A new baby just gets born
Kronos: "You gonna eat that?"
Looks like Kronos want some baby back ribs.
lol
IM SCREAMING 😂😂😂☠☠
JusticeGraceful noice
This is the first comment I see! Lmfao! Well played, my friend!
😂😂 "And rumor has it, even telemarketers stopped harassing people for a while"
That was one hell of an era. I wish I could’ve seen it.
Why couldn't I have been born in that time period?
😂😂😂
I dont believe it, they are more insistent and evil than Kronos, and he ate his own children..... lol
The good old days.
My suggestion for the next video? The many Romances of Zeus
Totally. Tht wld make 4 a hellova episode.
He needs to cover the story of hecate considering he completely ignored her part in the story of hades and even in the creation of the universe as she was one of the children of chronus
And his billions and I mean billions of kids, which is way to many to count
It's pretty messed up. Sounds like good video material.
@@NeloBladeOfRanni
Hekate is the daughter of Perses and Asteria, sister of Leto. She's Artemis and Apollon's cousin.
Honestly I love how the Greek mythology kinda just connects, like everyone is related somehow
the more you look at it the less it connects cleanly tho, myths usually have many many versions woth many things changed in each, who does what changes often, greek myths do this a lot, the theogony, was Hesiod's attempts to glue the pieces together. im not doubtful he had to make many of his own bridges here
Heh
Great author hesiod was
That's because of the amount of incest 😅 haha it's all grape, incest, murder.
"Hey Buddy it's not a clown car". LOL. Great video!
LMFAO!!! I can't help but picture an extreme pregnant belly...you know, like those pictures people with extreme pregnancy fetishes draw? Poor Gaia lol...I would've killed him if he forced the kids back inside my uterus oh hell no!!!!
This is messed up
One of my favourite stories of Zeus, is the one where he and his brother Poseidon were fighting over thetis and Prometheus told them of the prophecy that the son of thetis will be greater than his father which made them change their mind and stop fighting about her. It always never fails to make me laugh whenever i remember it. I just have an image of Zeus going "nah fam, im good" and walking off 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes I love Greek/Roman mythology! Thank you Jon for this wonderful video
i can so agree with you!
Me to
Yooo same!!!
Yes, I am messed up.... and I like. messed up stuff
I agree 1000000%
Zeus raised by Nymphs.... that explains SO MUCH! Also would love to see one of these based on the Enuma Elish, now THATS a messed up creation myth....
Omg true
I was just thinking this!!!
Ah what does it explain?
@@omarsalem1219 The word Nymph is where we get the term Nymphomaniac from (aka someone that is obsessed with 'mating'). And considering Zeus 'mated' with anything and everything he could grab (Gods/Demi-Gods/humans/animals). It's a good bet that he got those tendencies from the nymphs. ;P
Lol, a strong wahmen.
So I'm not the only one who heard wahmen! Lol
That part threw me off so bad XD
Exactly like who gon tell em 😂
Laughed so hard!!
Ken Hollis lol
"Geia was considerd the mother of all things beuatiful"
Me:guess she's not my mom
Underrated comment
@@youngoutlaws3070 fr
Yeah she was most definately not lol
Pls don't get offended it's a joke
Same here
Well she also birthed all of the monsters /j
I'm Greek and I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Your research is good and accurate and I love your enthusiasm about ancient cultures. Keep it up !
Yeah.. He respect our culture.. I have see people say Greek myth are just fiction like comics are when it was a religion and a part of our history 😢💔
@@anna.owo. the Greek beliefs are still practised to this day by many pagans such as myself even though he's completely ignored the Queen of the witches as one of the gods
@@anna.owo. did you play god of war 3
I have play and is just a game so what? Well I am atheist but I respect all religions.. Well maybe he made a video about her
Anna Mrl - I’m not Greek but I’m a classics student, that just goes against what I’m taught :(( In mythology, we’re taught from the get-go that these were MYTHS, not fairytales. Believed to be real, believed to be the truth and the best way to analyze myth is through the same lens. I feel that frustration
Jon: my favorite god is zues
Athena: time to die
Zeus*
Athena need some d and to stop being a karen
I really feel that athena is a lesbian
@@lovers_house2948 nope she's asexual

Its 4am and instead of sleeping im watching Jon solo I ain't mad tho
scoobert doobert it’s 7:10 A.M. for me.
5:30 for me
2pm for me👀
9:02pm and I live in America
This came out at 7 for me...
Great first episode! I love the many interpretations of mythology that exist honestly, I think this series is gonna be epic.
As a side note, the stories I've heard of Typhon were hella chaotic. Typhon was designed to be stronger than the gods and a more than equal match for Zeus. He was taller than the highest mountain, had great wings, and over a thousand heads that all screamed and roared different animal sounds and languages. The guy was terrifying. All the other Olympians noped the hell out but Zeus stayed behind cause he wasn't about to lose all bis hard work for some giant dragon monstrosity. So they fought for months, destroying everything, till Typhon got the upper hand and ripped out Zeus's tendons and ran away to a cave to recover. Story varies a bit here but the version I like has Pan and Hermes come to check in on Zeus and only to find him flopped on the floor unable to move. They then start forming a plan to get the tendons back. They run into this young hero named Cadmus (he was in the middle of looking for his sister Europa whom Zeus had kidnapped awhile back. He was very unsuccessful) who they convince to go past Typhon's cave playing a pan pipe. Typhon is entranced by the music and begs him to continue and he says "Ya know I'd play a lot better on my lyre but all my strings snapped" and Typhon gives him Zeus's tendons/sinews to string it with. So he does and he plays a song that lulls Typhon to sleep and he sprints off to Zeus and all three of them put his tendons back in. His divineness heals him and he surprise attacks Typhon and defeats him
Woah
if I remember right typhon also stole his thunder bolt before they fought leaving zeus with Cronus scythe
Man I love Greek and Roman mythology. Probably why I love Percy Jackson and the heroes of Olympus series
The movies were good too, I wish they'd continued it :( I should read the books!
Son of Poseidon
YESSSSS
WHO ELSE IS EXCITED FOR THE NEW PJO SIRIES ON DISNEY+
@@Saphireraven13 yesssssss
Jon I love this series already! I’m a HUGE mythology nerd and I appreciate all the research you did on this project. I’m very seriously considering become a Patron. I have a huge “internet friend” crush on you, so be warned lol. Wait... was that creepy? Oh well. Keep up the good work 💙
Everyone: *sleeping*
Me: (4 AM) Ehhh who needs sleep, sleep is for the weak 😂😂😂
Like a boss.
"We will never sleep cause sleep is for the weak and we will never rest til we're all fucking dead" -BMTH-
Eh, sleep is for the mentally well-balanced.
It around 4 am and this is what I am doing
I quite like sleeping thank you very much!!! :P
I just found out that the story behind Thomas the Tank Engine is pretty dark so that might be worth looking into
Jake Spivey The creator of the books made the series to entertain his son, because the son was dying.

I always love learning new things about Greek mythology
Same :)
I would love to see you do a messed up origins for the addams family and maybe after that do some background stories on each of the family members
You are my absolute favorite youtuber and every time you post I'm ecstatic I love the messed up series :)

I am so excited for this series Jon Solo! I love your Disney Explained series and only found you by accident but I've been addicted since I came across the videos a few weeks ago. Keep up the awesome work!!
OverlySarcasticProductions crossover when--?
Also, may I request some Asian myths? No one really does that....well besides OSP
Can't wait!!!
Check out the channel Linfamy for Japanese myths
Nah b, some Mayan and Aztec ones. I haven’t seen anyone talk about them
Holy shit yeah, Aztec and Mayan would be good too!
East and South East Asian myths
"Wahmen" that part was funny lmfao 😂
-also plz make a video about Zues and how he had so much children
He had many children because he's a notorious womanizer
I love your videos so much❤️❤️
Also can you please do the creation of the world according to Egyptian mythology??
I love Egyptian mythology!!
Hana Dorgham yes! That would be amazing
I named my stuffed snake/neck pillow Apophis...
I don't usually leave comments on TH-cam, but I've recently found your channel and I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos, and I'm so glad you've decided to make a series dedicated to mythology! It's so fascinating to go beyond the surface and see how everything connects. Thank you for the time you put into your research and your videos!
Hey thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the content. So much more to come :)
OMG I love mythology and I love you for doing this I know all most every myth Greek and Roman this fill my soul
As a Dane with a great appreciation for the Nordic mythology, I can’t wait for you to cover the Nordic songs and myths! You always do great research, so I’m sure you will even suprise me with some nuggets of information 😊 love what you do, much respect from Denmark!
Id LOVE to see a video on the origins of the Swan Princess story!
I LOVE that movie!!! It'd be great to see an origin story for that :O
Just wanted to add that it is absolutely amazing to me how much time energy and research you put into every single one of your episodes.... And your delivery is mesmerizing ....truly I hope you know how much your content is loved and appreciated.... Thanks for all that you do.... Lots of love 💖 and great big hugs 🤗 from Ohio!!!!
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Greek gods: I N C E S T
I love the way your explain this AND how much effort you put into researching it.
This was such a cool idea for an episode!!!! Keep up the great work.👍💙
The fact that one of the five ages of man is included in this (I'm working on a research paper involving it) brings so much satisfaction 😊🤗 Great work on the video!
you are quickly becoming one of favorite channels to visit. keep up the awesome work.
Ah, the most messed up origin of them all...
*Us*
I’ve always been intrigued with Greek mythology, I’m so glad this is a thing on your channel now 😁
I can’t wait to see what’s next!

I love mythology, so this is such a treat. Please do more in the future.
Tbh, I've read and watched so much stuff about Greek Mythology. But I absolutely love watching videos about it cause I always ended up learning something new. I had no idea about the book the Greek religion and culture were sourced from. Thank you
I'm SO exited for this!!! I'm super intrested in Mythology and you exsplain things SUPER well!! Thank you for this new series!!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited about this series! Thank you so much for sharing.
I love a good look into mythology. Always cool to see how someone else thought. Look forward to checking out future installations!
man, ive had this in my watchlist for ages. so glad i got round to it!
Can you please do more of these? it's so interesting.😍😎
BTW 💓💖😻💚💛💜💙❤ your videos.
You are one of my favorite people! I love watching your videos and learning from you!
Maybe you can do an episode on the trickster archetype? Like, comparing different examples of tricksters from various cultures such as Loki, Hermes, the coyote, Anansi and so on, and discussing their place in their respective mythos and what not
Hearing that word "Hey buddie, it's not a clown car" from Jon Solo makes me laugh lol 🤣🤣🤣👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Loved this. You should do folklore from different countries, more specifically a story or mythical creatures that each is known for. That would be so intriguing.
Great work as allways! I would love to see more videos about this topic
Hell Yea Man!!! I’m sure many people recommended this but it feels like you took my suggestion!! I love you so much man ❤️
YES JON SOLO YOU ALWAYS HAVE IMPECABLE TIMING LOL! Have a happy Friday! 💜💜💜💜💜
Another great video but this was a really great video I love the direction of your channel....please NEVER stop lol.
Hey bro I’m here for this. I went to college for history so I’m excited to see how well you do with these stories. Great job!
I love this! You should do Egyptian mythology next because that’s also really interesting. This was an amazing video and I’m so glad you started this series!
Even telemarketers stopped bothering people for a while 🤣🤣🤣🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
your video about hercules's labor saved me a lot of time on research for my school project
and i watched all your other videos ever since especially the messed up origin, keep up the great work
Intresting topic and we'll delivered to say the least keep up the great work
So happy you have started this segment up! It is going to be fun.
Hey Jon I 100% love this and I know this probably won’t come until later, but could you do a history on Medusa? Thanks :)
I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers. I bloody love world mythology especially Greek mythology. Always a fan, keep up the good work.
Love mythology explained, keep up the good work 😉
From Messed Up Origins of Disney and folklore... To Messed Up Origins of ourselves.. Yay ! This was one ride I was waiting for. Thank u Jon

You got 69 likes on this i feel bad ruining the number lmao
I feel like you should go into more of Egyptian mythology and explain more of that I'm a very big fan
I know the reason I didn't click this when it first came out was I didn't know what specifically it was about.
The title was too broad... But I watching now!
Binging your greek mythology videos by rewatching from your first to most recent makes me so happy seeing the progress you have made especially from your streaming environment.😁 I hope your content continues growing and reaching more persons, also that you continue to provide us with great,fun and informative content and wishing you and your family all the best in life.🎉😁
Jon please do a video about 1001 Arabian nights next. I think that would be really interesting!
LOVING THIS SERIES SO FAR
Jon can I please call you bae? 😍
PS. Greetings from Egypt ur Fandom here (yes my friend and i started a fanclub for u) love ur content and humor! 😍
Keep it up my dude!
Nah he has a wife who wouldn’t like it if you called him bar
Sorry I meant Bae
I love learning about new cultures and ideas whether they are from the past or rather someone made them up.
My favorite story that you covered with Sun, Moon and Talia; I often refer your channel to others who share the idea that learning the true origins of stories is fun or those who like to see the messed up side of life, I am always excited whenever you release new videos because I don't get to see and learn things that I never knew. I am a solo fan for life even if I miss a week's worth of videos I always seek out your videos and re-watch everything. Your TH-cam channel is not only entertaining but educational and that is why I will always be your dedicated fan for life.
Solo fan forever!!!
It's interesting to see the mesh-up of Greek & Roman myth/lore in this. Greek: Hermes, Aphrodite, Aries, Zues. Roman: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter. Eros is the Roman version of the Greek Cupid. Those were just from the top of my head. I don't know who the Greek versions of Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune are. Of course, Pluto doesn't count...or does he? They keep changing it. Nor do I know who the Roman versions of Discord, Athena, or Hera are.
DOH! I just realized that I forgot Neptune is Poseidon. Of course, I don't know the Roman version of Hades, either.
Actually, Eros is Greek. Cupid is Roman...Saturn is Kronos and Pluto is Hades. The Roman form of Athena is Minerva and the Roman form of Hera is Juno.
Apollo is Apollo and Artemis is Diana
@@alakaprashanth5143
I forgot I even wrote my comment. I realized (just after I commented...while doing something else) that I knew about Pluto being Hades. Although, I didn't know about the other three. Thanks!
Also, I'll probably get the Cupid/Eros thing wrong again. I seem to always mix those two up.
@@stephaniegagne3376
There can only be ONE Apollo.
**Queen's song "Princes of the Universe" starts playing**
@@XL.Pumpkaboo an easy way to remember is GrEek and Eros. Both have a distinct E syllable. Therefore, Eros is Greek 🤷🏾♀️
That "John shot first" killed me. 😂 looking foward to this greek series. I am OBSESSED with greek myths! Love your channel ^^
YAASSS THAT PERCY JACKSON CONTENT 😂
Every tribe of people have their own creation story. I hope you continue this series of videos as they are all so fascinating. Thank you Jon!
Looking forward to Egyptian mythology!
At my highschool I study Greek and Latin. I have always been very interested in the mythology so I am really happy that one of my favoirite TH-camrs is covering this subject.
It's 4:07am, I should be sleep... *but I'm not, so here I am*
for this whole quarantine I've been BINDGE watching all your videos back to back, love it
3:01 - You do know that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has appropriated Tartarus as the prison for their worst villains, right?
when i was 5-7 i loved my little pony ( my fav is pinkie pie) lol
@@cherylbleecker5653 bro same
Teeeeth!!!!!! That was one wild trainwreck of a movie! I couldn't stop watching it. No one has ever understood any references I've made to it before. Thank you! Now I know it wasn't some weird AF dream lol.
12:23 Hesiod to greek Methology is like how the Russo Brothers is to the Marvel comic.... think about it... or Kevin Feige
I know a lot about Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Norse mythology. I'm so excited that Jon is doing this now.
Great work always hit the like button :)
I have always loved Hreek and Roman mythology. I would love if you did more content on the subject 💜
Could you please do a series on mythological creatures and beings like gnomes, gouls, ghost, vampires, ogers, trolls, elves, etc. I would love to see how theese play in to our folklore and folktales
you’re such a good story teller! this was super interesting to me because i have previously learned all my greek mythology from percy jackson😅
I've seen/ read so many versions of the same story.... Sometimes it's hard to know which story is the real one.
Good lord. I love your videos, but Greek mythology/theology is one of my favorite topics. This was so unexpected! I can’t wait to see more from you
You should clarity thay this is the Greek origins of the universe
Yep, I was expexting multiple mythologies
Guys, it’s literally entitled, The GREEK Creation Story! What’s to clarify?

Can someone explain to me ........ How this channel is SSOOOO undersubbed ??? Every time I watch one of these videos it shocks the crap out of me that he doesn't have 1M AT LEAST !!
I'm not sure if people understand that it is so much more then fairy tales or if they think this is a Disney channel or what?. What I do know is I enjoy this channel SO MUCH the stories you THINK you grew up with are so much more brutal !!! They have been reworked and mis-told so many time its crazy.
Thank. You
Jon Solo
that's a lot
I read the almost exact version of this story in a mixed mythology book, even the picture where rhea is giving a rock covered baby to cronus is the same
I've been watching your videos sporadically for months but after found you're series on Norse creation i devoted to subscribe, so now I'm going back and watching your full library. At least until i find my copy of The Son of Neptune.
My favorite god is Poseidon. He is actually the most powerful of the gods, about 80% of the earth is covered by water and he is the god of the sea. In fact, zeus poseidon and hades are pretty much equally strong
Have you read the Homeric epics? What about Hesiod's Theogony?
