athena and her grudge against Arachne (which was somewhat justified) Aphrodite is the pettiest goddess ever

This channel is why I got a 98 in my Greek Mythology class

i thought the story of Hades and Persephone was beautiful. Though this is just as if not more. God I love forbidden love stories

Love hurts. Truth hurts. Damn, I need a drink.

He was also the reason Zeus couldn't keep it in his pants

I like the C.S Lewis version of the story from one of the sister's perspective, Til We Have Faces, since then this has been my favorite story from greek mythology, especially all the ways its told, I've read almost ever version, still the book's version is my favorite

Did anybody else know that psyche was pregnant while completing all these hard tasks ?

A lot of people don't know about Anteros, I'm impressed that you had such a complete account. CS Lewis had an interesting take on the Eros and Psyche story in his book "Till We Have Faces."

If you have the time the Love story of Orpheus and Eurydice is a beautiful one too. I mentioned some other by mistake, getting my gods mixed up by watching KZfaq for too long, but Eurydice and Orpheus apart from this love story stands out to be the best ones. 😊

can you do something about the Oedipus and Electra complex? maybe explain the myths behind the theories? love this channel so much can already see you're going to do well.

Very clever of you sir to discuss about Eros on Valentines Day. I almost forgot about this God. Thank you

There is a big difference between seeing for the first time and fall in love and working to gain the trust lost by the person which you love.falling in love is easy,gain the person,s trust which you lost is hard

Could you do Native American mythology from north american natives to Mexico and central American to south American, also I have questions about your mic setup. I have skills in audio editing and I believe I can help boost your voice quality. Just found your channel and I really like your content, I enjoy to help you out.

You're channel is killing it. I think yesterday, you had 32K, now you have 39K. Congrats! Can you do a video on Arachne?

You`ve forgotten to mention a very important pillar of love which is forgiveness

2:59 Okay who less laughed at this? Like this dude just whacks mortals over the head and goes “bam you’re in love”

After a friend recommended this channel i have spent a large chunk of my day watching, this is a story i had absolutely no idea about and im glad ive heard it now :) looking forward to learning about gods i hadnt heard much about about till now..and then ill go into the fairy tale stuff cause i wanna know about that too :D !! brilliant stuff :)

Eros brother god of friendzone

I really loved this one, and admire how each of your videos goes indepthly into the origin and influence of the deity you're discussing. I know the video was about Eros, but I highly appreciate learning about Enteros (I'm unsure if I spelled his name correctly) as I have never heard of him before, what a shame he is overshadowed. I loved how you compared them and their duality and how tenderly you presented the story of Eros and Psyche

I love mythology/history, probably due to my mother being an archaeologist so I instantly fell for your channel. Do you think you could do videos on Inca mythology? I personally believe it to have one of the best mythos and and it's very not well know

I've loved mythology since as far back as I can remember, especially that of greek culture. I just found your channel and I am dumfounded by the information and stories. I love what you are doing here, your channel is amazing!!!!

Your channel's a gift. Thank you for existing.

I still remember when your channel was with 12K subscribers and it was a few days ago, keep up with the amazing work. No matter what will happen don't stop creating your content, it's really awesome

Dude... This is a really instructive, entertaining and well made video. Like all of your vids are but you've outdone yourself with this one ! This channel is a ticking time bomb. Keep it up dude

Ahhh, the lengthy videos are the best! You did a great job again! ♡

I’ve heard the story before, but your voice is very soothing and you explain things really well so now I understand it much better. Thank you.

By the way I LOVE your vid's & have told meny of my friends about them, there interesting & informative, without being condescending, you have a great voice that resonates 😊

Great video as always, I really appreciate all your work and effort!! And happy valentines day btw

That was one beautiful story. A hidden pearl among the many Greek Myths for sure. Thank you for bringing it to us. And yes, your channel is growing rapidly

this is my favorite myth , it has such a happy ending and i love your channel.

Beauty and the beast was an inspiration source of Eros and psyche and both stories are very similar

Love all these videos ! Great job

This is so enjoy to listen You did a very great job, and i'm pretty sure that it would be more enjoy to watch this as a movie but how come there was never a movie about these two.

Love your channel.

Beautiful!

Your best video ever! ❤️

This is so beautiful. I love it.

Great video

Really interesting and beautiful. I love it

I love your work and wish to hear more about love or admiration. Your explanatories help me sleep at night.

I know many stories in mythology have various retellings, but from the general consensus I get, I really feel for Psyche in all accounts of this story. First of all, everyone beginning to worship her instead of Aphrodite, those were actions beyond her control. As far as I know, she never asked to be worshiped as a goddess; in fact, she seemed to hate it, since everyone else's reactions to her extraordinary beauty was what made her very lonely and isolated. And Aphrodite gets mad at Psyche instead of everyone else? I think that's just unfair. Then when Eros gets involved with Psyche, it's interesting the few different accounts I hear of his agency in the story. In one, he pricked himself with his own arrow and fell in love with her; in another, he fell in love with her naturally and pricked himself with his own arrow to ensure he would stay in love with her. Also, I've often questioned, whatever happened to that winged serpent monster who was supposed to marry Psyche in Apollo's prophecy? In one version, it was just a prophecy, but nothing ever came of it, but in a few others I heard, it was Apollo basically lying through his teeth, describing Eros as a hideous monster to get revenge on Eros for making him fall unrequitedly in love with the nymph Daphne. In the version where the prophecy went nowhere, I kinda envision the idea of there actually being a winged serpent monster who comes after Eros and Psyche when he didn't get his promised bride, I think that would make for an interesting sequel. LOL But in the other account, of Apollo lying about Eros, that honestly makes more sense. As far as Psyche mistrusting Eros, with or without her sisters planting seeds of doubt in her mind, I kinda don't blame Psyche for being suspicious of Eros at first. First off, she was prophesied to marry a monster, I'd still be looking for the monster after being with an invisible Eros for a while, because two, Eros didn't show his face to her and didn't explain at first why, so yeah, I'd be suspicious, too. LOL Though to defend Eros a little, I would advise that Psyche tell Eros about the prophecy Apollo made about him so maybe they could clear that up at least...? But even then, I'd still want my lover to show his face. Funny how Eros says love cannot exist without trust, and yet he doesn't trust her to accept him as he is. Does this sound like a double standard to anyone else? I mean, I can't blame Eros for being hurt by the lack of trust from Psyche, since he didn't know about the prophecy (as far as I know), but yeah, even then, still kind of a double standard. Circling back around to Eros' agency in the story, a few accounts I've heard was that he stayed away from Psyche until he couldn't bear it anymore and flew back to her, especially after he heard about all she went through to try getting him back. In another, I heard that he secretly aided her in her labors, once again showing up to her as an invisible voice, which I honestly really like; it would show that Psyche didn't have to do all the work in mending the relationship. LOL And in the version where Psyche did do all the work...um, yeah, speaking from personal experience of being in one-sided relationships where it looked like it was all on me to make things work, yeah, not a fan of this version of the story. LOL I can at least appreciate that Eros eventually did return to Psyche of his own accord, even though I'm still a bit iffy about him, maybe they were able to make things work and straighten everything out afterward, but...eh, I donno, Eros and Psyche still don't sound like the healthiest romance, but this is just my take on it. XD

I love this, wow i'm new to your channel but i simply love it now ..this is amazing OMG😊😊😊

Loved it!!!!

Finally the KZfaq trending page actually gives attention to an interesting KZfaq channel. I love Mythology. You should do a video on Epona the Goddess of Fertility and Horses in Celtic Mythology, as a huge fan of Folk Metal I love Celtic Mythology.

This has always been one of my favorite stories from the Greek mythos. I always liked that fear was so preeminent in the story, because Love is very scary, for everyone. Thanks!
