Medusa is not the villain at all! I agree

Medusa was always a monster in Greek myths, Ovids version is for the Romans.

@@thehermit8723 nope

@@thehermit8723 No.

I'm seeing your comments pop up on a lot of the videos I watch. I look forward to the next fun fact.

indeed, and Perseus later became ancestor to Herakles

That's version is not apart of greek Mythology

She was always a monster in Greek myth, so… (I’m guessing you got the tragic story idea from the Roman writer Ovid. He was not Greek, and did not write about the Greek gods, and yet his rage fic is still more trusted than actual Greek sources…)

@@russergee49 because people like sad stories

Tragic? How is being born a normal monster from typhon and ehidna a Tragic backstory ohhh wait You mean the ovid version yeah that one was roman so not valid

​@@omarsalem1219TOO MANY PEOPLE be taking the "retcon" version as the oldest one, it kinda pisses me off!

Same

This might be before Hercules

Also Medusa: i am pregnant of two monsters

Don't worry Medusa, Kratos killed Perseus.

perseus: sry medusa this isn't rome.

Maybe it affects the gods for a short time, or it was his other hypostasis. After all, the gods have many hypostases. I also wonder why Athena does not turn to stone? And why didn't Perseus use a shield against the sea monster?

hmmm. loophole

Titian’s are immortal and cannot be killed, he probably stayed a stature for a while then went back to normal

Atlas did turn back to normal after Perseus petrified him.

@@user-yp6kn2uw4k wasn't that only males could turn into stone?

it all started with a prophecy that caused Danae's father to imprison her, so that she would never bear the son that would cause his death, however, the old king overlooked the fact that the prophecy never said the son had to be fully mortal, Zeus fell in love with Danae and turned into a shower of gold, he entered her prison cell and courted her, Danae became pregnant and gave birth to Perseus, when Danae's father found out, he was so enraged that he locked the mother and son inside a coffin and tossed them into sea, but Zeus arranged things with Poseidon, so the coffin did not sink, instead, it reached shore safely Perseus would then grow up and be given the mission to take Medusa's head, he was gifted with weapons by the Gods to do so, Hermes offered a pair winged sandals (one of his spare shoes) and a helmet of invisibility (borrowed from Hades) so that Perseus would have a safe travel, Athena offered a sword and a shield with which to fight Medusa with Perseus found Medusa and her sisters at their temple and cut off Medusa's head (some say he did it like an assassin while she was sleeping, others say he fought a valiant battle against the Gorgons) upon beheading Medusa, two beings sprung from her body, one was a winged horse named Pegasus, the other was a demigod son of Poseidon named Chrysaor, Perseus jumped on the back of Pegasus and flew away Pegasus left Perseus on the shores of Argos and flew off, it was here that Perseus met the love of his life, Andromeda, who was chained to be sacrificed to the sea beast, Cetus, to appease Poseidon's wrath against her mother's vanity Perseus used Medusa's head to petrify Cetus, saving his princess and earning her hand in marriage, they lived happily ever after and became ancestors of other heroes, such as Herakles

At least this time, it ultimately benefited the Greek world.

@@redking8243 WTD

Yes and it became the endless trouble of Olympus

No, it wouldn't. Kids have this today but play Fortnite and can not answer the simplest of questions. Easy does not improve one's brain, people will never understand this basic principle.

Ya, so technically they're fraternal twins.

From what I heard, rather than being pregnant they both sprang from her neck as she died.

that's also poseidon's kid

some say it was a giant, others say it was a winged boar either way, by cutting off Medusa's head, Perseus released the children she mothered with Poseidon from her body, one was a winged horse Pegasus and the other was Chrysaor

another version says pegasus wasn't in medusa's tummy. when her blood spilled, some of it fell into the ocean and with that mix, pegasus popped out (kinda like when krono's (i think it was him) genitals fell in the sea near the island of cyprus after they got chopped and aphrodite was born).

😂😂😂😂😂

The fighting make the story more fun

HUGE loophole. but that is greek mythology we're talking about 👌🏽

after Atlas turned into stone. he turned back to normal later. it's unknown if greek gods is immune to it or not. titans are immortal

It depends on whose story you're listening to with a lot of myths and folklore. There loads of versions and even different endings and characters

Thera are more person than one in greek mythology with the name Hercules...

@@toniametaxa4654 With the same abilities and similar back story?

R. Kelly style

Plothole!1!

He's just rock hard after that encounter 😏 I'm guessing since he is a titan, he survived.

the gods probably undid it sine he still needed to be punished, but that story was just a reason to give meaning behind the mountains in norht africa

and imagine that another version of the myth takes it MUCH further than that. in this version perseus yeeted the disc with such force, it didn't just reach the spectators, it flew out of the stadium, continued above the seas, reached argolia and found directly king accretius at his head killing him 😂😂😂

Most versions also have Cetus depicted as a whale, rather than... whatever *that thing* is. In fact, that's what the constellation is supposed to look like too.

Not really a mistake - I heard the same thing, Perseus turned Cetus into stone by showing him the head of Medusa. A number of mythological stories have slightly different versions.

That version of the fight became dominant thanks to Clash of the Titans.

It's a case where multiple versions of the story exist. In some versions of the story, Perceus kills Cetus with his sword and the blood of Cetus is what made the red sea red. While on other versions, he uses the head of Medusa to turn Cetus to stone.

Jupiter, Minerva, and Neptune; not Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon. Ovid, who wrote was you are referring to, was a Roman, and wrote about Roman gods. He did not write Greek myths. In Greek myth, Medusa was always a monster, and there is no writing to say she was victimized.

Ask Ovid, he hated what was going on with the Greeks.

Atlas is a Titian who holds up the sky as im sure you know. This means any hero can meat him no mater when they were born even if he was once turned too a statue, he would just go back to normal. (Edit: spelling)

Don't give him any more ideas

😂😂😂

I'd go on a tour of L.A.

And who would you want turned to stone @@Raximus3000?

Donald Trump (if he manages to escape the Justice and run for office again), Ron Desantis, and other Public Figures who are a Threat to America’s Democracy that are unredeemable are those who I want turned to stone

@@JeffreyBarkdull The ones in charge and their minions, now that i think about it you can add blackrock and silicon valley to it. Basicaly the sources of my "annoyance."

Pretty much most of the Kremlin and Duma.

Great question

Thera are more Hercules than one for that reason it is o confusion about that...

Maybe because she's the one that cursed Medusa.

Her gaze was deadly only to mortals (though this raises the question of how Atlas was vulnerable, especially if we take into account that Hercules found him alive).

Basically, it's a plothole. Greek Mythology is VERY old so somes myths will end up contradicting each other

@@jessicalulila5709 that makes sense.

My headcanon is that Zeus revived Atlas so he can continue to suffer.

@@hakimdiwan5101 I like your head canon. It makes it make sense and is consistent with Zues's character. 👍

Im some stories she is born a gorgon with other sisters. In some she is a victim of the gods.

If anything Perseus ended her suffering of loneliness. Also despite that all of this was for his mother.

The "Priestess Medusa" is a *roman myth from the writer Ovid
