26:15 So Midas was specifically blessed by Dionysius. When Midas asked for the Gold Touch, Dionysius says "That's a bad idea". Midas' wasn't tricked, he was just a bit short-sighted. He wouldn't need "Get out of jail" clause, he'd just need to stop asking for dumb things. He could have said "Give me the power to turn whatever I choose into Gold" and Dionysius would have given that. But Midas asked "Everything I touched" and ignored the warnings on how that was a really dumb thing to ask for.
In one animated version he gets so desperate to get rid of his powers he's like ILL SALE MY SOUL FOR A CHEESEBURGER! Paraphrasing a bit but ya get the idea. No daughter in this one.

In the Muppets version, Kermit-as-King-Midas accidentally turned *himself* into gold.
@@meb4224 that's a very clever way of letting the audience know that Kermit touches himself 👀
On a related note: no one ever seems to mention the other glaring issue with Midas' wish, which is that it completely devaluates gold, thus defeating the whole purpose of his power. He'd be constantly bringing new gold in the world, it wouldn't take long before everyone and their dog had a metric fuck ton of gold, and it would no longer hold any value.
I don't even know if it was that bad of a curse, atleast if a quick Google search is to be trusted, the power was only in his hands and some site even mentioned that gloves were able to prevent his power. So the fact he was starving was just due to his own stupidity.

I completely forgot about it. It's great.
The funny thing about Socrates is, that he was a Hoplite - a type of soldier carrying a huge spear and shield into battle. Apparently, he was fucking ripped, which explains why people didn't just punch him out when his philosophic inquiries were starting to get on their nerves. Basically, imagine you are just walking around, minding your business, and suddenly young Arnold Schwarzenegger blocks your path and starts aggressively questioning you about the nature of justice or some shit. That's what an encounter with Socrates was like, in a nutshell.
Now I want to see that firsthand
That honestly adds so much to his story haha
So, one of the oldest registered Nerd bullies?
Honestly, I feel like I'd do that at the bar if I was huge and ripped. It's like real world trolling, but more insightful.

The fact hades wasn’t pulling a trick was kinda amazing, minus making the guy think he was being tricked...which made him fall for his own impulses..damn that’s a good trick
I mean, despite what the Disney movie says, Hades was honestly kind of the only well adjusted God in the Greek pantheon. He wasn't a bad guy really at all, and was mostly just strict on his rule of people not coming back from the dead. Someone had a really good comment talking about that this story was less about Hades falling in love with Eurydice, and it was more in line with him being strict on his rule of "no one comes back to life".
@@PANCAKEMINEZZ The greek gods are humanized.
So most of them are ***s and hades is that one fair guy that is percieved as bad for following the book.
Also the whole "let people come back from the dead"
Like bruh
Don't hassle the guy about fundamental circle of life stuff especially when your whole thing is "i can play a gay harp"
Except if it was a trick then looking or not looking would have had the same result: she wouldn't have been there. If it wasn't a trick then looking would cause her to disappear and not looking would cause her to come back to life. It would have been logical to not look to maintain the 50% chance of success rather than to look with a 100% chance of failure, so really the guy was just bad at probability.
Batman gambit.
The story of David and Bathsheba (the bathing woman) is even more messed up than they mentioned. David actually got her pregnant, tried to get the guy to go home and sleep with his wife so he'd think it's his kid, but the guy was too loyal to his army regiment or whatever and refused to go home till the war was over. So David wrote a letter to have the guy put on the front lines and have everyone else step back to make absolutely certain the man would be killed, and then *had the man deliver the letter ordering his own execution*
I think David might be a baddie...

I think one of the funniest parts of the Orpheus myth as a whole is that Hercules has a myth where he goes down to hades and brings a guy's wife back from the dead just to apologize for being a bad houseguest.

The most inaccurate thing in this was Hades taking a second wife.
Unlike 99% of the Greco-Roman pantheon (including his brothers), Hades was actually loyal to Persephone
Except for that one time with the nymph Minthe
And the girl that became poppy trees.
True about Minthe and the Poppy girl, but considering the rest of the pantheon, it still puts his loyalty fairly high

I went through the game Hades for the first time not too long ago and coming across Orpheus and Eurydice was the funniest experience ever because I could only picture both as Ordinary Things and IH
I think the King David story is way more interesting, relating to the human condition in detail. He's smitten with the woman, she explains she's married, but her husband is away fighting a war for David. They sleep together anyways, as he is the king and can pretty much get what he wants. She informs him later that she's pregnant. David freaks out because it'd be a huge scandal, so he recalls the husband from the army to come personally to him as a messenger. Husband is so gung-ho, even though David insists he stay in town and rest before returning to battle, he refuses to go to the comfort of his own home because he knows his friends are out there fighting and dying.
So he returns to battle without seeing his wife, thwarting David's plan to pawn the kid off as being legitimate, he figures the next course of action will be to send orders to the guy's squad that they are to push deep into enemy territory, engage in battle, and when the odds are stacked against them, abandon the husband to die. When word reaches David that the deed has been done, he makes a show of how he had warned the man not to overextend near the enemy's walls.
A story of adultery, mischief, and the assassination of an innocent man because power corrupts.

For anyone interested: Nathaniel Hawthorne was an extremely able scholar of Latin and Greek. He wrote The Wonder Book for Boys and Girls and its sequel, Tanglewood Tales, as modern versions of classic myths for children. It was quite a task to create an original translation of ancient myths in the 1800's, and he was one of the first writers to adapt these myths specifically for children. The tales are uniquely accurate to the original myths because Hawthorne could read, speak, and compose in the original Latin and Greek. The books sold like hotcakes. They were akin to the Percy Jackson series if Riordan had the highest quality learning available to man and was a certifiable literary genius.

Why didnt Orpheus just tell his wife to poke him in the back to prove she was still there? So many loopholes, Hades, man
@Stella Hohenheim well it’s either that or no zombie sex.
And he chose poorly
Probably sarcasm, but Euridiki didn't have a physical form while in Hades. In most version's of the story, Orpheys had absolutely no idea she was behind him, there was no light, and he couln't grab her hand. He turned once he saw light, because he missed her so much, and well. . . .
he should've used a mirror or put a gps tag on her
Someone else said it but Orpheus's physical form was taken from him to get through the realm of hades. It's more like he awoke from a sleepwalking dream.
At some point Orpheus's senses start returning to him, and he can't even tell if he's able to speak to communicate to her. When he begins seeing the blinding light of the Mortal realm, he's forced to avert his gaze and instantly is overwhelmed by his desire to see his wife. He glaces before he has time to think, and the first thing he can physically see again is his wife being pulled back to hades. He basically caught a glance and she immediately was sucked into a black void.
Basically he went insane seeing something so abstractly horrifying that he had no way to portray it. He lost his muse, and nowthe constantly replaying memory of his wife being dragged to hell because of his failure, became his only inspiration.
The music he played, which I think was Orpheus bashing his instrument with a rock slowly in a constant rhythem, caused people to go insane. I believe his music had some supernatural quality, so he was unintentionally giving people visions of hades, and that drove them to literally rip him apart.
If you give me constant, rhythmic visions of hell nonstop, I'll probably kick your nuts at the least.
He would have heard her stop bitching on the way back.
This is probably the best “retelling” of the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.

They missed one of the best parts of the Socrates story. He was so obnoxious in presenting his case when he was to be executed, that more people voted for his execution than voted for a guilty verdict. He actually changed jurors minds into hating him after he was found guilty, because he went on a 30 minute tirade about how everyone was an idiot except him.
In the end, he was right.
@@BattletoDeath course he was, imagine thinking the lowest common denominator is ever right Lmao
He was the original neckbeard
Considering he was 72, was being out on trial for "corrupting" the city's youth by encouraging them to think and question things, I strongly suspect he knew the gig was up for him as a philosopher, so he goaded everyone into killing him rather than back down and live the rest of his life in shame.
Bloke was a fuckin' dude, basically.
Also, the ancient Greeks didn't have the frankly peculiar notion about the sanctity of life that we do, in that you should cling to it forever, despite the indignities and degradation heaped upon you until you're sat in a pile of your own shit and need some impoverished carer to clean you up and spoon gruel down your throat because you don't even know who you are any more.
For the ancient Greeks, dignity was more important than life, so Socrates's actions actually make perfect sense.
