It is sad when your horse is more famous than you.
Diomedes can feel sory for this, as well
Lol
Bellerophon actually has an amazing story. Shame they didn't talk about it more.
i blame bayblades for that one.
The Minotaur is also more famous than the hero. [x]
Perseus had the best ending of all heroes because all heroes ended with tragedy including Hercules.....but Perseus is the strong and lucky hero.....
Hercules did become a god and joined the Olympians. Hera forgave him and he even got to marry the Beautiful goddess of youth.
Odysseus also had a happy ending, retiring in his kingdom for a long time.
@@rimurutempest4945 Yup Odysseus also had a great ending ...
@@MusaMansu But he had an absolute horrible death and life
@@croonie17 Sure, but he still got to live forever and married the goddess of youth in the end.
My four year old: "My favorite character is Achilles."
Once upon a time a wise man said
Through action a man becomes a Hero
Through Death a Hero Becomes a Legend
Through Time a Legend becomes a Myth
Since I was a boy Achilles has been my hero, his rage could not be stopped.
Magnificent.
Can you do a separate video on Achilles?
Ascension Achilles was Demi god
Aj Haruno Perseus was also a demigod. Hercules as well.
@@ajharuno4788 i was a mortal
I would've loved to see a achilles vs hercules fight
they're cousins
Herakles would have him
@SilverOrien You see normally I would agree with you but that singular weakness is very hard to exploit And Hercules can actually be hurt honestly I think Achilles might have a better shot than you give him credit for. And I know what you're gonna say Hercules is a spectacular Archer but if you read his lead him to the other habit of letting his arrogance get the better of him and always going for a "fair" fight.
@SilverOrien mom can chxcshef
@@Ivanmaradonaaa Pretty much every Greek hero is a cousin.
Odysseus should be no 1. He did al of his feats without being a demigod.
Janko Van Jaarsveldt or being related to a god
@@darrellestabillo2576 Hercules also had help. Thats why he did 12 labours instead of 10. Hercules is also known as the strongest mortal/demigod. Odysseus is a normal man. In my eyes he is gonna take the no 1 spot everytime
That's right!!
@@darrellestabillo2576 Odysseus left her to go fight in the trojan war which lasted 10 years. Then on his journey back he was blown of course and had to perform his heroic deeds. It took him 10 years to return home. So he was away from his wife for 20 years. His wife remained faithful and held out against the multiple suitors who harassed her and and ate up Odysseus's wealth. When Odysseus returned he killed the suitors and reunited with his wife. Which is maybe the best love story in the greek mythos
@@darrellestabillo2576 Orpheus and eurydice is also a good one. I don't remember Eros's stories so well but if memory serves right it is also a very good love story
Achilles should be first💔 hes known as the greatest warrior that has ever lived, absolutely unrivaled in terms of speed, athleticism, battle, strenght..even Zeus himself feared his rage. Only killed by divine intervention as nobody could even challenge him.. Loving the consistent content on your channel🙌
@Pritan Plot twist: i was secretly in love with him
The real question is why isn't Diomedes on the list. I think a strong case can be made for him to not only be on the list but In the top 2.
U r right Achilles is no.1
He was killed because his heel had paper skin and glass bones.
Herakles
What's truly inspirational is that they represent an everyman choosing to go up against seemingly impossible tasks in order to better themselves, their group, or the world they live in. This is what it truly means to be a hero.
The battle between Achilles and Hector was one of the most Epic battles of Greek mythology was it? Because I remember Hector getting sexually harassed by his mother and then running around Troy three times before getting absolutely massacred by Achilles (I love Hector in the Iliad but his character just gradually gets worse further along the narrative)
@Thor Berserker of Thunder No it was never a true match at all from the beginning. Achilles won by pure skill alone. Hector was a great warrior and a powerful leader in his own right. But Achilles was beyond him in every possible way. Even nerfed, to use gaming argo, he would have won.
He was simply that good. The Iliad and the myth is as clear as it can be in this. Even Hector himself knew this when he went outside to face him, that he was going to his death. Every other battle has a certain tension and a back and forth to it when you read it, not so in the battle between Achilles and Hector. He is seen to dominate the fight from the beginning and you know immediately what the outcome will be. The only question is how long will Hector last. His defeat was a forgone conclusion.
The only person that would have won against Achilles, and I use would have because there is no possible way for Achilles to win against him just like Hector couldn't win against Achilles, is Heracles himself.
I think the hero Cadmus is important as well. He is the first hero and slayer of monsters, by slaying the water guardian of Ares.
Edit: He also founded the city Thebes and the Greek alphabet.
It wasn’t a water guardian it was a dragon/son of Ares
Odysseus was actually Hermes’ great grandson so he had a bit of divine blood.
My little brother thought Achilles was a bey FIRST..🤣🤣🤣
Odysseus will always be my favorite. Nothing but cunning and will power.
Terrific presentation! Thank you
Achillie is most skillful among all of them but in strength ita Hercules , but still achillies is invincible
ALMOST
nawww hes on top literally
Try scolding Apollo (Cowardly Paris of Troy shot his ankle with Apollo helping)
Wrong. Hercules is undoubtedly the best and most powerful Greek hero; he was trained in the best possible way and has the best possible weapons. He has achieved things any other hero couldn't. He killed the Hydra, he tamed Cerberus, he held the entire world, defeated the Nemean lion. Achilles was undefeated by humans, but Hercules would crush him, this is a fact. He was stronger quicker and a better fighter and has way more experience.
lets pretend Achilles was more skilled, all that skill wouldnt be enough in a battle against Hercules, he is just too powerful for Achilles to beat.
I wish I could be a great Hero like theses someday
My favorite was the almost physcopathic Diomedes who leaving Troy went home to find his queen had betrayed him forcing him to flee to Italy. There he found his own city. When the enemies of Aeneas came to Diomedes offering a reward for him to fight Aeneas, a Trojan that he had beaten before the walls of Troy. Diomedes refused chosing to live the rest of his life in peace wishing Aeneas the same.
Absolutely love your videos!!!
thanks
Odysseus was and still is my favourite one! Yes, I know I know, Heracles is more well-known, but I am gonna present my opinions.
I believe that he was kinda different than the majority of the other heroes. All the other ones were the sons of a god. Odysseus was the only mortal.
All the other ones were known for their fighting skills. Odysseus managed to get away with his intelligence, like when he was trapped inside the Cyclop's cave.
And I personally prefer heroes who rely on their brain rather on their strength.
That's my opinion!
Yess!
Odysseus was related to hermes and athena helped a lot
Odyseus was related to Hermes, the only one with least god's help and parentage would be Ajax the Great ... He freaking came close to killing hector himself twice and his demise was also most sad and not suited for a warrior ...
cubes games Read ilyada and u will know Akhilleus is the best
Jason was also a mere mortal
7. Orpheus
6. Jason
5. Perseus
4. Theseus
3. Achilles
2. Odysseus
1. Hercules
SATURN BRIGHTBURN
Yes, it's from least to most popular
1
What about narsusis
Achilles was #2. Odysseus was #3
I'd go with Diomedes, the dude wounded Ares, badass!
Yes he was depicted as a geeat warrior and the ordinary Ulysses ' companion.
He's actually insanely powerful to be honest. He almost folded Ajax the great, then almost killer Hector multiple times without breaking a sweat.
Sometimes people say Hades was wounded by Heracles
Actually Hercules had beaten ares twice
and it was Athena that made him an immortal so he could live on Olympus after his mortal death
Hercules has always been a favorite of mine. No doubt about him being the greatest of heroes in greek mythology!
Yeah, he was the greatest of them all who went the distance.
finally a list with the best Greek heros ever!!😥 is very hard to find a clear list on these characters anywhere
thank you for showing the old jason and the argnaunts and clash of the titans and new 2004 troy
Achilles is one of my favorite heroes in the great Trojan war
I love hercules
I would love to see more on the Argonauts such as Caineus
I want more facts and abilities of Achellies
i love greek mythology ive read Percy Jackson so that helped to.
Achilles and Hercules
I don't recall seeing a video on the storie of jason and am still waiting on the volsung saga and that mask of loki
Keep up your videos dudes
We love your content
I can imagine Jason Gracce and Percy Jackson (from Heroes of Olympus series) watching this list and Percy being all smirky because Jason, the hero, came after Percius
It's interesting to note that the Romans considered Odysseus to be a bad guy, an antagonist.
This is for two reasons:
1. The Romans traced their mythological ancestry to Prince Aneus of Troy. Hence, they saw themselves as descendants of the Trojans, and therefore the Greek heroes of the Trojan War were their enemies (though earlier Greek heroes were not, as they had done nothing against Troy).
2. Odysseus offended Roman ideas of virtue and honour. People tend to forget that Roman culture was significantly influenced by the Etruscan and Latin cultures of Italy, and so while the cosmopolitan Greeks (especially Athens) valued wit, cunning and intelligence, the Romans were more like old-fashioned country folk and valued honesty, forthrightness, duty and rugged simplicity. Therefore, they saw Odysseus as a duplicitous scumbag who tricked and swindled his way to success instead of a working or fighting for it like a "real Roman man".
It's funny to read accounts of conflict in Roman society between those who supported Hellenisation and those who were seeking to conserve Rome's traditional Latin values.
I like Theseus and odysseyus
“Brothers! Nobody has blinded me”!
I love your videos
Sometimes i imagine a fight between theseus perseus and heracles, always wonder who would win.
My favorite hero is achilles and hurcles
Hector deserves to be here because he fought an Immortal Achilles
Indeed 💜
Achiles wasnt immortal. He was invincible, and hector was killed by achilles. Paris killed achilles by shooting an arrow through his heel, the one place where he was vunerable.
House Of Scare well that’s in the non-mythological version of the Iliad but I am talking about mythology here
@@ojari777 Fair enough.
@@EmmanuelMoralesPetti Dont think Hector knew that all he had to do was get to his heel
Dude. Great video but the Greek name is not Hercules it’s Heracles. That translates to glory to Hera. He was name that as an apology to Hara for Zeus having slept with another mortal. Disney got the name wrong which caused most people to think it’s Hercules instead of Heracles. Hercules is the Roman name for him not the Greek name nor has original name
What with Alexios.
He defeated Medusa,three Ciclops and killed Spinx
Hahahaha assassins creed odessy yup he killed all the mytical creature and gods
Lol
Alexios, what about Kratos? He took out everyone.
🤣🤣🤣 kassandra??
@@JCSams i played alexios first so i put him in here
hercules deserve the first place, he endured things nobody could but still do the right things
Hercules isn't even greek.
@@milkhandler most people don't know his greek name, Heracles and even when the know they prefer Hercules
UR HIGH BC UR U MUST HAVE A CONFUSION BC UR SO DUMB ACHILES IS DA BEST UR SO DUMB ACHILES IS A HERO
@@milkhandler lol whut
Heracles DID NOT ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING for example he didn’t give credit to all those who helped him not to mention some of them lost everything and he got over 5 kings killed some were even his friends
Ajax the greater deserved a place on this list, even if it was an honorable mention
Good video
I'd would have loved to see an anime version it would be one of the most longest anime and manga series ever
To me Hector is the real hero during the Trojan war. Achilles was driven by his ego, pride and self-righteousness. Hector was driven by his duty, honor and need to protect his people. That is what a real hero should be like. And a lot of the 'heroes' on this list did really nasty things. Like how Jason abandoned the woman who helped him get the golden fleece
Also I think that achilles should be first for many reasons such as being almost immortal for bearing the curse of the Styx
LUV DIS
Working on high school football rivalry trophy, the trophy is a statue of Zeus. Any ideas based on Zeus’ legend to incorporate into the base of the trophy? Good quotes or art?
Strength of hercules
courage of Achilles
IQ of Odysseus
Perseus, Hercules, Achilles, and Theseus are my top favorite greek heroes.
Wait isn't Leonidas of Sparta also a Hero in Greek mythology coz I think he should be here.
@@dalesdamaniac2363 He's in the history of the 300 Spartans. That's actually real, not mythology.
@@jamesplunkett8912 ooh ok thanks for the information 👊
@@dalesdamaniac2363 I didn't care for the movie 300 because I thought it was supposed to end the opposite of how it does. I didn't know anything about the history till my dad told me.
@@jamesplunkett8912 Yeah I think the producer twisted the movie coz he wanted to make it more realistic and Interesting.Sometyms it bores alot to see heroes always end with`` happily ever after" so producer made them die in battle so as to honour that say '' Legends never die".
Make a list of most powerful greek heroes. Great video though
Achilles is number 1 for me ! The best of the bests !
Achilles was the most powerful worrior ever lived and its a pity that his story was so short...achilles was known only for his fight against Troy, where he died because gods wanted him to die, but he was so invicible , that even gods were afraid of him
if he's so powerful as a warrior how come he almost died against a River God and had to beg the Gods to save him while Hercules defeated the king of River Gods? :D
@@blitzkrieg2928 hera told Hephaestus to save him
Achilles, Perseus, Heracles, Odysseus, Jason, Theseus, etc
"Sing, goddess, the wrath of Achilles…"
He may not be a traditional hero, but im a huge fan of Diogenes and his attitude hahaha
Pls talk about shaman and their popular figure
When I saw the thumbnail, my first thought was: that would make a cool teamup movie
Am I the only one here searching for percy Jackson??
One fact that is not widely known is that Medusa was actually beautiful and had taken a chastity vow. She was assaulted by Poseidon inside Athena’s temple and then punished for it. Her portrayal in movies doesn’t tell the full story.
Pretty dope thumbnail
My favourite hero Alexios 😁
I feel like I’m all Greek heroes in one
My favourite Greek heroes!
Achilles is definitely my favorite hero
U totally nailed it. Hercules and Achilles. I'd add Alex the G but he's not a myth. At one point, his sworn brother compared him unfavorably against Achilles, and he said those guys spent 10 years conquering one city, but I spent 5 years conquering Persia! Reality is even cooler than myth.
Alexander the great loved and admired Achilles he was sleeping with the book of Iliad in his pillar.
I love the top 3 ;-).
"Bah! Men get all the glory!"
-Circe
So sad that Otrera and Atalanta weren't included :(
I know Atalanta who is Otera? And to be fair these are the guys with the best and well known stories
Circe is one of the worst people of her time for gods sake she killed 2 of her small children
Achilles!! My favorite Greek No.1 hero!!
Hercules was actually the Roman Mythological version of Heracles
I thought it would be
Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Leo Valdez, Frank Zhang, Hazel Levesque, Piper McLean and Jason Grace
silly of me..
IKR I kinda was hoping he would say that
Same
I thought its would go Piper,Leo,Hazel,Frank,Jason,Annabeth,Percy
Those are just book characters
you forgot one lol brings tears to my eyes
Omg would love to know the winner of the battle akhilleus vs Heracles
@Stefan Marjanovic achilies wins
Learn to spell
1. Hercules/Herakles, fought through 12 Labors.
2. Achilles, the Hero fo Trojan War.
3. Perseus, Slayer of Medusa
4. Theseus, Conqueror of the Labyrinth
5. Hector, Archilles's Rival
6. Bellerophon, The Rider of Pegasus and The Slayer of Chimera
7. Diomedes, The guy who wounded Ares
8. Cadmus, King of Thebes and the Creator of Spartoi out of Dragon's tooth
9. Odysseus/Ulysses, The Adventurer
10. Jason, the seeker of the Golden Fleece
11. Icarus, he who fly to close to the Sun
Hercules is the Roman hero. Heracles is the name of the Greek Hero. I think its worth pointing out seeing as this video is about "Greek mythology", even though the name Hercules is more common today.
nice video although my favorite heroe is oddyseus he was the batman of the ancient world no special powers no gods but with his mind he could rival everyone like batman rivals superman:P
but when it comes to true history the greatest is leonidas king of sparta he was the real deal
Hercules! The Man! Son Zeus gifted with superhuman strength. Even though he had to undergo the 12 Labors to atone for slaughtering his family(though he was manipulated by Hera to do this. She literally drove him out of his mind!), he went into it anyway. No fear at all. And in the end, became a god and a constellation! Ha ha!
How about these 7 heroes
1 Percy Jackson
2 Jason Grace
3 Leo Valdez
4 Annabeth chase
5 Piper
6 Frank
7 Hazel
Jason Grace, Frank and Hazel were Roman not Greek
Hope Riordan write a new series after The Trials of Apollo about the all of the series characters (the Greek, Egyptian, and Norse Gods) in one book series of 5 books
THANK YOU !!!!!!! I WAS LIKE, AM I THE ONLY ONE ? THE ONLY HEROS I KNOW
Now Perseus. Hmmmm. Son Of Zeus, Slayer of Medusa and the Kraken, husband of Andromeda, ruler of TWO kingdoms(he got Andromeda's AND reclaimed the kingdom that was his by right from his rotten uncle-or was it his grandfather?), had all the powerful weapons(the Sandals of Hermes, the Shield of Athena, the Sword of Hephaestus and the Helmet of Hades-which made the wearer invisible-and then gains a more powerful weapon with Medusa's Head-dayum! Ol' Boy was on point with his flow! I'm jealous, dammit! Lolol. Ok, so he had to give stuff back to the gods but hey! He used them first so there!
He's the guy in TES with all the BA artifacts.
Yes. Now name all of Herakles accomplishments.
My two favorite Greek hero’s are Penicus and Testeclese
These are my warrior for God kingdom that went up against Kadachas Monsters 1
Thank You God.
Don't for Thor , Kratos, Wonder Woman & Aqu Man
Now Godchild 1
Can you imagine a Greek mythology version of Avengers
Well, the Argonauts were kinda that
N°1
Should be Achilles
All of them are great. Hercules is my favorite, hands down!
My favorite hero is Achilles
wheres the great Diomedes? the best hero in the illiad?
i like all these heroes
But Jason is my favorite
Achilles is my Favorite hero
achilles my hero..
If Percy Jackson was real, he would probably dominate this list
There is a dawning of a new modern day Greek hero, The Dawning of the Age of Asterios ⚡
Historical epics movies need to be made esspecially ones on greek mythology their are so many movies they could make
what about alexander the great the Macedonian king who defeated the persians?
He's not a myth
Is that even greek mythology
Also alexanders hero was actually achilles
Why don't you make video on achillies
Hey, where's Atalanta?!?!
I thinkTheseus is a really great hero, but also brought suffering to many innocent people
