There’s something irrationally funny about Zeus’s only male lover being the only one that didn’t have a horrible fate, all because Hera said “no mistresses!”
Maybe Hera enjoying the show between Zeus and him.
Maybe Hera is a Fujoshi.
@@minezweeper2976The answer is easy... Males can't get pregnant therefore Ganymede is not a threat.
i like ur thinking@@minezweeper2976 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@minezweeper2976 the flip is that
More Zodiac Sign Stories Please🙃
Throughout the video Ganymede was properly clothed, but when Zeus place him in the stars, he's barechested...... Why & where di Zeus saw him like that?😅
I have a request do next the ♏ and the zodiac sign please cause I'm a big fan of it and I love mythology and my teacher said I almost recognized all of the gods and goddesses
I'm aquarius
Are we in the age of aquarius yet?
Beware of the song Candy Shop by 50 Cent playing in the background, that's probably Zeus.
Do one about Pisces
Please???
So Hera just allowed this? She didn't do anything at all?
She can't. Zeus is more powerful.
@@savagedarksider I was more thinking she would do something to Ganymede
@@Argend505 wait what? So how is he supposed to serve drinks if he's a constellation?
@@toniyami He can't? At least I don't think he can physically pour drinks anymore, Zeus made him into beautiful stars to save him from Hera/death/other things.
For the Greeks (like most ancient societys) there was a clear difference betwen heterosexuall and homosexuall relationships. Zeus having something with Ganymede was probably not the same thing as Zeus going after other women.
What about Pisces?
Fun fact Ganymede is going to be in the Percy Jackson book Percy Jackson and the chalice of the gods where he loses his cup
So this is where the word Gay came from
No more nmede
TAURUS NEXT!!!
What's the origin of little red riding hood?!? This story should be interesting....
I'm An Aquarius ♒🏺

Where are my Aquarians at?♒

umean they now bloody cannibal
😆 Zues Was Smashing A Teenage BOY 😂😂😊
There's A word for that.
Aw how cute lazy mother foker and his maids
So that Jupiter / Zeus guy is GAY !
What consequence does this have for Saggitarius and Pisces ?
😂
You all know Ganymedes was a teen right?
So were a lot of Zeus's flings. It's pointless to apply our modern morality to ancient cultures. Although, in this case, it's not that far out of touch. Many U.S. states allow minors to be married to adults.
@@daniels7907 you are missing the point, even Plato back then frowned the practice of adults taking teenage catamites and brides, its just as people believen back then that the earth was flat despite the greeks, egyptians and even israelites back then being well aware that it was in fact, round, just because the practice was common back then it doesn't mean it was frowned upon back then and criminalized today
Honestly, I like to think of Zeus and Ganymede's relationship as sugar dating. You know, that deific sugar daddy (Zeus) and mortal turned immortal sugar baby (Ganymede) type of deals. Heck, it was the same with Poseidon and Nerites.
back in those centuries if a person was physically mature enough, then they were an adult. And by "mature enough" I mean able to reproduce. Nowadays it's based off of emotional and mental maturity rather
@@vextex9719 - But the rules were always different for gods. For example, Zeus's wife, Hera, was also his full-sister. Ancient mythology and religion in general were like that. Many people today prefer to forget that the Biblical patriarch Abraham and his wife Sarah were half-siblings, which was a common practice in ancient times when a father wanted to keep a dowry within his own family. But we certainly wouldn't allow it today.
The smallest mistake for spilling a drink. Father of the year, zeus!
Still better than his dad ( he never tried to eat his kids )
@@lifewithlee6298 Athena would disagree.
He is no father just a progenitor
Ganymede gets a moon AND a star constellation named after him, lucky duck.
So... basically Hera doesn't want Zeus spending any time or attention on anyone but her.
Well.... they are married.
@@spottedslash4256 , Zeus is also married to Demeter and two others, but neither of them were as vengeful.
@@FreyaBelle1240 he ain't married to Demeter but all other wives aren't as powerful as Hera
No, Zeus was not married with different women at the same time. In most versions goddesses like Athenas mother Metis were before Hera. (But in the end there are different versions... I just do not know of any in which Zeus is married to multiple women at the same time - especially when Hera is so vengfull).
@@FreyaBelle1240 That might be because they aren't goddesses of wedding and family and thus Zeus escapades are not a direct attack to everything they embody.
Fun fact: According to Homer and Socrates (Xenophon's Symposium) Ganymede, despite his young age, was a very smart and wise person (which is also what his name means). Because of that Zeus would ask for his opinion every time he was troubled about making an important decision. He would also spend hours talking with him about various subjects.
But just like every greek myth (or most of them), the Roman versions tend to be more widespread, which is why Ganymede is believed to be a lover of Zeus, just like Hyacynthus became a lover of Apollo in Ovid's versions of the myths (despite the fact that the greek version doesn't even hint that).
I see nothing saying that it was only in roman version 🤨 what is your source? Platon mentionne that fable where Zeus and Ganymede are lovers in his book of laws in 636 B-C and say that the Cretans invented it to justify "tasting themselves that pleasure at the image of the god".
So was Hera jealous of Zeus/Ganymedes time together for nothing -
or was she justified?
@@Uglyoldhag Her daughter lost her position to the mortal, she had some reasons not to be happy with him anyways.
@Éfar Isti it seems that you got things a little mixed up, I assume that you're referring to Plato's laws 636d (...κατηγοροῦμεν ὡς λογοποιησάντων τούτων· ἐπειδὴ παρὰ Διὸς αὐτοῖς οἱ νόμοι πεπιστευμένοι ἦσαν γεγονέναι, τοῦτον τὸν μῦθον προστεθηκέναι κατὰ τοῦ Διός, ἵνα ἑπόμενοι δὴ τῷ θεῷ καρπῶνται καὶ ταύτην τὴν ἡδονήν...). Plato doesn't state that Zeus and Ganymede were lovers, on the contrary he explains that only some of the Cretans misinterpreted the myth in order to practice homoerotic activities (the reason being that if the Gods accepted this kind of behavior, men shouldn't criticize it). Just right above that part (I believe it's 636 b-c) he explains how every Greek city-state viewed this kind of behavior as not natural, therefore condemning it. In other words, Plato doesn't state that it was a widespread version of the myth throughout Greece, he only states that those who wanted to engage in homoerotic activities in Crete, used that version of the myth in order to not be viewed negatively. The Romans on the other hand used a similar version of the myth to the one the Cretans did (and if I'm not mistaken it was Ovid who wrote love poems containing Zeus and Ganymede as lovers)
Now about my source, if you read Xenophon's Symposium, there is a part where Socrates explains the meaning of the myth and refers to the Homeric poems as well.
@Stephanie Keatley I don't remember if the myth mentions Hera's jealousy actually, but I can't really think of any myth that she is not mad at Zeus or jealous. I suppose she was probably mad because be found a way around this time as well
We need more zodiacs!!!!
Yassss!
Preach like we need more zodiac like why ain't there a panther zodiac 😩
@@52Brickz-278 Fr😩
No, it’s the Age of the Aquarius, not the Age of Taurus or Age of Leo. 😘
Yeah. How was Leo created?
Hera said Zeus couldn't pick on of his mistresses aka female love interest. She said nothing about any male love interest.
Those born into the sign of Aquarius r free-spirited, rebellious, go with the flow, curious, passionate, and deeply social. Ganymede was also Zeus‘s first and probably his only gay relation.
Very true, and so much more
Thank you. I am currently ongoing with a series of asthma attacks, and I'm starting to understand why....
Being delivered 6 weeks before the expected birth date via C section has its benefits in the end.
I hope😅😤😤😤😤😤😤😤👺
I never knew that my favorite story about Zeus and his only male lover was associated with my zodiac sign. Maybe that's why im not only into women💀
Kidnapping is Zeus' middle name
And Zeus and Ganymede lived happily ever after. (literally)
Zeus' Boytoy
Tbh honest i thought Zeus got hor*y or something and found the nearest target.
I wouldn't be surprised tbh
WE NEED MORE ZODIAC STORIES! 😍 Please 🥺🙏💗
YOU LEFT OUT THE DIVINE HORSES PAID AS A RANSOM BY ZEUS TO HIS PARENTS
Some of these stories try to make sense of tragedy in ancient times, by getting the Gods involved in the tragic deaths or abductions eases the grief and keeps their memory alive.
I'm sure all the zodiacs have an interesting backstory.
Was there anyone Hera wasn't jealous of? Geez. Great parenting there Zeus, your daughter has an accident and falls so you fire her from her job. Nice. 🙄Then you replace her with a mortal that you have a crush on.🤨
Ah finally the video I've been asking for thank you for this!
Feels too early to be here
Me: Hera,Hera,Hera how many times must I tell you; instead of going after the illegitimate children and lovers of Zeus- just take lovers of your own.
Hera: Fine ! You want me to take lovers of my own. I'll just take YOU as my lover.
Me:I-I didn't volunteer.
Hera: Are you saying no to me ?
Me: No,No,No !
Hera:Great ! Let's go new lover.
Hera grabbed my hand and dragged me to the bedroom and locked the door behind her.
Me: Come help me Kratos !
Kratos: just press O and all the symbols that appear on screen and everything will be fine, true spartan word
hahahaha you are a very lucky man
@@Naudi18 Lucky ? You call having all the goddesses fight over me lucky ?
@@savagedarksider in a way yes
@@bisscotto9146 You sir(...) Are absolutely right. They keep offering me A " Job." If you know what I mean.
Next, please, is Virgo. ✨♍
Well he could've atleast made a better resolution of Ganymede.
And they say hades is creepy for kidnapping his wife
Zeus suggested the kidnapping to Hades.
Yep because Zeus did it first Lol 😂
Hey zeus was bi and Ganymede was Gay. And that is good to who that the gods back then we're good.
Please do moooore videos about legends of zodiac!!! 🤩🤩🤩I hope videos will be in order of astrological circle!!! Thank you so muuuuuuch!!! Can’t wait for new videos!!!💜💫
Zeus is so cringe
Aquarius is the Gay Zodiac. I'm happy for Zeus and his little boyfriend.
How little
@@deimosthedreadmoon The young kind of little... as is really young and little.
Dang, so Zeus just gon take him some huh?? Nobody safe from these Greek Gods!! You know Zeus hit that!!
I’m a Libra! Need story of my zodiac
Plz do more origins of the zodiacs
how about the origin of Sagittarius
Why did the illustrator put a fish in the hand of the man representing the constellation? From what we can see in the video, aquarius refers to the jug of drink, so why the fish?
Was it a custom for the princes of Troy to work as shepherds? Paris, Ganymede..
Great video
i like this version ♒️💕.. all the other ones sound creepy like someone was tryna spice it up 🤣
I agree we need more!
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
I am a student of history, I will give you novel information on history
Day by day I agree with kratos
Hey I’m an Aquarius
Is there one libra that’s my sign
Zoos:
"DeBussy"
When the moon is in he seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars…
Tailored history, not one mention of zeus being inlove with ganymede or ganymede unwillingness to go to olympus
2:30 ????
Seems Zeus was also in to toyboys.
We all know hades and Ganymede were hooking up.
I would love to see Pisces's origin!❤️❤️
Ganemed was prince o Troy, right? So, he might be one of the brothers of Paris and Cassandra
Ganymede was one of their ancestors, perhaps.
They came later.
nectar of the gods not youth they crave where the drunken odionis
Demoted from royal prince to waiter.
Do one of pieces
Is there one of the zodiac sign Libra?
Lovely 🥰💞
Wait wasn't he one of sons of Leda?

Denial is a river in egypt...
Zeus wife is so mad😂 for a man
It thought Prometheus (Uranus) was the ruler of Aquarius...
Different entities. Uranus or Ouranus was a god and Prometheus was a Titan. To complicate matters further the Titan race predates the Olympian Gods but Prometheus was of a later generation.
