      I remember that also made me a bit sad as a kid, because I wondered "do people really need to believe they could be dealing with a higher power in order to just be nicer to others?"
      Personally, I like trying to keep an eye out for stories with big floods in them.

      you're thinking everything too literal and not symbolical or philosophical. Xenia means hospitality to strangers even zeus was often called Xenios, which proves hospitality was in the very center of the Greek ideology. Zeus and Hermes were not in the story to terrorize the civilians but they rather represent justice. Gods were often used to explain natural phenomena, to keep people in order in a lawless era and to provide support in hard times, much like today. And yes in that old days, you were expected to open your house to strangers and provide food and shelter, which doesn't mean leaving them alone in your house while you went to sleep. It means provide food, inquire them where they came from and what is their purpose. Metaphorical stories like these made people of every intellectual level to conceive these concepts

    Fun fact: This myth is referenced in the New Testament. In Acts 14, after witnessing Paul and Barnabas heal a man who had been lame since birth, the people of Lystra concluded that they were Hermes and Zeus come in human form and tried to offer sacrifices to them. The fate of the inhospitable townspeople was no doubt on their minds.

    • @X23Ninja

      Thanks for pointing this out I noticed this as well. They thought Paul was Hermes and Barnabus was Zeus which funny because one would expect Paul to be mistaken for Zeus not Barnabus due to Paul being such a important Apostle. However it actually makes sense because Hermes was the messenger and spokesman of the Gods and Paul was trained in Roman Rhetoric.

    • @videogollumer
      @videogollumer 2 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      Yeah, specifically, they thought Paul was Hermes because he was doing most of the talking, which Hermes was said to do on Zeus' behalf even when both were present. Of course, when Paul and Barnabas heard about what they were doing; they were dismayed, tore their robes (which then was a way of expressing dismay) and ran out before them; telling them that they were ordinary people like them and that they've come to preach to them that they should turn away from their in-vain worship of lifeless gods and to the one true living God.
      This isn't the only instance in the Bible of people of a city paying heed to a human messenger of God because they appeared in a way that was both extraordinary and seemed to tie into their beliefs. Now, this requires some background context. Jonah was regurgitated on to the land by a whale, a huge creature from the sea. The Ninevites had some sort of fish god that was important to their culture; so with word that he had been vomited up by a whale (great fish), they knew he must be a divinely sent messenger.
      I think these instances are what C. S. Lewis, being Christian Apologist, was thinking about when he said that he believes that pagan religion could be a preparation for Christianity, not to say that he was advocating purposefully using it that way. This is just my observation, anyway.

    Awesome story! It's an archetypal story, which is why it's so good.
    Baucis and Philemon sacrificed what little they had to the highest principle, to Zeus, the highest of all gods - making it the ultimate sacrifice. Whereas all who didn't make this sacrifice got swallowed by chaos, washed away by the flood that was sent by the gods. Baucis and Philemon are full of love, i.e. selflessness. Notice how they didn't request anything grand like a marble tempel - and for that very reason, the received one. All they wanted was each other, and that they already had. Turning into trees is obviously a symbol for eternal transformation, as the tree is the underlying, unchanging structure, sheding and regrowing its leaves forever.

    Odin has the same myth of randomly wandering the world and seeking refuge from those that would offer to invite them as a guest. The Olympic games was sort of dedicated to Zeus and this act of xenia, which is why rival coutries, warring states and any nation must take an oath to not bring arms, or any hostility while visiting as a guest during the games.

      The townsfolk would probably also have survived if they had offered to bring food out and have a picnic outside. Maybe bring the kitchen table outside to be a picnic table. There are many options between "I will allow you into my home and give you all the food I have" and "I will send you away without even the slightest help". Borrowing from another religion: offering to put them up for the night in the stable might have sufficed.

As soon as the old man was gone an enormous storm covered the entire farm, cattle and people in ice and today from this particular mountain runs a glacier, the only one in the region.

    A lot of people in the comments don't understand ancient greek culture, which just shows that reading Percy Jackson and playing Hades doesn't give you the full picture. You're looking at this from the modern perspective, of course you wouldn't let a stranger into your house. But at a time like this, it was actually the reverse situation the guy who you'd let into your house most likely wasn't a robber or a crackhead, but a normal traveler. Travelers were common, people didn't have cars, they had to often travel for several days on foot, they were the ones who would be afraid of strangers, because you might get robbed while on the road and you don't have a lot of food anyway.
    This is why Xenia was SO important, taverns were not a thing. Refusing a traveler who asks for shelter would be like refusing a man dying on the road because he might be on drugs. Which - granted, modern western society does see it like that sadly, and sadly not without reason. But still, Travelers were the ones with far more worries, since they had to rely on other's kindness and if someone wanted to stab them and take their stuff, they would not be able to do anything about it.
    This is why it was specifically Zeus and Hermes who were the gods doing the test - Zeus is actually the god of hospitality, and since he's the most important, the law of hospitality was HUGE. Refusing a traveler was a giant taboo, and once someone's under your roof, you would not hurt them. That unwritten godly law makes sure that if you're in need of shelter, you would have a good chance that the people you're staying with would not murder you in your sleep. And since Zeus (For better or for worse) does not take no for an answer, his enforcement of that rule was strict. People respected the law of hospitality like no other. And Hermes was there too because.... Well, he's a god of travelers. And they were disguised as travelers. No deep meaning there. Though I do like to think that Hermes tagged along just so he could eat for free and spend time with his distant father

      How many children do you think Zeus has? You can come to the channel and take part in the survey.

    I actually read this myth in Ovid's Methamophoses. It's Zeus/Jupiter and Poseidon/Neptune who visited the couple, no Hermes/Mercury to be found in the story. The presence of Neptune explains why it was a flood that destroyed the village.
    It's a really good story though, and you animated it well.

      Well, Ovid has a record of rewriting myths. Also many myths have various version writted by different people in different times with different biases (Ovid was heavy anti-authority).
      So you can't really argue "cannon" (unless, of course, Ovid) but identify the message and parts that stayed consistent.
      Side note: Zeus is god of sky and storms, so he could reasonably cause floods too.

    I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. 🙏🏼

      Zeus would probably be outraged that they ask for the people that offended them back then punish the couple. Plus they is questioning his judgment a god
