@@Rabid_Nationalist Good old Space X finally corrects this. Sad that most Americans, and school kids, know nothing about the current space program.

@@15jeam Isis actually had a rather heavy presence in early Greek life. Although not strictly from their culture, she had mysteries and followers all through the region.
I just laugh at how petty Hercules is that he tried to steal the oracle chair to the point Apollo had to come and be like "yo chill, it's my chair anyway" and Hercules just there arguing with him over taking the chair bcuz he can't get a prophecy. Hercules, the very first Karen 😂😂😂
Even more hillarious is the succession of deities jumping in the situation. Herc: takes away chair. Apollo: bro, what the hell. Herc yanks chair from Apollo Athena: bro, what the hell. Yanks chair from Athena. Zeus:if i have to go down there, you're all getting it!
@@erosdelcarpio5 In Greek, yes. The god had no direct Roman equivalent and so his name was merely Latinized as APOLLO. The same occurred with his son, Asklepios, whose name was Latinized as AESCVLAPIVS (in Latin _Aesculapius)._
Apollo was the third project, the first project was called Project Mercury followed by Project Gemini. Both are have no direct correlation with celestial body. Atleast the latest space program are called Project Artemis.
In a few versions of Marsyas and Apollo, Apollo was the one to challenge Marsyas because of how good he was at playing, and in the end when Apollo felt that he was losing he gave Marsyas that impossible task
When I think about Apollo I always remember that moment in the Percy Jackson books when he turned his golden chariot into a school bus to give his sister's hunters a ride to camp, a flying school bus that Thalia nearly crashed into Europe! And Apollo never flinched once, instead wouldn't shut up about haikus. 🤣🤣🤣
You knew I'd be here. Apollo is one of my favorite Gods in greek mythology. The chronicles that Riordan wrote really live up to him, and let's not forget Rocky's Apollo.
I was into Greek mythology, still am when I stumbled into Lore Olympus. Despite technically being the same I separate LO Apollo from the Greek version of Apollo because they’re different. Overly sarcastic’s channel helps.
In the Hellenistic period (323-30 BCE), when Egypt was ruled and settled by Greeks, Isis was worshipped by Greeks and Egyptians, along with a new god, Serapis.
@47 1776 thank you for adding this! that's exactly why I didn't second-guess my Isis typo. I knew that she had a place among the Greeks and had even read theories in my Apollo research that he was originally the god Osiris. Definitely wish I caught the mistake at least it's grounded in some actual history 😅
Jon's pointing out of the vast amounts of Apollo references in our modern era gave me a new perspective on a famous cinematic Apollo; that being of Apollo Creed from the "Rocky" series. Think about the way this film-story Apollo reference works out to hint at or imply of.
Ok hold up go back. I want more on the chair fiasco. Why has this never been any of the olympus based media that I've seen over the years? Its the funniest thing i've ever heard. Just, the mental image of the oracle laying on the ground pouting while herakles has one end of the chair and apollo and athena grab the other so they can play tug of war until daddy shows up to see what his children are up to. 10/10 comedy gold and I can't believe it's never been capitalized on
Jon mentioned Lore Olympus and now all I want is for him to break down ALL of the inspiration for that comic in like a five part series. 😆 Fantastic job as always good sir. 👍👍👍
Some messed up origins on Celtic gods like Branwen, Daughter of Llŷr or the horned god because I noticed you only really focus on Greek or Norse I would really like something like Japanese Indian or Celtic
Believe me when I say that Indian Myths will need to be a whole new series because it's a lot of gods and ground to cover. There are so many Gods for us because we worshiped anything we didn't get. But I agree with you.
I think Jon said something about waiting to cover other myths because otherwise it will get too much and too confusing for him (when he researches and creates his videos) and his viewers when he is in the middle of ,for example Norse, and he randomly comes out with a , for example, Japanese video. But it is a good series idea for in the future
Apollo: ok, for round two we gotta either sing or play upside down Marsyas: that is literally impossible for my instrument Apollo: oh well guess that means I win. Also, how dare you have skin.
So, hey, Jon, great video. Always have loved stories of ALL the different myths from various pantheons, and yes, I've HEARD of Apollo, but never knew extensively all the things about him you've talked about him in this video. Having said that, I would love to hear more about him in another video, maybe an "Apollo Extended" video, perhaps, as I'm sure there's plenty more you can tell. You have a great approach in the way you tell these stories, and I'd like to hear more. Thank you.
It's boring if I just repeat how constantly entertained, educated and informed I am by Mr Solo and team. So please regard this comment as a sacrifice to that most awesome of modern gods, TH-camAlgorithm.
Apollo is tied for my favourite god with Persephone. As a musician (and a bisexual) I appreciate a lot about him. Something that I love to talk about is apollos romances with men and women my favourite being Kyrene or Cyrene a famed huntress who wrestled a lion and had a romance with not only Apollo but also Ares, the god of war.
I worship persephone and I feel apollon reaching out to me. Ik they have a brief moment where apollo was a potential suitor for her, but beyond that I am not aware of whether or not they get along well. Do you have any thoughts on the matter?
I love how yall are so into mythology is not a popular subject so I don't talk about it but it sure as he'll is interesting I've been intrigued for years now since high school it's rare someone actually is into it or even knows about it.
Ngl I was about to troll and comment on the previous post “where it at? it’s been a day sir”, but you go super in depth with these videos so we all have to respectfully wait. Lol
11:29 is the same scene from Disney’s Hercules. When Danny Devito’s character chases the nymph which turns into a tree upon being captured... “a lot of ‘Yusses”
6:07 - I fucking love how whole scene looks when visualized, pissed off Hercules yanking chair, oracle yelling, Apollo and Athena trying to take chair back and wrestling with Hercules, Zeus yelling at everyone - a great representation of how big multigenerational families that were blessed with hot temper can sometime be
the funniest characterization of Apollo was in Young Hercules. In a Flashback story on "Hercules: the Legendary Journeys" We see a College Age Apollo, and he's running a Frat House type Temple. he also uses a sunbeam as a skateboard and just flies around like a California Surfer Dude.
Apollo has always been my favorite god because I do theater, singing, poetry, archery, and other things, and I named myself after Apollo and Helios (My name is Elio meaning Sun or Sunlight).
My mom's dog is named Apollo and he is a ray of sunshine and knows how to heal you when you've had a bad day. He can even sing when he heard my sister's trumpet playing.
I think you should compile all of this and create your own animation of the gods that u think haven’t gotten enough credit or even the ones we all love🤷🏼♂️

I think what grinds my gears is how people hate “Lore Olympus” because it’s not “true to the mythos” when Rachel the creator literally says it’s her own rendition of the comic, there’s so many versions of the myths which is why I love every different one because it’s a lot to take in from one character but different versions of who they could have been. Anyway loved the video lol
Well there are people who wourship the greek godss, and some Lore Olympus fans attacked, and sent death threats to them, especially those who primarily wourship Apollo, because of the portray of him on the comic, but I heard about people who got hate, and death threats from them, because they favourite greek god is Apollo. Yes there are different version of every myth, but I think some Lore Olympus fans are uncaplebol to get this, and I think, this toxicity is one of the reasons why people started to hate Lore Olympus. To be clare I read a few chapters from it, but it's just not for me, and I have no problem if someone enjoy the comic, my only problem is the behavior that I mentioned. (Sorry for the grammar, and spelling mistakes, english is not my first language)
@@Alexandraadftxr7052 oh ya I’m not on social media enough where I see stuff like that happening…That’s disrespectful and pure evil to do that to anyone who thinks differently then you, but it goes to show what kind of audience reads what
Yes, it is her own rendition and she is allowed to do what she wants with it, just like people are allowed to find her storyline incoherent and absurd and her portrayal of gods and myths ridiculous, offensive and completely devoid of any meaningful connection with the source material.
Dont like it because of how it under sells the power of Zeus like every other story hes in like I still dont get how Persephone is able to beat cronos and tame tartarus a primordial deity like dog if anything zeus should kick his fathers ass but no I just dont get these stories cronos escapes and is multiple times stronger than when he was free and zeus is weaker or not any stronger than back then
Jon, I can't thank you enough for the shout out of Lore Olympus. It's my favourite Web Comic and it's so well written. Also it probably ruined my perseption of Apollo for good lol.
Same, like even tho Apollo wasn’t worse than any of the other gods in real mythology, now when he comes up I can’t help the rage that builds up. I was also so happy he brought it up, I’m so happy for the author gaining so much recognition. I even found some lore Olympus buttons at hot topic, I have one of the cordon bleu panel where it has the “*un-airy silence*” caption
I love this series. Have been looking for a decent Mythology book forever, none of Amazon selections carried what I wanted. Can anyone recommend a good title? I still love watching this series.
Stephen Fry has written some great books on Greek mythology! He takes some creative liberties but for the most part he tells the stories accurately and always with a lot of fun bits of trivia thrown in there. You can experience a tremendous amount of the myths we’ve discovered just by reading those. Hope that helps :)
Hyacinthus is Apollo's male lover to those of you who don't know and Mozart actually made a stage version of their story lol. He's also my Greek God according to BuzzFeed quizzes so there's that ahaha

In the version I read Hercules was chasing the Oracle with the intent to beat her senseless and Apollo had to step in like “dude! What that fuck!?!”
The legend of Apollo and Hyacinthus is by far one of my favorites.
Yeah, at least he actually recognized that they were lovers, instead of censuring or modifying it like many people do...
The image of Hercules straight up swinging a sacred chair at the oracle of Delphi like a drunk frat boy will always be hilarious to me.
Even more hillarious is the succession of deities jumping in the situation.
Herc: takes away chair.
Apollo: bro, what the hell.
Herc yanks chair from Apollo
Athena: bro, what the hell.
Yanks chair from Athena.

If I'm not mistaken, Apollo is the only god that has the same name in both Greek and Roman mythology.

For some reason Apollo and Helios were combined into one deity. After watching this, it kind of makes sense. I had always believed that Apollo was the God of Light instead of the God of Sunlight.
So if they had to get isis to help with Apollo’s birth does that mean the Gods and Goddess’s of all of the pantheons are aware of each other
I guess so. In the myth of Typhon, the gods transformed into animals and escaped to Egypt in order to escape the monster (Typhon of course)
He meant to say iris not isis.
@@Tsukune2001 In the Hellenistic period (323-30 BCE), when Egypt was ruled and settled by Greeks, Isis was worshipped by Greeks and Egyptians, along with a new god, Serapis.
Ah I love it when my newly discovered favorite channel mentions my favorite WEBTOON (Lore Olympus) in a video.
When he mentioned LO, I lost it. I rarely see it mentioned anywhere & I am obsessed w it’s modern retelling.
I think what grinds my gears is how people hate “Lore Olympus” because it’s not “true to the mythos” when Rachel the creator literally says it’s her own rendition of the comic, there’s so many versions of the myths which is why I love every different one because it’s a lot to take in from one character but different versions of who they could have been. Anyway loved the video lol
Well there are people who wourship the greek godss, and some Lore Olympus fans attacked, and sent death threats to them, especially those who primarily wourship Apollo, because of the portray of him on the comic, but I heard about people who got hate, and death threats from them, because they favourite greek god is Apollo. Yes there are different version of every myth, but I think some Lore Olympus fans are uncaplebol to get this, and I think, this toxicity is one of the reasons why people started to hate Lore Olympus. To be clare I read a few chapters from it, but it's just not for me, and I have no problem if someone enjoy the comic, my only problem is the behavior that I mentioned. (Sorry for the grammar, and spelling mistakes, english is not my first language)
@@Alexandraadftxr7052 oh ya I’m not on social media enough where I see stuff like that happening…That’s disrespectful and pure evil to do that to anyone who thinks differently then you, but it goes to show what kind of audience reads what
Yes, it is her own rendition and she is allowed to do what she wants with it, just like people are allowed to find her storyline incoherent and absurd and her portrayal of gods and myths ridiculous, offensive and completely devoid of any meaningful connection with the source material.
@Omnia Vanitas okay
Dont like it because of how it under sells the power of Zeus like every other story hes in like I still dont get how Persephone is able to beat cronos and tame tartarus a primordial deity like dog if anything zeus should kick his fathers ass but no I just dont get these stories cronos escapes and is multiple times stronger than when he was free and zeus is weaker or not any stronger than back then
Can't wait for your Sagittarius video coming up.
Jon, I can't thank you enough for the shout out of Lore Olympus.
It's my favourite Web Comic and it's so well written.
Also it probably ruined my perseption of Apollo for good lol.
Same, like even tho Apollo wasn’t worse than any of the other gods in real mythology, now when he comes up I can’t help the rage that builds up. I was also so happy he brought it up, I’m so happy for the author gaining so much recognition. I even found some lore Olympus buttons at hot topic, I have one of the cordon bleu panel where it has the “*un-airy silence*” caption
thats abit biased I wouldnt call lo a well written
Yes yes yes I LOVE Lore Olympus’ spin on Apollo’s character
I love this series. Have been looking for a decent Mythology book forever, none of Amazon selections carried what I wanted. Can anyone recommend a good title?
I still love watching this series.
Stephen Fry has written some great books on Greek mythology! He takes some creative liberties but for the most part he tells the stories accurately and always with a lot of fun bits of trivia thrown in there. You can experience a tremendous amount of the myths we’ve discovered just by reading those. Hope that helps :)
Awwww Gunther's little face!!! gotta love him!!!
I really need you to do a godly weapon episode lol I think it would be cool
Real is real, i really truly do love your intro's music
Don't mind me... just a simple fan of Apollo Justice... who surprisingly has quite little in common with the Greek God lol
And the ballet.
The ballet Apollo is amazing, and beautiful.
Wait there’s a ballet?
Hyacinthus is Apollo's male lover to those of you who don't know and Mozart actually made a stage version of their story lol. He's also my Greek God according to BuzzFeed quizzes so there's that ahaha
He had a man lover didn't know.
Nice vid as always
There’s also “Apollo’s Belt”. Although some people refer to it as “Adonis’ Belt”. And other people refer to it as something completely different, lol
Well done young man, well done
I didn't know Apollo was such a savage!!
All Greek and Roman gods are savage, by compared to modern times. much like the cultures that worshiped them
Me neither 😆😆
