Fun fact, the prefix "techno" as it's used today comes from the Greek word "techne", which means "art, skill, craft, or the way, manner, or means by which a thing is gained". "Blade", on the other hand, is of Germanic origin, coming from a word used to refer to the leaf of a plant.

I'm constantly getting notifications from people saying that it's too late for that. No shit, y'all.. It's so disrespectful to him to be like "🤓☝️ uh well" all the time at a comment made almost a year before he passed.
i feel like technoblade from the way he worded the story’s was IN these story’s, like he WATCHED them go down, I can just think of little techno watching this happen and is like “man when I’m older I’m gunna make SO MUCH money from these story’s”
OMG Techno missing Eret declaring war on King George due to rummaging in his room for an old Greek Mythology textbook to tell chat stories is prime Old God energy
I can imagine a god actually doing that he's just rummaging around in some sort of ancient ruins or ancient library for like a decade trying to find something and completely miss a war that takes place while he's gone and comes back wondering why everything's a mess and everyone's fighting each other
@Daiwik Poojary I was talking about the concept of doubt, some people may not see him as the blood god, for we true believers seem like fakes to those of the non enlightened.
These clips give me the sense that Technoblade is actually just an immortal and he’s just trying to remember stories from when he was *_actually there,_*
As someone who also has ADHD (I'm assuming most know, but for those who don't, Techno has it), hearing him try to retell stories and bits of trivia he remembers.. Is so god damn relatable. It's like hearing myself. You remember the story itself, but just can't recall the small details like names and stuff, and then you break up the flow of the story trying to remember the name 😂.
@@zero-dv5cv I get what you mean not everyone needs to have ADHD to relate to struggling to retell stories and bits of information but sometimes it nice to find others with similar struggles that a person with ADHD has. I’m not sure if I worded that correctly but I hope you get what I mean

Paris was honestly a very self-centered person though so even if he knew he would probably have still agreed because he believed that he should have anyone he wanted, and he didn't even think Helen was good enough for him. Aphrodite was the one he believed was good enough for him, but she denied him, and he only stood Helen because aphrodite believed her a good fit for him.

There are some lesser known heroes that actually have somewhat decent deaths. For example Teukros who fought together with Aias during the battle of troye. Sure he was exiled (because he didnt avenge Aias' death - a suicide), but he then founded a city on Cyprus. Lived a decent live there.
Gilgamesh being a 2/3 demigod isn't because they messed up the math its just because he was so divine he had 2/3 divine blood not the traditional 1/2 divine blood of the Greeks, Gilgamesh was Mesopotamian so its different for him
Techno is right in that myths are memes, strictly speaking, the term meme was invented by Richard Dawkins as the idea equivalent of genes, bassically a meme is an idea that is passed on or spreads like genes or a disease/virus. Ideas essentially reproduce and breed with each other, creating new ideas or just existing only to perpetuate themselves. We even see this in internet memes which are like a semi-controlled environment of memes, where people purposefully create new ones, modify and mix existing ones, and spread them around. Think about all the variations of wojak or the cover yourself in oil meme, these are perfect examples as memes that have descended from other memes and made new ones and spread themselves. Myths spread in a similar way, and over time they’ve mixed with other stories until we got the versions were familiar with now, and we’ve been introduced to most of these myths through new mediums that also changed the story. These are ideas that have spread, reproduced, been mixed or essentially bred with each other, to perpetuate themselves and spread farther.
Reading this late at night after doing math all day and I have to admit I’ve read this over 10 times and I still can’t understand this. I did to much stuff for college math today you killed me
“Which mythological hero wasn’t terrible” Achilles. Odysseus. Neither one raped or kids kidnapped women. They just loved someone and wanted to get back to them
I really like Greek Mythology- so I'm just putting down a bit of what I know from the top of my head lol 2:02 Athena Aphrodite and Hera 3:11 He picks Aphrodite. Hera offered him the blessing of luck, bountiful harvests and large families. Athena offered him wisdom and the success of many battles. Aphrodite told him she'd make him prettier- which is what he was all about in the first place, so not much of a competition. 6:53 The river god Achelous wanted revenge on Heracles. The god told Heracles' wife that centaur blood would keep a husband faithful, she was having doubts of his monogamy (Heracles basically cheated on her every second hour, but that's not the point right now). So the wife spread the centaur's blood on the inside of his coat. The truth is that centaur's blood is actually a really potent poison, and gave Heracles a moderately slow and painful death.
If I recall correctly, it was actually a centaur who was killed by Hercules who was offering his no longer needed blood to Hercules's wife. What he didn't mention was the reason he was dying was because of the poisonous blood in Hercules's arrows, which mixed with his own blood. So when Hercules's wife made a coat with the centaur's blood smeared on the inside of it and had Hercules wear it, it was like dumping hydrochloric acid onto his torso.
Let's all just say farewell to the best youtuber that made us happy during bad days and making our days and he will never die becuase he is always in our hearts and becuase TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES!!!
I wish you were still here Rest In Peace techno and thank you for everything I hope you can make people happy in heaven like you did us fly high king 👑 TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES cause your a LEGEND.
Theres a flaw in techno's speech, Theseus had made the king commit die due to not changing the sail on his boat, makimg the king think he waas dead. Theseus had also kidnapped 12 year old, Helen of troy to wait until she was of legal age. And lastly, he almost got killed by hades for helling his friend steak his wife, only to be saved by Heracles later. So really, Thesues is no hero. Hes a neutral, though yes he shouldn't have been exiled. And yes, he is still a greek hero and hero of athens. And all of what he did was considered acceptable at the time, i just kinda thought i should say it.
Another thing about the Phil myth: instead of just awkwardly asking him to come back and fight after abandoning him, they just beat the shit otta Phil and took the bow lmao
God, going back to this and 8:20 in specific made me think "damn Techno would've HATED people going 'yeah I know x, the guy from Epic (the musical) / Fortnite!". Rest in peace good sir
I only read the PJ books, and my favorite was The Titan's Curse I still love and completely adore mythological accuracy (of any myth of any culture) so I still don't like people who use Uncle Rick's books for school.
@@frelted6744 Technoblade used the line "Welcome home, Theseus" when he showed Tommy the wither Skeleton room, Theseus story has a lot of parallels with Tommy's arc in the Dream SMP. One of the parallels being he was exiled
@@cortneylane200 oh sorry i just didnt realise it was that simple, techno has literally pointed out the ties between tommy and Theseus before so i thought it was something less obvious.

Gilgamesh being a 2/3 demigod isn't because they messed up the math its just because he was so divine he had 2/3 divine blood not the traditional 1/2 divine blood of the Greeks, Gilgamesh was Mesopotamian so its different for him
He's just built different
it's because he could tell the difference between salt and sugar
@@youknowihadtodoittoem3579 its because he told God's to fuck off and it kinda worked.
Wasn't he like 2/3 god because of some weird belief that if someone helps during birth they have some sort of claim/influence over the child?
Techno is right in that myths are memes, strictly speaking, the term meme was invented by Richard Dawkins as the idea equivalent of genes, bassically a meme is an idea that is passed on or spreads like genes or a disease/virus. Ideas essentially reproduce and breed with each other, creating new ideas or just existing only to perpetuate themselves. We even see this in internet memes which are like a semi-controlled environment of memes, where people purposefully create new ones, modify and mix existing ones, and spread them around. Think about all the variations of wojak or the cover yourself in oil meme, these are perfect examples as memes that have descended from other memes and made new ones and spread themselves. Myths spread in a similar way, and over time they’ve mixed with other stories until we got the versions were familiar with now, and we’ve been introduced to most of these myths through new mediums that also changed the story. These are ideas that have spread, reproduced, been mixed or essentially bred with each other, to perpetuate themselves and spread farther.
“The memes...”
Whoa.
You must be fun at parties (kinda seriously)
I totally read all that.
Reading this late at night after doing math all day and I have to admit I’ve read this over 10 times and I still can’t understand this. I did to much stuff for college math today you killed me
“Which mythological hero wasn’t terrible” Achilles. Odysseus. Neither one raped or kids kidnapped women. They just loved someone and wanted to get back to them
It hurts when I think about how I will never get to listen to Technoblade nerd out about Greek mythology on one of his streams ever again.
I love this so much
Greek mythology + techno = POG!
techno is pog without greek mythology
You guys do know english (majors? Stuff idk) have to learn Greek Mythology at some point o-O
@@crimsocinth well im not american so i didnt know that o_o
*POG²
Technoblade + mythology = Technology
I really like Greek Mythology- so I'm just putting down a bit of what I know from the top of my head lol
2:02 Athena Aphrodite and Hera
3:11 He picks Aphrodite. Hera offered him the blessing of luck, bountiful harvests and large families. Athena offered him wisdom and the success of many battles. Aphrodite told him she'd make him prettier- which is what he was all about in the first place, so not much of a competition.
6:53 The river god Achelous wanted revenge on Heracles. The god told Heracles' wife that centaur blood would keep a husband faithful, she was having doubts of his monogamy (Heracles basically cheated on her every second hour, but that's not the point right now). So the wife spread the centaur's blood on the inside of his coat. The truth is that centaur's blood is actually a really potent poison, and gave Heracles a moderately slow and painful death.
Thank you, I was looking for this comment
I thought Aphrodite promised Paris the most beautiful woman in the world or something like that.
@@Vivian19739 that might've been it- this is all just from the top of my head lol
Maaan heracles/hercules really learned from his dad
If I recall correctly, it was actually a centaur who was killed by Hercules who was offering his no longer needed blood to Hercules's wife. What he didn't mention was the reason he was dying was because of the poisonous blood in Hercules's arrows, which mixed with his own blood. So when Hercules's wife made a coat with the centaur's blood smeared on the inside of it and had Hercules wear it, it was like dumping hydrochloric acid onto his torso.
Technoblade, the Demisemihemidemisemi God
THE BLOOD GOD
1/32th of a God = pog
pog for the blood god
Im pretty sure thats some type of music note
that just sounds like a quasi god but with more steps
Let's all just say farewell to the best youtuber that made us happy during bad days and making our days and he will never die becuase he is always in our hearts and becuase TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES!!!
I wish you were still here Rest In Peace techno and thank you for everything I hope you can make people happy in heaven like you did us fly high king 👑 TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES cause your a LEGEND.
Theres a flaw in techno's speech, Theseus had made the king commit die due to not changing the sail on his boat, makimg the king think he waas dead. Theseus had also kidnapped 12 year old, Helen of troy to wait until she was of legal age. And lastly, he almost got killed by hades for helling his friend steak his wife, only to be saved by Heracles later.
So really, Thesues is no hero. Hes a neutral, though yes he shouldn't have been exiled.
And yes, he is still a greek hero and hero of athens. And all of what he did was considered acceptable at the time, i just kinda thought i should say it.
Well, Tommy also did a hell of a lot of things wrong
How is this an edited comment yet still has so many spelling mistakes?
@@ballisticbee6001 because i cant spell, duh
@@notaku2813 yep. I suffer the same lack of spelling ablility.
The best thing about this is the, "Theseus had made the king commit *die* "
this is literally the best compilation thank u for this
This is even funnier to me because Dream has said he read and enjoyed the Percy Jackson books before
As much as I don’t really like dream I’m happy that he likes Percy Jackson
“She was the god of discord, but they didn’t use Discord, they used Skype back then so of course she wasn’t invited to the party” 😂😂😂
10:43 This aged like an onion under my eye.
Rest well our Last Demi-Semi god.
Exactly what I was thinking
12:10 "Of course I don't suffer from hubris, because hubris is a flaw, and I am perfect!"
Another thing about the Phil myth: instead of just awkwardly asking him to come back and fight after abandoning him, they just beat the shit otta Phil and took the bow lmao
THATS SO FUCKING FUNNY PLS
Must be another case of multiple tellings, I always heard they got a priest of Apollo to heal his foot, so he could kill Paris with the bow.
19:36
Wait, I'm pretty sure Techno has never revealed the names of his siblings
Omg
They were talking about their own brother, not technos. Technos brother he actually revealed. His sisters he hasn’t since they’re a lot younger
rewatching this cuz i miss him so fucking much
God, going back to this and 8:20 in specific made me think "damn Techno would've HATED people going 'yeah I know x, the guy from Epic (the musical) / Fortnite!". Rest in peace good sir
Alternative title: Angry pig has a Greek mythology class
"they exiled him"
this didn't age well
now i feel bad for reading EVERY SINGLE percy jackson book (jason grace, carter kane and lester papadoulos included)
That's not bad....
I only read the PJ books, and my favorite was The Titan's Curse
I still love and completely adore mythological accuracy (of any myth of any culture) so I still don't like people who use Uncle Rick's books for school.
Wait, isn’t Lester from the trials of Apollo???????
@@otherevan296 yeah. its meant to be modified and exaggerated for entertainment purposes and it shouldn't be the main source of info for school
... i just.. need.. kane.. chronicles..
Glad to know I'm not the only nerd still looking at his content :)
After techno's passing
We will tell his legacy for the next 3,000 years now
I just got the "welcome home theseus" thing and im so disappointed in myself
Don't worry you aren't the only one, I also didn't understand until now and I am also disappointed in myself for not connecting the dots sooner
@@cortneylane200 wait connecting what dots? have i missed something?
@@frelted6744 Technoblade used the line "Welcome home, Theseus" when he showed Tommy the wither Skeleton room, Theseus story has a lot of parallels with Tommy's arc in the Dream SMP. One of the parallels being he was exiled
@@cortneylane200 oh sorry i just didnt realise it was that simple, techno has literally pointed out the ties between tommy and Theseus before so i thought it was something less obvious.
@@frelted6744 no need to apologize, it's fine dude :)
My favorite type of techno is mythology teacher techno.
I love how Techno hasn’t unpacked his backpack from college
I miss him man. Still check yt notifications to see if he's finally livestreaming or if he's uploaded a year and a half later.
This has been helping me cope with the news..I used to listen to this on loop for hours until I knew the stories by heart to recite them to others
Rest in peace, King
I read Percy Jackson and then I began learning about mythology, I've learned a lot about Greek mythology, a bit about Egyptian mythology and now im trying to learn about Norse mythology.
Norse is really cool.

I knew about Greek mythology before I even knew the Percy Jackson book series was a thing.
Same

O7 king, this video is helping a lot with coping 😔 r.i.p.
TECHNO BLADE NEVER DIES in my heart and the fans he has
12:07 Hey remember that time when Technoblade ALMOST succeeded at a task, but then just before finishing, he bragged for like 2 minutes, and made fun of the guy saying he would fail? And then when he went to finish the task, he found out that he had indeed failed, all because he spent all that time bragging? Remember that? (I'm talking about the halloween skeleton, if that wasn't clear.)
Hallowed skeleton? When was that?
@@alex2005z Halloween skeleton. As in, a skeleton with a jack 'o' lantern on its head. Happened during a Halloween stream.
