Thanks for watching, SoloFam! I’ve been wanting to make an episode about Cerberus for a LONG time and have gotten a ton of requests for it so hopefully it lived up to your expectations 🙏🏼😁 make sure to comment your thoughts and any suggestions you have for future episodes of Mythology Explained!
8:00 "Poisonous" snakes again, huh? I guess Cerberus wasn't all that dangerous considering he would only be able to harm you if you tried tasting him. You rascal, I bet you did it on purpose this time.
Should have also cut in a -my name is what? "Slim shady"!. Reference into that opening. 😂 Would have been so random and perfect. 👍 Still awesome video love your channel.
Have ya checked out Curberus and Herk on the TV series Once upon a Time? That was a good spin-off on those characters. Sorry, I can't remember the season they came into. There was only 7 seasons, shouldn't be to hard to find. LOL! I have all 7, so I'll see if I can find it. As always, fun to watch and learn the different versions!
Cerberus is a good boy By the way, I'm taking a language related course and my english teacher just assigned us with talking about a classic fairy tale, its origins and versions through out time. Because I already new your videos, I chose Cinderella and got an A so... Thank you! :D
There is evidence that Cerberus just translates to "spotted" which means to me that Hades saw a giant three headed hellhound and named it Spot, and that's adorable
I know it's a random Harry potter reference, but what Hades did by naming his dog spot is similar to what Hagrid did giving the name fluffy to the three headed dog
Most people: Cerberus the terrifying three-headed Hellhound Me: look at that cute little puppy I want to scratch all the three heads, who's a good boy?
Having the rationalized version to compare the myths with would be beyond awesome !!!!! Love these videos!!!!! Can't get enough!!!!!!!! Say "hi" to Gunther for me💛💛💛
Honestly seeing Dastardly make an appearance in the Scoob movie made me happy. It gave me a nostalgic feeling from the old days of Boomerang since I loved Wacky Races
A lot of people may call me insane but I would want to have Cerberus as my pet dog. Especially since I found out that his name translates to Spot so Cerberus is just a really good boy who deserves a lot of love for all the hard work he does.
One thing you might be interested in is that Cerberus means "Spotted One" in ancient Greek. Yes, Hades named his dog "Spot." **Refreshes the page to see the comments. Notices about 1/5 of everyone made a similar comment. Sobs.** [edit] Apparently this is not true. :(
What is really messed up about Cerberus and Herackles's meeting was that both Cerberus and the Nemean Lion were children of Typhon and Ekidna. So when Hurc comes strolling in to take Cerberous, he does it while wearing the skin of his brother.....
Bro. I've known about Orthos and Cerberus for years, yet I didn't know they were brothers. Thanks for that tidbit. I have no idea how I didn't know that. LMAO
Yeah my dnd character also carries thia title. He worships Ceto. He is that game's father of wemics, and a slew of redeemed incubus/succubus, redeemed cambions, and redeemed lamia. No wonder he worships the goddess of sea monsters.
One of the things I like about your videos is that you put the adds in good places so that they don't come in the middle of a word or otherwise make a hash of whatever you are saying. Makes it much easier to listen! Great content and presentation, too!
I like the rationale tales as well, with Greek mythology I believe they were based on these true story's and over the years became more myth like. Even places like Mount Olympus and Hades I could see being based on real places. Ancient Greece is so fascinating as well as Ancient Egypt! And Gunther at the was freaking fantastic haha!!
Gunthur is so cute with his extra heads lol cheers and thankyou Jon for more great insight and knowledge. I've learned so much from you and all that u accomplished. Greek myths are as you say easy to explain but sometimes difficult for us humans to imagine. Im still thrilled and happy to be as part of your creations. Every week without fail you've always been there for me and all of us here. You've made a lot of rough nights a little less rough. Your fan Dan :)
Thank you Jon for bringing to your viewers the Greek and Roman legends. I read then when I was a pre-teen and loved them. So you have kept a satisfied viewer and THANK YOU. Although unable to be Patreon I do always hit the like button in the hope it eventually gives you some recognition for the work you do. As I now an old "dear" it is also most appreciated that you have sub-text so everyone can appreciate your videos. Again THANK YOU.
Yes please continue to rationalize the messed up myth origins. It is very interesting and you always do a good job with your explanations and story telling. Making them really easy to follow.
I love this episode! Cerberus is one of my favorite in Greek myth, can you do one about Fenrir (Norse Mythology) next time, I already know a lot about Fenrir but I want to see how you would talk about him
You forgot what his name is translated into. Cerberus means spotted. So he is literally named Spot. Also I don't mind the rationalization of the myths.
I did learn something new about my favorite pup, and this sort of rational analysis is great. Everything I've ever seen you do is great, but that's beside the point.
Bonus fact: in some translations of Ancient Greek to English, Cerberus translates to Spot. The guardian of the entrance to the underworld is named Spot. And he’s a very good boy.
Congrats to you and your Patreon for this milestone! I'm so impressed at how you've grown the channel in the couple years I've followed and watched! I thought it was a big deal right up front when you said this vid was brought to us by your Patreon instead of a sponsor. Great work! Also, I find the research into practical history around mythology quite fascinating and would love to hear more of that in your content.
Thank you for this video! Really enjoyed it, especially the part about the rationalizations. Please continue with that! I had no idea that was even a thing so thank you so much for teaching me something new

Damnit. I was hoping the guardian of the underworld was named "Spot," if only for the "Out, Damned Spot!" pun.
Your good br.
Jon Solo thanks for that bit f fact. I hear same thing, I always wonder about the name “Spot” was kinda weird name for a dog of hell.
Yes more rationalized myths please
But I named my miniature spotted Dokey Kerebos because of this 😭
Because Cerberus was the child of Typhon, he was a grandson of Gaia. And who else was a grandson of Gaia? Hades. Talk about family business.
Lol the godly tree is so messed up
Abe G it’s not a tree at all. It’s a wreath lol
@@alysesantillana2801 it's not a wreath, a wreath is way too neat.
Literally everyone was a descendant if Gaia.

Gunther as Cerberus is absolutely the best thing I've seen all week.
Who is your favorite god?
@@bigmonster1886 which mythos do you prefer, Roman or Hellenistic?
F@#$ yeah!! About Gunther.
@@TheMeatMon dude if I was ever to die and the Greek gods were real I would just vibe with hades so I could play with Cerberus like if your telling me this dog is bigger then the biggest dog in the world even by even by a little bit it just means more fluff
For some reason I always imagined he acted like a puppy. Like he was huge but was cute and friendly.
I think most of us did
To people who don't try to defy the laws of nature, yes .
Like Clifford the big red dog. 👍
Same. He's a big, cuddly, cute, good boy
That also (in most descriptions) spits fire balls
Giant dog, multiple heads, blood, guts, sparking eyeballs.....
My dumbass: “PUPPY!”
Well his name Does translate to "Spot"

Typhon would be interesting to hear about.

I agree and mother one!
DAMN STRAIGHT!!!!!!! How about a myth-accurate motion picture?
What a lucky day, graduated, got gifts and a JON SOLO video that I wanna watch. How beautiful.
Congrats
**high five** I recently graduated too! Congrats on your hard work!

Hi Jon I’m a big fan of your content. I just wanted to let you know that these videos are awesome as are you. Keep doing what you’re doing!
hey thanks Elyssa!
I always wanted to know more about Cerberus but I was unable to find out anything else about his back story. Great job, Jon
I didn't know there are messed up origins about hellhounds. Cerberus specifically
When I saw this video, I got so happy, Cerberus is one of my favourite creatures from Greek mythology!
Jeez this dude always finds a way to brighten my day i was crying like one minute ago but then I just hear him talking bout scooby doo 😂
aw sorry to hear you were having a rough time yesterday! glad I could help out a bit though
"which he plagiarised from my tinder title" I died at this😂
I love this channel and the intro today was hilarious. Would love to see you talk more about Scooby Doo some time.

Cerberus is basically a giant three headed doggo thats still upset for getting fixed
been looking for this kinda video for months, my absolute favorite character in Greek mythology ever.
Cerberus! THE BEST BOY!!!
What is said: "Big, scary dog with three heads"
What I hear: "Fluffy, adorable puppy baby with three smoochers 💜"
Yes notification and Gunther with three heads is adorable
You should definitely cover the rationalized version of myths more often, it is really interesting. PS, your little pet Cerberus was very cute!
jon: talking about pop culture references to cerberus
me: waiting for him to mention poptropica’s mythology island like
👁👄👁
What i like is jon solo talks about characters that you think they had little role in their world, but the video has like more than 10min
My favorite "theory" is that Cerberus translates to spot and that hades names his hell hound spot. It fits with who hades is as a god in my opinion.
Layne Martin but it’s not true
Great video Jon! Cerberus is in my mmorpg game I play online. I always wanted to know his story so this video explained it well 😁
Oh man! I love Cerberus EVEN MORE, tho that’s a really messed up origin story/stories 😅
Thank you for your Greek mythology videos. I've been into Greek mythology since I was in elementary school.
Me too!
Yes! More myths!
I actually did enjoy the rationalization breakdowns too! Great video 👍
I like the rationale tales as well, with Greek mythology I believe they were based on these true story's and over the years became more myth like. Even places like Mount Olympus and Hades I could see being based on real places. Ancient Greece is so fascinating as well as Ancient Egypt! And Gunther at the was freaking fantastic haha!!
I’m Always entertained watching this channel
John could talk about anything and make it interesting
Jon
YOU ARE THE BEST, I HONESTLY WAS LOOKING THIS WEEK TO SEE IF YOU HAD DONE A STORY ON CERBERUS AND LOOK HERE, YOU ARE DOING HIM!!!

I haven’t watched this movie as yet but dammmmn😊 I cant wait to do so
The Cerberus costume on Gunther.... 🤣 💜
Now the real question who would win in a fight Cerberus from Greek mythology or fenrir from Norse mythology
kratos and BOI

Love you Gunther! I like the added back story of realism, of where the stories might have originated.
Jon solo: these are the messed up origins or Cerberus
Me: can you really make Cerberus dark, like he is the mutt from the underworld LOL
Yes please continue to rationalize the messed up myth origins. It is very interesting and you always do a good job with your explanations and story telling. Making them really easy to follow.
Now that you did a video on Pluto's pooch, I demand you'd do a video on Usir's (Osiris) own pooch, Ammit
I swear your channel makes learning fun cuz you usually get to the entertaining part almost instantly always
I was honestly hoping you would do this because my dads name is Cerberus 😊
I can't for you to tackle The Norse and Egyptian myths cause I'm really enjoying your Mythology Explained series.

Stella Loreley not really though
Lol Jon, I'm kind of in love with the thought of Cerberus having a crazy demon chinchilla head...😁
Yasss I'm early and it's about my dog bff Cerberus

Great video 🥰 As a mythology enthusiast and classicist, I enjoyed every moment and am looking forward to seeing even more.
Yeah apparently Hades , probably the most wholesome god of them named him spot. And that’s why hades is my favorite
Nice video! You always refresh old memories of these myths and remind me of their multiple versions. I liked the section on their rationalisation.
