So, here's the fun part. Apollo's association and connection with the sun is quite late in Greek mythology. In earlier traditions (Iliad) he is literally antagonistic and destructive, at the same time he is a healer. That's because he was the God of the Wild Hunt (Odin and Fionn Mac Cumhaill are too). This type of God is known for his violent nature, an impersonal god for everyone.
Apollo is always ambiguous. Remember, Apollo is both the Wolf killer that protected the weak and the werewolf. Apollo championed the founding of law courts and democracy and he was a patron of aristocracy. Apollo's myths are tied up in the Transformations of Greek society. The Orishas, as opposed to the Olympians, are poorly documented. Thus, only the most modern forms of the Orishas are visible to us. If we had the best literature on the Orishas during the Atlantic Slave trade, we might see the Gods of Africa supporting slavery and the attenting horrors. Shango looks better than Apollo because his faults are hidden from view.
Apollo (like Perseus, Heracles, Perun, Set, Indra, etc.), a dragon/serpent-slayer deity, is descended from the storm-god Perkwunos. While Odin (like Dionysus, Ouranos, Shiva, Osiris, Veles, etc.) is descended from Welnos - chthonic god of the night-sky (opposite of Dyeus - god of day-sky), a cattle-thief, and mortal enemy of Perkwunos.
@@mercianthane2503 I mean the dragon slayer deity is also thought to be the son of the sky god, so there's another correlation there. They're a little off in saying they're descended from Perkwunos as it's typically Perkwunos as the dragon slayer with Dyeus as his father, but I think that points more towards a transfer of traits rather than it being just unrelated. Apollo almost seems to be a reflection/inversion of the initial dragon-slayer myth with Zeus as the descendant of Ouranous, another Sky god, killing Typhon as the first dragon-slayer and thunder god, and then he sires Apollo as a new sun/sky god who in turn slays another dragon/serpent, Python. I think you should refute his claim with something a little more meaningful than a nope considering there is considerable evidence to back up his stance. Would love to hear your thoughts.
@@Samtastrophi I think the concept of Apollo slaying the serpent surely might be a borrowing from the Thunderer, or, since Apollo might be the Rudra-type god in this scenario, it could represent a task that any member of the Warrior Band must accomplish: slaying a foe or beast, but I don't know who accurate this could be. Zeus tale is not surprising, in fact I think his story is actually of the Mithraic God delivering the final blow to a Rudra-type God, or a manifestation of that god in the climatic conflict. Lugh, who equals Zeus in his theological origins, slays Balor; yet in another versions of the Cath Maighe Tuireadh, he kills Goll Mac Morna, a member of the Fianna, the Irish band of warriors, and Goll means "One-Eyed. The slaying of the serpent does survives in Ireland in the story of Fergus Mac Leti (another identity for Fergus Mac Roích) when he kills the Muirdris and then he dies after winning the battle.
You missed a major part of Apollo and Daphne's story. Apollo had angered Eros (Cupid) and so to get back at Apollo, Eros saw his affection for the water nymph and shot her with one of his lead arrows. That is what turned Daphne against Apollo, instead of falling in love with the first person she saw, she was horrified by Apollo's appearance and ran screaming for her father to save her.
@@uchihalite-nd9vb Apollo insulted Eros' skill with a bow and arrow after Apollo had killed the giant snake Python. So Eros shot him with a golden arrow to make him fall in love and hit Daphne with a lead arrow to make her terrified of Apollo. So she ran...
@@spikeinmadness5005I love how whenever the Greek Gods want to get back at one another, some random mortal or creature gets used as bait and either end up cursed, dead or blamed and punished for the whole thing ... 💀. The whole Pantheon is just frat-bros and soro-gals sh*tting on everyone else 😭.
He said he was gonna do a separate video on Cupid, because Cupid was the greek name for Eros which was a Roman story. I appreciate hearing the tale though !
What people don't get about greek pantheom is that it reflex the people that worshiped them. They lived in a chaotic, capricious, and violent world. But the reason these characters are still relevant is because despite being gods they lived lives full of tragedy, conflict, and adversity. In this they validated said lifestyle, plus people are so focused on these stories they ignored the roles these gods played in everyday life. Zeus was the first god to break the chain of fratricide by sparing Kronos, and he didn't persecuted his sons either, as you pointed out. It is easy to be good now-a-days, people are in love with their own goodness despite enver paying any price for it. Let this sink in.
The version of Cassandra I heard was that Hera added the curse because she was on the Greek's side and feared that the Trojans would win because of Cassandra. Since no one can take back a boon from a god (not even another god) she put a caveat on it to nullify it.
so excited for when you do artemis, but at the same time kinda scared. i love her but i know i‘m not gonna be able to see her in the same way ever again after you shred into her as well 🙃 another amazing vid
Apollo was always ambiguous. He's both Apollo the Wolf slayer and Apollo the werewolf. Also the available stories about Apollo come from more than a thousand years of literary tradition. Just think of the differences between Merlin in the Vita Merlin and T.H.White's Merlin. The gods of most other traditions are either taken from near contemporary sources like the Loa or the Orishas. Or from far less mutable sources like the Shen or the Kami. Apollo represents transitional stages of Greek society from nomadic warrior tribes to the real, if flawed, democracies of the Greek city states.
@DinossauroDaAmazonia Another very good example. I once read an essay that claimed that Apollo, Lugh Lamfada, and Odin were all different aspects of an ancient solar/light/seasonal cycle god. That the radically different aspects were different aspects of nature. I'd need more evidence than he showed, but the idea is intriguing.
I was looking for Hades & Persephone story, and stumbled upon your videos. Great story telling and wonderful humorous take on otherwise quite disturbing things, however, they still don’t loose their importance! Love that! ♥️ Love these videos, keep up the good work! ♥️
I just binged this whole series and it's so cool. It's fascinating yet terrifying (and a little annoying) the lengths some gods go because they're bored, need therapy, and don't have a 9-5/regular job
Thank you for being so honest about these ancient people who are often praised and worshiped but don’t deserve it. I feel the same way about the Pharaohs, kings, queens and tribal chiefs. It’s sad, most of our “heroes” were narcissistic psychopaths. 😔 😊
We have to remember ancient people's gauge of morality and concepts of right or wrong is completely different from ours today. Not that this makes their bad deeds any better but their acts wouldn't have been judged in the same way we would today.
The fact that he spit in Cassandra's mouth instead of kissing her to make her tell lies is just twisted. No wonder he couldn't get a girl! And when he couldn't, he started chasing guys. What else can you expect coming from a messed-up family?
Many ancient deities have both destructive and creative aspects . Apollo's role as a god of light and healing does not preclude him from also being a destroyer , just as the Sun is the source of life , it can also sear and burn . Nature has both destructive and creative power and the pagan deities embody this , it doesn't make them evil . Apollo's arrows slew the serpent Python , but they could also inflict disease as in the Iliad .
Cool channel man. I find mythology so interesting. It's like an insight into the people who made up these stories. Maybe even an insight into some basic human desires and needs.
What I would do for a husband who would tell me Greek stories like this everyday😭I LOVE mythology and your videos and sense of humour - effing subscribed!!💜💃🏾 #LoveFromNamibia🇳🇦
Your videos are brilliant, good humour and good to learn new things from. Really hoping for a full run down if Egyptian mythology after these 🤞 keep up the good work dude!
Hades: “hey, Zeus, Apollo’s kid keeps reviving the dead, could you please stop him from doing that?” Zeus: “you got it bro” *lighting strike* Hades: “not like *THAT* you *HEATHEN!“* (Yes, this is an OSP reference)
This is the first time I have listened to you. I've been rapt for the last 23 minutes. I love Greek myth and now I love your interpretation - you are such fun. Thank you so much for the most enjoyable video. I've subscribed. I'll be watching your other uploads. G.
Fantastic video and that crow origin. Bro😮🔥and since u mentioned Delphi and Asclepius, if its not already on your list, a separate video on their stories would be amazing too. U already did give a head start here, I bet there are more fascinating things about them for a full separate video. Sorry for the big rant 😅😅
You do these twice a week? That's crazy. I've just stumbled across your channel and i like the way you tell these tales. Time to listen to you talk about Artemis.
Never fails another great video i look forward to them every week they are something kinda great u know what I mean informative and humorous love this channel great job bro can't wait for the next one
Love your channel my dude! I never miss a vid! Followed you over from tiktok. I even got my husband interested, he loathes mythology, but he cant stop laughing. He’s also reacting to the stories like “oh shiiiit thats messed up!” And “shhhh i cant hear!” Lol GOTEM! 😂
hahaha I LOVE that haha. that's incredible. makes me very happy to hear. glad you are both enjoying the videos. just dropped my new video too - hope you enjoy
@@irfanismail3652 its a name for the devil that the Catholic church came up with. If you mean eos.thats a female deity lol. Satans roman equivalent is saturn and greek is cronus.
I love the accuracy on Apollo from an anime called Danmachi: is it wrong to pick up girl in the dungeon? He also seeked out the protagonist Bell Cranel, a boy that was rising in prominence in there adventurer city, and also because he wants to mess with Freya who also loves Bell, and Hestia who is part of her group. He likes messing with other gods, plus I knew about Kassandra because of Danmachi too, her story is the most tragic.
Learning these extra details about Apollo really takes my ideas of "people worshiping the false god/the sun/the Son" to a different level, thanks my dude for this video! Regarding Kassandra, part of her curse was that she MUST vocalize her premonitions to others, so she couldnt just hide or lie about it....sneaky sneaky curse lol
man i am in love with your videos i have been watching them straight for 3 hours just a humble request can you plz make a video on achilles that guy was legendary.....
achilles is probably my absolute favorite tale, so 100% that video is coming. I am just working my way through the mythology, so it will be a while until I get to achilles, but 100% coming
@@Briefed_Mythology whoa dude thanks a lot apart from promising the video on achilles you actually replied to me and I can’t believe you too love his tale….this literally feels so honourable that such a great and talented guy took time for me and we both admire the legendary last hero 💀
Delphi wasent a island, Apollo wasent the God of medicine thats Asclepius, Daphne wasent a follower of Artemis, the Sahara was created by Typhon spitting fire, Hyperion is the Titan of the east, Helios was the sun god before Apollo and the version where eros struck Apollo with a love arrow to make the god fall in love with Daphne thats the greek version of the myth, and also he pierced Daphne with a led arrow so she felt repultion for Apollo
Daphne was a follower of artemis. There are several creation myths for the sahara, this is one if them. Hyperion is also the heavenly light, and I literally say that about apollo and helios, I also mention that about eros and Daphne - so I don't know what you mean by that. the only thing I got wrong is that Delos is not an island, but it is by the water so that tripped me up.
I was born a leo. So in the beginning off my study in astrology. they tell you all the good bits of apollo as the sun god. And a little of the dark side. It's only later on. That you find that apollo was a git. But some of Leo's weakness is pride and false ego. In some book I read many moons ago. So don't know if it was Greek or Roman. That apollo was the sun and Helio was the charioteer. Am still trying to see which myths of the ancestors were the worst. Greeks.are in the top 5. 1st in Google. Lol😅.I could add modern belives in this. But I don't won't to get in trouble. Lol 😊.. Great stuff. Learned a lot. 😊👍
I've been reading lore Olympus on web toon and I know the author took a lot of the old stories and put her own spins on them but I love finding out that the Apollo being very full of himself thing, LOL well there's a reason for that haha but Daphne is definitely not a virgin in the other story haha
Hay briefed I got a good idea for a new series. I don’t know what the name would be for the series, but you can do videos on the similarities of all the mythologies. I feel like you could do a nice spin on this. Then people will be able to hear more about their favorite religion or religions if your into believin more than one pantheon
Another masterful job of synthesis! Keep up the great work! (Oh, and this isn't at all important, but I noticed a couple of little moments when the frame was flipped and had to wonder about that.)
that was just meant to be poseidon talking to zeus haha - so whenever it was flipped is poseidon talking 😅 I thought it would eb a good way to visualize it
18seconds into your video, you have my attention!🤣 I did know some of what you shared about Apollo. Learned some more. I’ll be seeing you twice a week; for a while a bit more…as I have some catching up to do.🤣 Been studying 📚 lots last couple years, mainly because I find that mythology has a curious component to astronomy & astrology.
Feel like Zeus is given a raw deal. Just imagine how many kids most mortals would have if eternally youthful and tens of thousands year old. Is just other Olympians are basically asexual in comparison to mortals.
Also, a kinky detail: when Kassandra gets the gift of foresight but then rejects Apollo, the god asks for just a little kiss. She doesn't think too much of this and consents. That's when Apollo spits in her mouth and hence forth no one believe in her prophecies!
Depends on how you look at him we all have good & bad in us! & we never know what truly drives a person to do the things they do sometimes they don’t even know

whaddup jai - yh usually I wanna upload a bit earlier on Saturday, but I was delayed. hope you enjoyed it
I was born a leo. So in the beginning off my study in astrology. they tell you all the good bits of apollo as the sun god. And a little of the dark side. It's only later on. That you find that apollo was a git. But some of Leo's weakness is pride and false ego. In some book I read many moons ago. So don't know if it was Greek or Roman. That apollo was the sun and Helio was the charioteer. Am still trying to see which myths of the ancestors were the worst. Greeks.are in the top 5. 1st in Google. Lol😅.I could add modern belives in this. But I don't won't to get in trouble. Lol 😊.. Great stuff. Learned a lot. 😊👍
So funny to hear these stories in your modern terms, thank you! ❤
you're welcome. and thank you for watching bonnie 😊
You are one funny guy and a good story teller. Wish one day in this sense I would become more like you
🥹❤️ thank you
Love this , always waiting for the uploads , ad now longer 😱 keep it up and congratulations 🎉
Imo the greatest prick after the zeus himself, only department he was lacking is raw power.
I've been reading lore Olympus on web toon and I know the author took a lot of the old stories and put her own spins on them but I love finding out that the Apollo being very full of himself thing, LOL well there's a reason for that haha but Daphne is definitely not a virgin in the other story haha
These videos are amazing bro
thanks bro 🫡
You Had a fuzz on your head in the Last Video as well 😂😂😂
Another great Video....🎉🎉❤
damn - sneaky little fuzz been co hosting two videos now
Been waiting for this one
Psalm 81
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day
Hay briefed I got a good idea for a new series. I don’t know what the name would be for the series, but you can do videos on the similarities of all the mythologies. I feel like you could do a nice spin on this. Then people will be able to hear more about their favorite religion or religions if your into believin more than one pantheon
that's a really good idea. once I introduced other mythologies to this channel, I might just do that
Great video! 👍🏻
I’m already warming up for when Daphne is making her entree.
Apollo did not have it going on...apart from his temper OfCourse 🤣 cheers to another great video.🥂
Another masterful job of synthesis! Keep up the great work!
(Oh, and this isn't at all important, but I noticed a couple of little moments when the frame was flipped and had to wonder about that.)
that was just meant to be poseidon talking to zeus haha - so whenever it was flipped is poseidon talking 😅 I thought it would eb a good way to visualize it
@@Briefed_Mythology I guess I should have realized that! Very clever--and much too clever for me!
Apollo is also Nurgal. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Nurgal is the son of Enlil. Nurgal Killed Enki. He was a rough character
You sir make a fantastic video
Cello Prelude by Bach. That opening rulz

18seconds into your video, you have my attention!🤣
I did know some of what you shared about Apollo. Learned some more.
I’ll be seeing you twice a week; for a while a bit more…as I have some catching up to do.🤣
Been studying 📚 lots last couple years, mainly because I find that mythology has a curious component to astronomy & astrology.
unfortunately I've since had to kind of dial it back down to one video a week, but I'll be seeing you once a week then haha
🤣No worries!
I’ll be here.😊
Keep these stories coming.
yessir 🫡
Highlight of my week
Guess immortality doesn’t teach you pull-out game.
this made me laugh 😭 heimdall can relate
Feel like Zeus is given a raw deal. Just imagine how many kids most mortals would have if eternally youthful and tens of thousands year old. Is just other Olympians are basically asexual in comparison to mortals.
These videos are so great and the use of what I can only assume is AI ART is fantastic
thank you, thank you 🥹
@@Briefed_Mythology you really are on your way to perfecting this style. I have told so many people about your channel.
Nice video keep it coming!!!
new video just dropped 🫡
Your love of dawg is commendable! None of that Greek mythology love 😂
Apollo (with Hades) happens to be my favorite Greek god.
Apollo is just like modern day music celebrities
I never really looked into Apollo. Then I started reading lore Olympus. I really appreciate your videos. ❤
Also, a kinky detail: when Kassandra gets the gift of foresight but then rejects Apollo, the god asks for just a little kiss. She doesn't think too much of this and consents. That's when Apollo spits in her mouth and hence forth no one believe in her prophecies!
I love the doggy behind you......
Apollo sounds like a chad ;-)
accurate haha
The dog in the background is as scared as we are, like he's listening as well.
Depends on how you look at him we all have good & bad in us! & we never know what truly drives a person to do the things they do sometimes they don’t even know
Great material!
Oh, Solomon, always throwing dirt on the greats, sigh
Can’t help but imagine Apollo chasing after the nymph while making barking noises, like a huge creep.
love your videos
Ai talks to its self in pictures. It’s highly aware. Like meee😊
Who doesn’t love a narcissist? Another great story
Epic story 🌞🔥
