I think that for Poseidon and his wife they have an open marriage

Hades kidnapped her WHAT about that is a good relationship 🤷‍♀️

@@devonajohnson280 From what I understand, they eloped and it was translated into "kidnapping" because in cultures that see women as property and not independent being with autonomy, Hades "stole" her.

@@devonajohnson280 It used to be kidnapped=marriage and there not to far apart during those times and hades shared power with her the only person's to do so and it was also started by Zeus aka Persephone father so if anything it's an arrange marriage and they didn't clean hades image up since underworld=hell and Satan even tho it's not in Greek mythology. So if anything the correct way is Zeus is the antagonist and someone else is the protagonist Hades does not appear that much is Greek mythology or even mycanean mythology

Amphitrite stayed out of Poseidon’s business. She was okay as long as her offspring were okay

Their marriage was the exact opposite of Hades and Persephone.

Nice Pun

@Peter Salucci lol ye

She probably doesn't even see it as a punishment. More of a life upgrade.

Finally, inner peace

@@andehymarx Yeah, now she doesn't have to leave her house if she wants to get anywhere! Bonus!

Haha she's too lazy to notice it😅

@@andehymarx So true, now she can sleep when ever she wants

Does make you wonder if there are more then one story. Some of these mythological types have some rather inconstant stories with each other. Then there's those that just like to sugar coat things and hide the really bad parts of stories for sake of "The children"

Precisely

More like Zeus is held hostage by Hera

@@Uulfinn Not really. Zeus cheats on Hera a lot and Hera usually punishes the child or woman because she can’t punish Zues

@@Uulfinn nope Hera was forced to marry him

Zeus is the youngest of the powerful of the three main gods of Olympus but he wanted to be taken serious so he fashioned himself to look older while the elder brothers are desperate to look younger

To be fair, the Gods (at least, the Greek Gods to my knowledge) are known to shift shape, so their appearance don’t really match their actual age

It’s fine,when u know that Hera is older than Zeus,that thought doesn’t come across your mind

The fact that their siblings makes it worse

Don't worry, he's actually her younger brother.

zeus is the ruler of the olymp. This story is not very accurate

Gods don't have to do the Right Thing What they do is the Right Thing.

Values dissonance at work.

@@sanriobride1705 its accurate you dont know what accurate means lol

They canf really say anything against the LITERAL GOD OF OLYMPUS

*birds

I just got cussed out by a bird. She was big mad I was close to her nest. I ain’t thinking about that bird

True!

Zeus can transform into anything, so yeah................... be careful

Amen

to be fair, according to the original version, he basically shamed her into marrying him, which was probably a common thing to happen at the time.

So if Hera would have basically stood her ground and made him stay a bird for the rest of his life in a little cage then women would have more equality and basic rights across the globe today? And if the lazy nymph wouldn't have made Hermes pay for all those hotel rooms all the other times they hooked up maybe he would have been nicer about the whole house and oversleeping thing cause no one had invented the alarm clock and I guess not everyone had roosters.🤷‍♀️ And she couldn't have been that lazy, maybe just slow, cause she beat the hare in the race thingy. Unless by that time she had been transformed into the hare and that's why the hare fell asleep mid race, but the tortoise kept going? 🤷‍♀️ who knows.

@@commentnocomment3246 ehh, maybe? i dunno, that's crossing into victim-blaming territory, so I don't think so. What Zeus did to her was pretty terrible.

@@solahaze8948 What "original" version is that, precisely? In what ancient Greek text can one find it? Genuinely curious.

goddess of quirkiness 😍🤪

@@Adam-nz3ix it’s mythology theirs a lot of those. Their is no one canon and are often many retellings of the same story.

Once she was freed she lived in the garden

@@fist-of-doom487 there's*

wait so where did she live when she was with oceanus and his wife

@@fist-of-doom487 Yeah. People trying to enforce a strict, Abrahamic-based canon on old pagan religions whose interpretation varies from locality to locality is honestly laughable.

well ... you COULD say that! after all both ARE MYTHS and folklore! both are highly fantasy and only made for entertainment! so yeah! they did indeed explain evolution!

And that, kids, is why religion exists... Lazy nymphs and lazy students.

Omg lol😆

So he created a turtle in order to create a lyre?

Ya LOLLLLLLLLLLL

but a turtle is the symbol of hermes

That vine : i LiKE tUrTLes

how he created the turtle if there were turtles when he was a baby

Too bad for him that he chose a woman who has no intention to take care of her own offspring, let alone of his.

Yeah i find this story with a lot of holes since hermes is the son of hera

Because it’s mythology. Theirs several different versions of almost every story. Theirs not a single canon telling and so you can accept whichever one you want. This version was the one where none of that’s true. Hera is not related to Hermès or Zeus in this telling of events. Just like Zagreus who is an actual God yet almost nothing is known about him other than being the God of Rebirth and the son of Persephone. In one of the few writings we can find he’s the son of Persephone and Zeus, in another the son of Persephone and Hades, in some Zagreus is just another name Dionysus takes. Their is no canon

@@thedoublesmsdansk Hermes isn't Hera's son though

Wasn't Zeus originally married to the titan Metis though? It was only after he swallowed her to avoid a prophecy (inadvertently giving birth to Athena in the process) that he later married Hera. Presumably playing around a bit given Hermes is around in this story.

@@thedoublesmsdansk Hermes is not Hera’s Son...Zeus cheated on Hera with Hermes’ Mother a pleiad Maia

Implied?

@@blugaledoh2669 impressed*, guessing he was using auto-correct?

I dont think they ever met when they were kids

@@creeperYT9824 They at least met when Cronos barfed up the 5 children he ate. Though I'm not familiar with the "Hera and Zeus liking each other since they were kids" either.

That doesn't make sense. They never met as kids, considering Hera was in Cronos' stomach until she was barfed out as a fully grown woman.

One thing that I always noticed while reading/listening/watching about greek mythology is, most of the misfortune are preventable, they just doesn't even bothered to think.

Bu again, they don't used myths for teaching people about good or bad (most moral value are added later by victorian writer), but they used myth for explaining things surrounding them. Like how the myth of king Midas were used for explaining why a river is full of gold and electrum deposit, etc.

Right? It really was his fault

He could have just give her a horse or chariot.

Dang it, you got me.

If they there a god ... yes

May I introduce you to Dorothy from Kansas? There was this one time she got so angry at some poor, disfigured old lady that she tossed her aunt's house on the old lady and stole her slippers. It was such a shame. She claimed it was the fault of a tornado that the house landed on the witch! XD

The joy of Greek Mythology - so much time line fuckery lol x

To make it make sense I like to think since they're gods they should be above the idea of cause and effect as we know it

That’s what I said!!!

I literally just made a comment like this

I commented on that too!

I mean, their parents are brother and sister too; their grandparents are mother and son; their brother is married to his niece.

That just makes their relationship extra spicy.)

@@lastfullast8819 A bit too spicy, if you ask me. LOL

The easily most relatable character in Greek mythology

True. I was just making this point

That's exactly what I thought. Or they took their sweet time organising this party. But then again, I heard a story about Hephaistos creating a dog that guarded baby Zeus and that's not possible as well.

What ! when ?

@Right-Wing Persian bro it's know they are myths and there is a chance they might not be true but I am serious

@Gwenpool what was the queens name Pls tell me

@@shrutikshirsagar526 wait should Hippolyta be a spartan queen i mean she's the amazon queen but?????

@@idk-638 maybe I am not sure

More like the unconsented advance

The artist is Kaji Pato The information is in the description

He transformed back into his human form and r*ped her. Not joking, that is actually the myth.

To me as a greek when i hear a certain name of an animal or plant given to an ancient hero or diety i know it is how my ancestors believed it was created.

Chelone, from which chelons = turtles (or most likely vice versa).

Chelone (Xελώνη), which in Greek means turtle

You wouldn't be happy if you had gotten into trouble for something you didn't do.

2:16 This would have been resolved if Zeus never invited Cheloni

Greek time line is weird zeus's son hephetsus made him a dog to protect him when he was a baby yea u heard thart right a baby

@@souldemon5491 Let me repeat that. Hephaestus, the son of Zeus, made a dog, to protect Zeus, when Zeus was a baby.

@@a.h.s.3006 greek myth gets getting weirder than does 11 year old fanfic on Wattpad 😀

I don't think it matters. He cheated on her with anything that moved anyway.

Yea. Story doesn't make sense..zeus cheated on hers and had hermes..which implies that they were already married before Hermes existed! We also know that ares(son of zeus and hera) is older than hermes..so how could Hermes be present during the marriage??

I was just about to ask this.

I think in my seeing of greek myth i seem to read that Zeus is most likely cheat 24/7 (well im still starting to this reading so im not sure as far as i know yet)

He did cheat on Hera with Maia according to every single account of the birth of Hermes.

I mean, there is a story in which baby Zeus was raised by the daughters of Hephaestus, his son or nephew. And one in which Hera was raised by the Horai, the daughters of her younger brother Zeus. And also one in which Dionysus plays an important role in a series of events that lead to the birth of his grandmother.

Actually Hera likes Hermes (no idea about his mom) but does dislike Apollo, Artemis and Leto.

@@TerrickTerran If by "likes Hermes" you mean that she never paid him any kind of negative attention, I suppose you're right. Still, it's not like she ever paid positive attention to him either, she just ignored him the way she ignored 90% of the children of Zeus.

I'd say this is a retelling somewhat based on various myths that aren't actually connected (one is Greek while one is Roman) rather than an accurate rendering of an ancient story. You definitely won't find it related this way in any ancient Greek text.

Servius, On Virgil's Aeneid 1. 505 (Roman grammarian C4th A.D.) : "For his wedding with Juno [Hera], Jupiter [Zeus] ordered Mercurius [Hermes] to invite all the gods, the men and the animals to the wedding. Everyone invited by Mercurius [Hermes] came, except for Chelone who did not deign to be there, mocking the wedding. When Mercurius noticed her absence, he went back down to the earth, threw in the river the house of Chelone that was standing over the river and changed Chelone in an animal that would bear her name. Chelone is said testudo (tortoise) in Latin."
