The worst thing is that this could be referencing multiple greek myths.

For anyone wondering, Minotaur was able to be born because his mother was a imortal goddess. Pasifae was a daughter of Helios and the Oceanid Perseis, she was part of a family of magicians (her sister was Circe and her brother was Aeetes, the father of Medea, all of those were magicians). So since she was a goddess she was able to gave birth to a minotaur that a regular human would not be able to.

"I can explain!" "I don't want you to." Solid gold line.

The funny thing is the reason Pasiphae needed the fake cow body Daedalus made was because the bull didn't want to have sex with her. She catfish a cow because it had standards!

That close up on Daedalus' face was hilarious. Man questioned his entire life right there.

I don't know why, but I really loved the jokes in this episode. Even more so than normally. They're just one banger after another.

To further the weirdness with cows, Europa's great-great-grandmother was Io, who was turned into a cow by Hera after being caught being Zeus' "lover"

The biggest prank Poseidon and Aphrodite pulled on humanity ever

Minotaur, the first furry

I read that Pasiphae and Circe were sisters. So I think that means she was an immortal sorceress also. That explains how she was able to give birth to the Minotaur and survive.

If I remember correctly Daedalus' was the father of Icarus and, after making the cow suit, both of them were imprisoned on the top of a tower. Daedalus studied the movements of birds to make a set of wings for Icarus out of feathers and wax. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too high, as the heat of the sun would melt the wax, but he didn't listen and wound up falling into the ocean.

Well this is it this the end of Jake being monetized

The character designs in this video were A++. I mean they’re always good but these are extra good. And baby Minotaur is h*ckin’ cute.

The soldiers using the Dendra armour made me happy : ) i've noticed that bronze age aesthethic you give to some of your greek characters and clothing and I find it fascinating really.

Talos: “I made a thingy! What do you think?” Daedalus: “Bitch what?” *proceeds to murder a child* 4:14

The way all the characters have your voice but still feel like different people is amazing This is one of my favorite videos, landing joke after joke 100/10 my man Keep up the amazing work

I'd like to see more on the Gods of Rome, along with their similarities and differences to the Greeks, as well as the Gods of the ancient celts, Etruscans & other Italic peoples, too!!

Fun fact Cadmus summoning soldiers out of teeth and chucking a rock to make them battle to the death was reused in story of Jason and the Argonauts

5:29 of Zeus is such a nice father... * looks at Persephone * sometimes

0:18 😂 THAT SCREAM

After having read Circe multiple times I think I forgot just how weird the original stories can be when you don’t have a grounded likable protagonist.

The most unreliable part of this story is Zeus asking consent at ‏‪3:14‬‏

Why did he he post the reminder 17 hours before its gonna be premiered 💀💀 Edit: 4:23 and 0:17 THE SCREAMS I CAN’T HELP IM DYINGGG 💀💀😭😭

The worst part is that minotaur despite being half bull was fully carnivoruous

Props to Pasiphae for commissioning the first murrsuit in history (For the uninitiated a murrsuit is a fursuit with appropriate holes for sexual activities.)

Fun fact for why Crete keeps coming up with Bulls: Crete's original bronze age civilization, the Minoan civilization, wasn't actually Greek at all, it was its own seperate society we know very little about. One things we do know, or at least think, is that bulls were very important to their religion, because we keep digging up ruins and finding frescoes with Bull iconography, most notably depictions of "bull leaping", with people jumping over bulls. It's possible that Minoan civilization is also where the 'Labyrinth' myth originated in the first place: The Minoan civilization had these massive fortress-palaces that would have been very maze-like, especially to Greek visitors who didn't know about the 'rules' for getting around them.

Maybe it's my fondness for cut screams but "Counter Hypothesis" sent me over the edge (pun ABSOLUTELY intended)

I like to believe Cadmus met Harmonia while working for her dad and Ares liked him so much just kinda went "Fuck it, you two should get married," after the servitude was over.

Pasiphae, the Cretan bull, and Asterion the minotaur. The first murrsuit (fursona with holes) and furry EVER.

I could be misremembering this, but the necklace Hephaestus gave Harmonia somehow ended up with Oedipus’ mother, which made her look young but caused all the nastiness involved in THAT story.

make the scream from 4:23 into a youtube short

So either Zeus loves Minos more than Athena (which I doubt), Athena decided that her father justly punished the city she founded, OR she just decided it was not her place to question her father's decisions.

1:37 Ares: *AND WHY AREN’T YOU IN UNIFORM*

4:24 got me crying

Knowing how Greek mythology is, we’re about to see some of the wackiest things known to man

When Circe was introduced in Fate, I discovered that Medea and the Minotaur are first cousins

The cut off screams were arguably the funniest parts of the video

i’ll be back in a few hours lol

Zeus's standards be like: "if she has a pulse..."

Daedelus did not build a maze. It was a labyrinth. A maze has at least 2 interconnected points of exit/entrance. A labyrinth has only one. In a labyrinth you get to the middle, do your thang and get out the same way you got in. A maze generally works like a troll bridge, preventing you from getting to the other side. (Dude. I get you. I'm just getting revenge because I'm not a native English speaker and in Portuguese we have just one word for both: "Labirinto" whether it's a maze or not, and I had to learn that difference the hard way) I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. PLEASE KEEP UP.

I love how Daedalus just helps Minos and his family. No matter how weird it is... Like sleeping like a bull- ehem.

Now we have the answer to "would you still love me if i was a worm", it's apparently becoming one as well.

"Hmm, interesting hypothesis. Counter-hypothesis," *pushes talos off a fucking cliff*

"In order to satisfy her zoophilic desires - i hate that i just said that -" Yeah, there's a lot of "kinky" stuff that i'm laissez-faire about, but zoophilia is one that i just can't accept. At least keep it to your own species, people.

The story of how Athens sends their own kids to die is the earliest example of that story trope. Like Battle Royale and the Hunger Games.

4:24 should be in a perfectly cut scream compilation

I mean turning into snakes and being entered into the Greecian version of Valhalla is pretty up there on "Fates that happen to people in Greek Myths" Like yeah they're snakes but theyre together, alive, and probably happy.

5:59 a "hero" in name only

This is clearly about KING MINOS & THE MINOTAUR!

It's really weird how often Bestiality happens in Greek Myth, and how often it includes Zeus or Poseidon.

Every time i watch one of Jake's videos it reminds me how strange and entertaining greek mythology really is. Also the look on Daedalus's face when he saw Pasiphae and the bull going at it was priceless.

3:53 i hate that you said that too

Cows are beautiful animals 🐮

I LOVE this series! Greek mythology has been a passion of mine for a long time. Thanks for starting my journey Jake!

imagine being banished from your home because you killed a child then later making a cow disguise for a girl because she wanted to be railed by a cow.

4:38 😂😂😂🤣🤣

I got my wish! Love how weird and messed up Crete is. Next time on Greek Mythology Z: will Icarus fly either too low, ruining his janky wings, or possibly too high, also ruining his janky wings?? Will his name get associated with hubris? Find out next time!

4:23 THIS HAS GOT ME DYING

I like to think Cadmus was given the city just because Zeus was like: "Just give him a city instead of his sister"

4:24 is DEFENETLY my top 2 jokes on this channel right after "MY JORDANS".... it might even have a chance for Top 1

Imagine jake covering how helen of troy was born

1:22 this whole bit reminds me of the story of Medea

I'm not sure how much of Canaanite mythology is preserved, but I'd be interested in seeing a version of the Baal Cycle

Another great video!! You truly polish your craft with every upload 😌

At 16 seconds into this video and I’m stuck laughing too hard to move on and have replayed it like 5 times already

Child wants to be great inventor* Daedalus:not on my watch!

The Phoenicians and Minoans using culturally appropriate clothing in this video (instead of Greek clothing) is very nice

I’m actually getting so excited right now because I’ve been wanting you to tell a story of Theseus and the Minotaur for so long but I’m also happy that I could hear Ariadne (and her love story between Dionysus if you cover that)

0:16 THIS GOT ME CRYIN OF LAUGHTER MAN

Another amazing video😊, keep the good work❤

You should cover Finnish mythology, it is pretty cool and underrated!

That scream at 4:23 almost killed me I was eating my spaghetti-Os

3:20 Is ultra unnacurate, Zeus wouldn't give a single flying fuck if she's down or not

My theory is that this myths we're created to try to explain why the Minoans we're so obsessed with bulls

So the Minotaur's step great uncle is a snake. Neat.

Just stumbled across this channel. And it's Hella great!! Awsome job bro. From the history to the drawings. Perfect.

I think this is your best video yet

I was literally JUST wondering when you were gonna post again

Although I do love the entire video, I think one of my favorite parts is Harmonia's happy little gasp at 2:08 after seeing the cake, too.

This channel is a riot. Kudos.

Will the Minotaur continue to claim lives? Will Minos sit unrivaled as the king of Crete? And do Cattle have any parental rights under greek law? Find out! In the next heart pounding episode of Greek Mythology Z!!

Zeus: "Dude, that chick has such big milkers that I'm gonna make her whole family story be all about cows."

"We'll call that a happy ending." For a given value of happy, sure.

The screaming is so perfect.

Oh wow a new video coming out right on my Birthday

When the happiest ending is being turned into a serpent along with your wife and go to live in the good version of the Underworld.

Each video I watch of this channel is better than the next!

0:03 An atractive person with a pulse*

'This family' has a weird relationship with anything that has legs

“I can explain! I don’t want you to” lmao😂😂😂

The way talos screamed. It had me cackling. And boy this talos isn’t a giant monstrous robot.

"I can explain " "i don't want you to "

I’m really happy you finally mentioned Minos , shit made my day.

I freaking love that cut off scream from Talos for some reason 😂😂

Europa screaming got me on the floor-

When I read the title, I knew you were talking about Minos

“I can explain.” “I don’t want you to.” LOLOLOL

that cut off from the scream 😂😂

I liked the fact that you portrayed the warriors, Myceneans, Minoans and Thebes itself in their historically accurate bronze age forms instead of transporting all Greek mythology into typical classical aesthetics. Well done

The number of perfectly cut screams in this video. /*Chef's Kiss*/ glorious.
