Prometheus - Origins - Extra Mythology - #1

Comments

`Wow. I'd never heard most of this. And now I see Lovecraft got some inspiration from Greek mythology. At least the Greek myth-makers didn't seem racist. Your telling suggests no one side was demonized. There were only winners and losers. And Zeus accepted the most different of beings as allies.

Bill Lemmond

In a short answer: Hercules was the child of Zeus and a human from the age of heroes who were different from the iron age people (which is what we would be). The best comparison would be saying Heracles's mom was a Neanderthal while Prometheus made Homo Sapiens. (It's a rough comparison but hopefully it conveys the point.)

Ryan Wojciechowski

Just to clarify--this episode (and the next 3 that will air about Greek mythology) were originally a milestone goal for the Extra History fans, and so we are sharing these early-access episodes on both communities as a way to say thanks. However, the episodes we produce later will remain as early-access rewards only to the Extra Mythology community.

Extra History

Ooh, love Mythology! But I can't really afford to be part of that Patreon as well as the Extra History. :/

Cindy Franklin

So wait, how was Heracles the son of Zeus and a mortal if Promethues hadn't made mortals yet?

Matt S

It’s a new Patreon.

Sean Sarff

I would like to submit this story for the midnight society

siberianbull9

Me too

Stephen Phillips

Prometheus, Odysseus, Perseus, Theseus. A lot of "yusses".

Thomas Alfred Weaver

Amazing video guys; narration was stellar and that artwork had me absolutely enthralled. 10/10

Ryan Wojciechowski

Aphrodite's place is very nebulous because some stories say she's actually the daughter of Atlas, and the Illiad puts her as the daughter of Zeus and a mortal.

Ryan Wojciechowski

I was wondering about that myself

Dan Ahn

I hope you at some point will talk about how trying to make a chronology out of Greek mythology is a completely useless task, since you'll just find several inconsistencies where people lived before they were born, or humans fighting monsters before humanity existed etc. Believe me, I have tried.

Jonathan Luoto

Wouldn’t Aphrodite be a Titan then? Also, if humans weren’t made yet, where did the Heroes come from?

Kitteninja

Question: if we are patrons here, do we still get the patron stuff for extra-mythology or do we need to be patrons there as well?

Herkles

YEAH! *Explodes with excitement*

Jacob Ashton

Pretty good opening.

Levi Whitney

Yes, that's better. 🙂

Martin Verran

Oh no! Try it again? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duzoedPyySk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duzoedPyySk</a>

Extra History

Man, I didn't realize this would be a whole new series. Amazing guys. This is exactly the type of content that makes me support this channel. Keep up the good work.

BrandonC

All I saw was a Black Video and the Sound of Matt's Voice. Something's gone wrong.

Martin Verran

Huh.... I was surprised to hear Aphrodite came to being before Zeus! Oh heck yeah! A collaboration with Gaijin Goombah somewhere down the line maybe? Which reminds me, I have to look up some Korean stuff!
