@@Koi_J._Anthony This is not a realistic documentary, it's an animated adaptation of greek mythology for younger audiences and they did an amazing work 🤷🏻♀️
Ok so since no one else seems to be bringing it up, I really love that you had Athena making the dress. People tend to forget she is also a goddess of weaving and this made my mythology brain happy.
I don't speak English but I seriously wanted to comment (so if something is wrong... it was the translator) in one chapter Zeus talked about a certain Danae, it seems that according to mythology He appeared as a shower of gold (just like what he wanted to give her in the chapter) and impregnated her, causing Perseus to be born, so it seems that poor princess Danae must already be pregnant Even though according to the series they are technically teenagers, and until now they have shown it as the first deception, now imagine when Hera finds out that the other is going to be a father.
@@kaer4134 Bro, this is the least worst thing Zeus has ever done, most of Greek mythology only happened because Zeus doesn't know how to keep his tool in his pants (vc e br? Jwjsjs)
What I really like is how well Hera is written. She comes off as mean and superficial, but deep down, she's extremely insecure and knows Zeus isn't faithful. Instead of ending things with him, she chooses to stay with him because she loves him AND cares about maintaining this perfect image of herself. Sure, Zeus and Hera talk about working on their relationship, but deep down, they don't trust each other. They had a chance to talk things out, but one conversation isn't going to solve their problems. It's sad cause now Hera is going to use underhanded means to keep an eye on Zeus while trying to hide the obvious flaws of their relationship. Little does she know that in the context of the series, everyone either knows or will find out about the true nature of their relationship, which basically means the facade she's creating is utterly pointless.
@@casinotrio1965Have you ever read Heroes of Olympus? Hera is terrible in that book series. Also, did you know that she threw Hephaestus off of Mount Olympus because he didn’t posses any divine beauty? Your comment has confirmed to me that we are NEVER going to be friends.
It criminal that this series hasn’t been picked up by a larger production company. It’s so good!!! The character design is fantastic, the story is captivating. The merchandising opportunities are huge cos they’re all so cute!! (I just really really really want a Cerberus plushie!!) I can’t wait for more!!
As much as I want a doll or figurine of Artemis or Aphrodite, I have to agree with Adam. MH G2 was a bit of a mess, and while G3 is doing slightly better, that doesn’t mean that Mattel hasn’t royally screwed up with their own shows in the past (EAH cancellation *cough*) And Disney would water this shit down like there’s no tomorrow.
@@MsAdams1053 You're right MsAdams, after the large production company has cancelled good shows left to right, it's best that shows and movies like this are best to stay Independent.
So clueless jock Zeus who has no pants to keep his thunder bolt under control. And the jealous popular girl who tears down all of his flings and makes their lives worse instead of confronting him.
I love how this shows that both sides of their relationship is toxic rather than it being about only one of them being the bad person in the relationship. Zeus does cheat on her, but Hera is also overly jealous and paranoid. At least Aphrodite and Hephaestus are still adorable! Plus, it looks like Aphrodite is eventually going to snap when it comes to Hera.
@@BlastFromThePastTheGoodOldDays well it’s that they both seem to be that way already and their treatment of each other only worsens it, Zues’s cheating makes Hera more paranoid and insecure while Her’s need for perfection pressure his flighty playboy attitude
@@DiamondsRexpensivethe point is that they’re both pretty bad neither one is completely in the right both are terrible to each other in different ways, I say this as someone who hates cheaters but I understand the message. one is constantly flighty and unfaithful and the other is controlling perfectionist and they are in a weird toxic codependent yet hate filled relationship, I mean Hera isn’t just that way to him but to others that are supposed to be her friends
In Greek mythology I always felt sorry for Hera. She wasn't cynical or vindictive before she met Zeus. She was prideful but has every right to be since she is a Goddess of Marriage and protector of women, family and childbirth. She was a figure head to humanity especially women hence reputation to her is everything since they seek her. Just wish in this animation series she goes a different path and leaves Zeus.
Yeah, but weren't most of Hera's victims women? Women her husband forced himself on or tricked? That could fall under protecting HER marriage. She does represent a lot of human concepts while Zeus represents a force of nature.
I love the attention to detail in this short. While Hera seems to be bullying aphrodite at the beggining, shes actually projecting her own feelings of insecurity on to her because zeus has cheated on her so many times she feels paranoia. This is exactly why Hera, doesnt want Aphrodite to release the reigns on Ares, she feels that he will do to aphrodite just what Zeus has done to her so many times. Whether it came from a place of love or contempt i dont know but still great attention to detailm
One thing this show nails is writing relationship drama. Both Zeus & Hera are written really well. I like how we get to see the former’s cheating & how it affects the latter first. (It’s the most well-known thing about the pair.) Now, we get a glimpse of the other side. Zeus cheats b/c Hera makes him feel unappreciated & small. It doesn’t excuse his actions, but them plus this dialog lets us know that he is deeply insecure. He feels like he doesn’t measure up to his father. He’s drawn to Hera b/c she always seems so strong & put together. He wants to be that. (Little does he know it’s just a facade.) On the other hand, we have Hera. Now, at first, she just seems mean & shallow, but the truth is she's extremely insecure in her position, & thus overly conscious of her image. To boost & preserve said image she stays w/ Zeus. It’s all about staying on top of the social hierarchy. Moreover, the social stakes are much higher when your social life is for eternity. Hera knows that. She isn’t allowed to have a flaw, b/c having one means she loses her place at the top. It’s honestly exhausting just to think about. Worst of all? In the end, it’s all pointless. Everyone will find out the truth about them eventually. Mortals included. Thus, causing all of Hera’s possessive actions to be for nothing.

Hera was the Goddess of Marriage, Women, and Children. So for her husband to betray their marriage and have children with other women…. he literally desecrated her very role and existence as a Goddess. Of course she was punishing all involved.
I love this interpretation of them! And damn, the design and animation on Hera is brilliant!! Though gotta say, when Zeus said, "You're just like my father" I half expected her to go, "You mean *our* father" 😂
It's nuts how much each episode improves on the previous one in every regard. Animation, sound effects, background music, character movement, little details, it's really cool.
Excellent work, Gaylord. Exactly such creativity and flair is required from the eyes of the viewers. Your animation is fascinating. Never stop your work. 🤩🤩🤩
My goodness. I love how these characters are written! Hera is despicable and Zeus incorrigible. I like the detail of a storm forming when Zeus gets angry. And the last bit with Echo game me chills. Aphrodite is so adorable and sweet though. Very cute. Excellent work👏👏👏👏
I saw the preview in Instagram and am still mind blown by the result. I seriously couldn't see how the story will go, it ended so satisfying. Such an amazing episode/animation !❤
Oh Gosh!!! What a talented team who is behind this. The animation, the script, the design is just perfect. Can't believe the big companies can't do such great job like this.
this really summarized the toxicity of their relationship well but also how Hera was really such a psycho and the fact that she would stop at nothing to off Zeus's victims (the women he tricked and the children produced)
The way you've managed to put greek mythology and high school drama together is amazing! Really hoping to see more of Aphrodite (and maybe her and hephaestus😏) in the next episodes!
@ChibiYesi857a Years ago Monster High and Ever After High was Supposed to have an Crossover Movie but it never happened due to Disney stealing ideas from Ever After High. So that how Descendants was made.
I love how they add some mythology accuracy lol Hera getting easily mad Zeus turning into a bird (which was how he tricked Hera into marrying him lol) And Hera calling Zeus a player🤣
Everything about this episode was perfect. The beginning makes a reference to the Mean Girls movie and at the same time is faithful to the story of the gods, the toxic relationship between Zeus and Hera being shown like a teen movie. How creative the creator is, he uses current and old things and brings them together in the present in a magical way.
Zeus and Hera are just too toxic for each other!! Hera is basically a stalker but I’ll give her points for not getting caught! Clearly something happened to Zeus to turn him into a playboy/fuckboy
The witty banter! The perfect mouth movements! The interesting storyline! I am always blown away by the absolute fabulousness! Keep up the GREAT work! It just keeps getting better! All of the time and effort is BEYOND worth it! Thank you for ALWAYS entertaining us! ❤😊
The amount of progress over the years is awesome, everything from the art, the pacing, the characterization... the quality has just gone up and up and up!
Aaaah yes the most TOXIC couple in all of the mythology of the planet! Pretty amazing depiction! Stellar voice acting! Maybe when Greece was conquered by the Romans Zeus and Hera were focused more on their relationship to protect them. I guess couples therapy is working since we don't hear any new scandals lately.
@@GodsSchool when there's going to be another episode of gods school and the episode Aphrodite and Hephaestus I like that episode these two like each other
I just discovered this series an hour ago thanks to an IG reel and I'm so glad i did it! It's an amazing show! I can't wait for more content, so far my favorite characters are Aphrodite, Persephone, Hades, Eris and actually Hera, she is really well written and this episode portrayed really well his relationship dynamics with Zeus, so realistic. All of the character desings are gorgeous! This needs to be picked by some major platform, we don't have enough greek mythology content outhere.
Wow. I am scared for Echo and Hera’s peacock. This excellent short video implies a lot of greatness. Hera is a great actress around Zeus and a vixen around Echo. Also, Athena and Aphrodite are great besties to be around to handle anything, especially Hera’s nasty demeanor. Bravo to this series!
@@marleysinquefield3100 Named after the Greek myth of Argus Panoptes, a hundred-eyed giant whose eyes were placed into the feathers of the peacock by Hera after his death.
So glad to see this continuing! Worth the wait- and so well done. The animation is top notch, and I love the fact that you don't shy away from showing the toxicity in their relationship (or others.) People really gloss over that aspect of Greek lore if they don't know it deeply- it's rather sad how many people hold them up on a pedestal when in reality, the people who dreamed up the stories were looking for DRAMA based on Human interactions instead of some shiny fluffy story about perfect people.
I must say, the animation has improved incredibly since episode one, it's amazing! It looks so good, really professional, and the voice acting makes it even better 😁 Keep the good work going!
You are an incredibly talented artist, animator and story teller! You deserve a lot more financing for this project! Your designs are beautiful! I liked all of your videos. :)
@@juliemesser2053in the episodes most of the gods are friends/roommates/classmates while in actual mythology mostly all of them are siblings including Zeus and Hera

The blending of Greek mythology and high school drama surprisingly fits so perfectly.
Look, Greek mythology can now be considered a Mexican novela
Yeah, Greek gods were immature and petty because the life expectancy in ancient Greece was 30 yo, so most people alive were immature and petty.

My goodness. I love how these characters are written! Hera is despicable and Zeus incorrigible.
I like the detail of a storm forming when Zeus gets angry. And the last bit with Echo game me chills.
Aphrodite is so adorable and sweet though. Very cute.
Excellent work👏👏👏👏
💯
As a Percy Jackson lover, this is gold
Well as a Greek, i appreciate all the little details you have put in every video!!❤️❤️
amazing job ✨
I saw the preview in Instagram and am still mind blown by the result. I seriously couldn't see how the story will go, it ended so satisfying. Such an amazing episode/animation !❤
2024 we are still here and kicking let’s Go. Good job man
yayyy! I was just thinking "huh winter time, wonder if there will be a new Gods School soon?" and here it is!!!
This one took me a bit longer to make than I thought, but it's finally here ^^
@@GodsSchool are there more episodes of this comning out 😊?
I love the end how Hera just forced echo to do something for her for echos voice back PERFECTION
Oh Gosh!!! What a talented team who is behind this. The animation, the script, the design is just perfect. Can't believe the big companies can't do such great job like this.
Actually it's just one person.
They are so bad for each other but like moths to flame, they can't stay away. No matter what, they'll always be drawn to each other
Someone has to fund this series 👏👏👏
Heras new designs is 🤩
this really summarized the toxicity of their relationship well but also how Hera was really such a psycho and the fact that she would stop at nothing to off Zeus's victims (the women he tricked and the children produced)
2:39 Quite ironic that the thunder started rumbling when she gave Zeus that look, although HE is supposed to be the god of thunder.😂🌩
The way you've managed to put greek mythology and high school drama together is amazing! Really hoping to see more of Aphrodite (and maybe her and hephaestus😏) in the next episodes!
Well dang, call me a caught fish, cause I'm hooked!
This reminds me SO MUCH of Ever After High and Monster High! I'm loving this!
Right? Monster High and Ever After High are my childhood. I wish there were more of Ever After High episodes. Or maybe a crossever with both series. 😊
@ChibiYesi857a Years ago Monster High and Ever After High was Supposed to have an Crossover Movie but it never happened due to Disney stealing ideas from Ever After High.
So that how Descendants was made.
When Zeus said “you’re just like my father”, I expected Hera to say “don’t bring our father into this!”
They are siblings? Why they dating
I love how they add some mythology accuracy lol
Hera getting easily mad
Zeus turning into a bird (which was how he tricked Hera into marrying him lol)
And Hera calling Zeus a player🤣
Everything about this episode was perfect. The beginning makes a reference to the Mean Girls movie and at the same time is faithful to the story of the gods, the toxic relationship between Zeus and Hera being shown like a teen movie. How creative the creator is, he uses current and old things and brings them together in the present in a magical way.
I’m waiting for Hera finding the Burn Book and writing everything she said about Eris or Athena being a sneaky little beetch or something
I love Iris & Athena’s designs!!
Lmao, toxic insanity 😂😂😂… so true to the myth
Zeus and Hera are just too toxic for each other!! Hera is basically a stalker but I’ll give her points for not getting caught! Clearly something happened to Zeus to turn him into a playboy/fuckboy
Well Greek Mythology wise so he wasn't overthrown by son more powerful than him like his father and grandfather before him.
Why would you give her points for not getting caught, that type of behavior is not to be celebrated or rewarded
@@tommycooper4541Nor is being a playboy.
It's funny how Hera is thrown under the bus, but "something happened to Zeus to turn him into a playboy."
Nope, they were both awful.
@@gwynadams4069fr. they only justify what men do. Heaven forbid men to just be awful for absolutely no reason 🤡
I love your cool animated series! The colors, the characters, the music...the Greek gods themselves would be impressed!
Thank you so much for this wonderful series and your hard work! Your art is amazing!
Thank you so much for your support and for your kind words! ✨🙏
Very good. I hope to see more Persephone and Hades. They're the best couple.
because compared his brothers zeus and poseidon, hades is the better husband which is not saying much to be honest but is something xd
Hades loved his wife and three kids including his three-headed dog named Spot
You mean Cerberus@misslangleysoryuisiconic
The witty banter! The perfect mouth movements! The interesting storyline!
I am always blown away by the absolute fabulousness!
Keep up the GREAT work! It just keeps getting better!
All of the time and effort is BEYOND worth it!
Thank you for ALWAYS entertaining us!
❤😊
Thank you very much!! :) ✨
Wow these just keep getting better! Loved the animation, the pacing, and getting more insight on Zeus and Hera's stormy relationship. ❤
Hera: “choose me, pick me, love me”
The amount of progress over the years is awesome, everything from the art, the pacing, the characterization... the quality has just gone up and up and up!
5:15 Well, that’s kinda toxic 🙃
The entire greek pantheon is toxic
@@ffdreamsyeah we can't hold them to mortal standards
This just remind me of one of O.S.P. video where there one time where Zeus pretent to marry a wooden doll just to make Hera jelous...
I'm so impressed by the improvement since the pilot! Please never quit, your work is beautiful!!
Omg, thank you very much, less than a week is my birthday.
Wonderful present 😁
Great work! Keep going❤❤
Thanks, and Happy birthday in advance! 🙂🎈
I love these animated shorts and the history woven into them!💘
Aaaah yes the most TOXIC couple in all of the mythology of the planet! Pretty amazing depiction! Stellar voice acting! Maybe when Greece was conquered by the Romans Zeus and Hera were focused more on their relationship to protect them. I guess couples therapy is working since we don't hear any new scandals lately.
HELLO?? THE ANIMATION KEEPS GETTING BETTER i couldn't stop looking at Hera's face
Haha thanks!! I think it's because of her eyeshadow
@@GodsSchool when there's going to be another episode of gods school and the episode Aphrodite and Hephaestus I like that episode these two like each other
so glad that you’re still doing this!!
This should really be more popular,your skill is amazing
rushed over here as soon as i saw the notification! ❤
I just discovered this series an hour ago thanks to an IG reel and I'm so glad i did it! It's an amazing show! I can't wait for more content, so far my favorite characters are Aphrodite, Persephone, Hades, Eris and actually Hera, she is really well written and this episode portrayed really well his relationship dynamics with Zeus, so realistic. All of the character desings are gorgeous! This needs to be picked by some major platform, we don't have enough greek mythology content outhere.
Lmao, when he said "Just like my father..." They have the same dad😂😂😂
Which is mess up
@@serena7up175 always
Wow. I am scared for Echo and Hera’s peacock. This excellent short video implies a lot of greatness. Hera is a great actress around Zeus and a vixen around Echo. Also, Athena and Aphrodite are great besties to be around to handle anything, especially Hera’s nasty demeanor. Bravo to this series!
The peacock's name is Argos.
@@firerose4495 As in Jason and The Argonauts or something else? I’m just curious. Don’t mind me. 😊
@@marleysinquefield3100 Named after the Greek myth of Argus Panoptes, a hundred-eyed giant whose eyes were placed into the feathers of the peacock by Hera after his death.
@@firerose4495 That's odd but also radical at the same time! Thanks for telling me.
I love this series so much! the animation is excellent and the voice actors are all top tier. another great episode!
Thank you very much!
@@GodsSchool i love this video 😊 i hope you still do this and more of this 😊
So glad to see this continuing! Worth the wait- and so well done. The animation is top notch, and I love the fact that you don't shy away from showing the toxicity in their relationship (or others.)
People really gloss over that aspect of Greek lore if they don't know it deeply- it's rather sad how many people hold them up on a pedestal when in reality, the people who dreamed up the stories were looking for DRAMA based on Human interactions instead of some shiny fluffy story about perfect people.
The animation and the writing are AMAZING! The fact that everyone sees how toxic they are to each other means you're doing your job right!
Nice to see two siblings get along with each other
Wow, I'm getting that old school disney animation vibe here. It's like the Hercules series but more grown up with updated visuals......
Yep, sub. :)
I just flew in here as soon as this pinged..phew...
Hera with smudged eyes ...chef kiss..
I must say, the animation has improved incredibly since episode one, it's amazing! It looks so good, really professional, and the voice acting makes it even better 😁 Keep the good work going!
You are an incredibly talented artist, animator and story teller! You deserve a lot more financing for this project! Your designs are beautiful! I liked all of your videos. :)
PLEASEEEEE 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 more Aphrodite🫶🏽😩I’m in LUV with yer series I’ve binged so much now
dang you portrayed their toxic-ness so well and I just love how it ties to the myth in the end so well. you really did write crazy Hera
Её такой сделал сам Зевс. Если бы не его подлость и измены, Гера была бы нормальной.
@@Hannagiris probably
I love that they have the same hair color and eye colour to emphasize that they're siblings 🤌🏾
Siblings?
@@juliemesser2053in the episodes most of the gods are friends/roommates/classmates while in actual mythology mostly all of them are siblings including Zeus and Hera
While that's true in myth. I don't know if that's the case in the series given Demeter is Persephone's friend instead of mom.
LMAOOO
This was worth the wait! I love EVERYTHING about this episode! The Animation. The Drama. Poor Echo 😢
I love Greek mythology, and I love this series, the representation of the characters, how it adapts the original stories, this series intrigues me, I think they have done a very good job, IT IS INCREDIBLE!
Those responsible for the entire thing I'm talking script, animation, character development.....everything deserves to be recognized for this. Truly in love with everything
