​@@Ronaldability why do i read this with that british tiktok voice

​@@agumon1605 LMAOO

Also he looks like Persona 3 Protagonist and the funny thing is that Orpheus is his main summon

@@TaureanHeart I think that’s the reference

does this has anything to do with the three headed dog from Harry potter?

The author (I refuse to say her name) probably took inspiration from Greek myths.

@@jamessirot854 i guess so two!

​@@jamessirot854considering all the creatures in that world, definitely did.

I remember a work I did in School years ago where our teacher showed a part of this story (up to the death of Eurydice) and then asked us to continue the story however we wanted. I knew nothing about the myth besides the little text she gave us, but in my story, Orpheus has to fight a 3-headed bear, but he actually just plays a song to calm it down. I didn't know he actually encountered Cerberus in the story, I just took inspiration from a Gravity Falls episode lol

Wake up new Greek mythology lore just dropped

Roman Mythology Greeks didn't believe in Ortheos. Greeks believed Hade's and Persephone's other stories as their religion

@@covenawhite4855 that's some funny words too bad I can't understand them

​@@covenawhite4855:49 he directly quotes greek people talking about orpheus

Ah yes, new ;)

Actually Makoto's STARTING Persona is Orpheus. His ultimate persona is Thanatos, the god of the dead, and is REAL ultimate persona is LITERALLY JESUS CHRIST.

Rwby color scheme lookin ass Orpheus

@@KrimsonKattYTactually his ultimate persona is Orpheus Telos which you get by fusing Asura x Thanatos x Messiah x Chi You x Metatron x Helel and you must have maxed all social links

​@@WEXgamers11actually his ultimate persona is most likely messiah and Orpheus Telos is just a cool bonus for completionists given multiple things, including it being what shows up for the assist at the end, like Izanagi-no-Okami and Satanael, and being the most thematically appropriate

Good to see another Persona fan in the wild

Yes! As the kingdom of the dead was believed to lay deep beneath the earth, the Hellenes thought natural caves and such were entrances to the dread realm of mist and gloom.

@@Boss_Isaac Oh, that's really interesting,

Kinda, it's not supposed to be easy to get into though, with cerberus guarding the entrance and everything.

​@@supercjm3306easy to go into, not so much to leave. The thing is that they considered the underworld as a physical place, not an ethereal plane.

It actually seems like they were multiple like one out of 17 caves just kind of lead there

Love really does make you stupid

@@Starii_64 yup

Izanami would never

I remember playing a flash game based on Orpheus called "Orpheus the Lyrical" and it's exactly like what you described but in 2d pixel graphics

I played that game a fair bit too. It was a tricky one, never could fully get the hang of the platforming in that game.

Orpheus be like: I swear it wasn't me that turned into a p*do, it was my evil twin! *Days of our Immortal Lives' theme song intensifies*

I would guess that is not what Ovid means. Boys to him means young adults around the age 20, he uses the word a lot to refer to guys like Narcissus and even Orpheus. So Orpheus was enamored by man in his age (around twenty). Either way the greek version says that Orpheus rejected both males and females in favor of Apollo, the god of music.

@@sonofcronos7831 Nah my dude. I looked it up and Ovid's exact words are "ille etiam Thracum populis fuit auctor amorem in teneros transferre mares citraque iuventam aetatis breve ver et primos carpere flores." He explicitly mentions them being "on this side of adulthood" (citra iuventam aetatis), which means they are younger than 16. And I would even go as far as saying that "plucking the first flower" (primos carpere flores) of their "brief spring" (breve ver) carries the same connotations as "deflowering" someone, i.e. "popping their cherry", i.e. taking their virginity. But this is Ovid, so he could just be projecting.

@@SLiV9 funny how Ovid is always ruining stories. Like that origin story of Medusa, or Atlas turning into stone, and now this!

He was also called Phoebus and while I read Ovid sometimes he was called that or Apollo, it really confused me at the start

​@@Pollicina_db Phoebus is a greek name. It means the Shining, and is used everywhere by greeks. Apollo is the name of the god to greek and romans, with his most know epithet being Phoebus Apollo to both greeks and romans.

@Thumbellina_db I think Phoebus is just one of his epithets like Athena would be called Parthenos, meaning the virgin

@@sonofcronos7831 Aha, I knew that it was his epithet, but not that it was also of greek origin, thanks for the info

@@sonofcronos7831 Bacchus is a greek name too

I heard a version in which she tripped just as they were about to exit and Orpheus turned around to catch her

I love this story (not the ped0 part, I had no idea) because in any version when Orpheus turned for Eurydice it was always out of love and overwhelming devotion to her. It makes in even sweeter because the ending is that they roam the edges of river Styx and sometimes Eurydice goes first, or both together, or even Orpheus but now he has no fear of losing her. He'll even when he looked back, Eurydice wasn't mad because how could you be upset, with simply being loved?

the stuff I translated in my latin class was different too. he couldnt hear her footsteps and thought hades tricked him so he turnes around to check and after he realised he lost her forever he stopped playing his instrument and his fan girls then killed him. he got beheaded by them (with bare hands) and his head was floating in a river and was still singing sad songs for three days

​@@naito4820 I also heard the "decapitated-head-in-a-river" part. For our music/Theatre class we had to reenact an ancient play and our group had that version (We didn't do the ending though, since I've already traumatised my classmates with enough greek mythology facts)

@@LivesInHerBooks im also constantly traumatising my class with norse, egypt and greek mythology.

“Hound dog howl and the whistle blow. Train come a-rollin, clickety-clack Everybody tryin' to get a ticket to go Those who go they don't come back”

They going way down, Hadestown, way down under the ground

“Winters high and summers o’re hear that high and lonesome sound that’s my husband coming forth to bring me home,to hadestown way down hadestown way down under the ground”

Ovid is roman. The greek writers specifically liked to say that Orpheus rejected the love of everyone in praise to Apollo the god of music, and his rejection of the Dionysian cult lead to his death. Damm i can not believed that Jake has now created this stupid and bad interpretation of Orpheus history because of Ovid.

@@sonofcronos7831 To be fair... some parts of history can be interpreted many ways. And considering that we're somewhat talking about a mixture of Greek and Roman deities, it's a little hard to not get the usual things mixed up. Now I'm not saying this is a bad interpretation, if anything this is actually... an understandable interpretation in my eyes I mean look at a lot of ancient history and you find... yeah a lot of it is pretty fucked up, so this detail is not too hard to believe really. You've got a right to be annoyed about the inaccuracy but hey, nobody is perfect. In the end, I like how people look at some mythology and interpret aspects about it. I'd dare say some people make things better with their interpretations (Look at the Heroic version of Zeus and TELL ME that's the version that sucks compared to the one usually in Greek Mythology)

@@TheDracoStar things can be interpreted in different ways, but it cannot be intepreted in any way someone wants or in, well, a wrong way. This is why exists scholars and academics, forensics studies and what not. I am not saying here that someone needs to be a scholar to make their own opinions, but if one wants to propagate some information, then it needs to be done with responsability. And the worst takes are the ones someone makes from Ovid. Like, because people makes superficial readings of his stories, they believe all ancient gods to be gruesome and evil, when this is not the way the ancient societies view them. Everything needs to be put in context. And this one is specially harmful, since it damage orpheus story reputation with a thing that is not even intended by the author of the history. Is just like the Aracne story. Minerva is portrayd bad in that story off course because Ovid has his reasons, however Minerva saves Aracne life by turning her in a spider by the end so that her work should not be lost by her suicid3. But other adaptions of that story made in the modern day portrays Minerva as a evil goddess who punishes Aracne by turning her in the spider just because yes. And a lot of people will go around saying "why is Minerva/Athena the goddess of wisdom if she was so dumb and jealous?" when people should read the original version, not the modern rendition (and even them, Aracne is a Ovid history, thus should be read in the context of Ovid, not in the context of greeks and romans). About Zeus i dont understanding what you mean. Zeus was the heroice god of the greeks off course, but not all greeks acepted Zeus histories, they called them lies and deceptions because they portrayed their god in a harmful way. So this clear show that they were not ignoring that stories, but explicitly saying they were bad. In the modern day no one never has portreyd Zeus heroically. The only exception is Disney Zeus, but look at Zeus in God of War, Percy Jackson, Thor 4 and others, he is either a douche, or evil, or lazy. Red from OSP said that she herself ignores the bad stuff in her videos because they are light hearted, not that the entire world ignores the bad things Zeus has done. Orpheus is one of the most heroic and sad characters in greek mythology, what Jake has done to him here by misreading a word is discusting.

@@sonofcronos7831 I'm no expert, but I think you misinterpreted this actually. Ovid used the term "boys" to describe Orpheus' partners in a specific context. The exact words from Ovid (Jake showed this in the video at that part) was, besides Orpheus "turning for love to immature males," Orpheus "pluck[ed] the flower of a boy's brief spring before he has come to his manhood." That pretty clearly reads to me that he was into teenage boys in puberty (ages 11-15), as spring is often associated with puberty ("blooming"). It's fine you like Orpheus and his tale, but you must acknowledge this point is pretty clear-cut. Also, describing a character from Greek myth as heroic is always a bit dicey because the idea of heroes we have now tends more toward paragons, while the ancient Greeks favored heroes being defined as more flawed but are a main character of their myth as a result of circumstance (what great feats they did, particular skills like Orpheus here, etc.). It often doesn't reflect on their character as we might expect a modern hero to be.

@@lzx868 i now exactly what a greek hero is. Is not that they are flawed, is that they pursue greatness, good deeds could be that pursuit or could be the a unintend result of that pursuit. In the case of Orpheus, his pursuit of greatness was to literaly travel to the world of the dead. Even modern heroes are flawed, is not that what i am saying about heroism. Either way, Jake could also show the greek version, who come out first, where Orpheys rejected the love of everyone in favor of Apollo. This is what infuriates me, because people only uses Ovid version to speak for the entirety of greek and roman mythology. Jake could show both versions, but instead only used Ovid, and could probably lead to misunderstanding to people out there, just like they have with Minerva in the story of Aracne and Medusa in Ovid too.

hadestown is literally one of my fav musicals

dude hadestown was the first musical I ever saw it's so awesome!

@@david.lat0721Oh my gods I love Hadestown!

I love it so much I always cry at the end

i like both ways but personally i just think that he had an over rush of all his doubts that he couldn’t bare it and just had to check

Actually I think the underworld is kinda supposed to be a hard place to get into if your not dead, orpheus cant look back after getting back to the surface because than if she's not there he can't go back for her, wich is why he looks back before reaching the surface. Also I think it's supposed to show Hades in exactly an easy god to trust because of his position.

I belive the 'tricked' idea comes from the musical hadestown which is an adaption of the myth correct me if I'm wrong its just kinda in my brain since I watched it recently

@@Lynxstar_980 it might be in ther, but I very much doubt that idea originated there. I think the idea was to show that God's like Hades are scary and therefor hard to trust.

@Clint Jake at least point out that it was Ovid. Still, he could have talked about the greek versions where none of that cr4p is mentioned.

​@Clint Although some people are inclined to believe that Ovidius straight-up _made up_ many of the myths featured in his _Metamorphoses,_ we in fact know that he used pre-existing Greek sources that, of course, did not survive. One of these sources was a previous work which was, confusingly, also titled _Metamorphoses,_ compiled by the Hellenistic poet Nikandros.

​@@clint_tabernathat

​@@Boss_IsaacOvid does have the nasty habit of changing huge parts of the story though and not exactly staying true to the source material.

Ovid was Roman, Romans loved calling Greeks "boy lovers" any chance they could get

Don't worry! Ovid most likely made that.. troubling... part up.
