Just finished Circe by Madeline Miller, so it's fascinating to hear different versions of Scylla's origins
I finished circie just yesterday.
Reading this now. Absolutely mind blowing work
What was the origin in that book?
@@C1ouDN1n3 Circe cast a spell on Sylla to reveal her true self in jealousy
Miller is one of my favourite authors! Her Song of Achilles is beautiful
"If you find yourself in a love triangle between two gods - you're in trouble...."
Unless you are Cyrene.
Leliel nahhh, remember medusa
Best case scenario you turn into a flower.
What about Adonis?
@@lincolngravemann682 He got lucky both aphrodite and persephone loved him enough to share him
As a native Greek, I greatly appreciate not only the meticulous research you do for each video, but also your attention to correctly pronounce the (difficult for foreigners) Greek names. This is something that has impressed me in all your videos about Greek mythology. Your pronunciation BTW is spot on- one would think that you can actually speak Greek! Thank you for giving people a chance to learn about Greek mythology, while being respectful at the source material at the same time.
Man, that sudden tone shift at the begining. First it's dreary and scary then 'happy music! here's a game'
Haha kinda threw me off alittle I listen to this guy at work and that was slightly unexpected
We also use "Skylla" (Σκύλα) , for any woman that drives males crazy with her attitude. (love from Greece keep up the great work)
@Alexandros Vacharidis In Jewish they call women like that Yentas
Crazy in a positive or negative way? Or both actually?
@@projectfear22 negative :P
@@Vacharidis in English we call them bitch
@@chancycat9822 The language is Yiddish and a Yenta is just a woman who talks a lot
I am sorry,but your voice is SOOOO relaxing...I fell asleep while listening to it
I know his voice is very relaxing
It's also kind of sexy ;)
@@idraote 😂😂😂🤔🤣😲
Same.. his voice is soothing
Why would you say sorry when you enjoy his voice? But i do agree, very relaxing.
Her story is just like Medusa. Beauty was a curse.
Mich Sal copy and pasted like medusa
Feel kinda bad for them
@@thomasstites5781 you dont have to , theres no facts or evidence proves these myth and stories are real ....just like the comics they have multiple versions of these stories ....higher chance started as a bullshit
Mich Sal I think I wanna be ugly forever now🤦🏽♀️
It can be in real life too, it's not uncommon for physically beautiful people to be tormented by the jealousy of others as well as being sexually harassed by unwanted suitors.
Scylla is one of my fave Greek characters, her backstory is also very interesting.
If being attractive leads to becoming a monster, then I have nothing to worry about
me too bro, me too bro
So you're either a monster or a monster 🤔
oooh, self burn, those are rare
She doesn't sink ships on purpose, she's just trying to eat the crew
Smite
Smite reference 😂💕
U know the phrase "a rock and a hard place that was me 💕 "
Anna Gasai And THAT is on *plastic bag* sksk
Smite
Queen of Pentakills
Kinsais you rock
Cancel that
Ayyy ver
Kinsais you smite HAHAHAH
Kinsais VER VVX
The deadly rocks and the whirlpool which inspired the Greek legends of Scylla and Charbydis are actually located in the Calabria region of southern Italy -Scylla is a town on the northern tip of the Straits of Messina -Greek sailors and travellers would have encountered these places on their voyages.Most of the coasts of south Italy and Sicily were colonised by Greeks and the most notable was Naples whose Greek original name is Neapolis -the New City which is not far away.
Im guessing the place is name after the monster and not the other way around
I remember watching the Odyssey mini series that came out in the 90s as a kid. Even tho the series is kind of campy, one of the scariest parts of the show is when Odysseus and him men come in contact with these horrible monsters! I own the miniseries now and listening to you describe it made me want to watch it again! Can't get enough of this channel. Thanks
Been fascinated by Greek myths for years but I could never find a good channel. But I came across yours today and I love it. The way you tell the myths, the drawings and ancient artworks you put in the background are matched by none. You my sir have earns a subscriber.
Underrated channel
Go Go Zeppilli!!
I would argue overrated
Yes.
Jason: *crashes ship into rock, killing most of crew*
Embarrassed Jason: Bloody giant sea monster with dogs head in her belly and a bunch of snake heads, a fish tail, tentacles and boobs attacked us, obviously.
*Illusion 100*
haha so true. its just... how do you make up "shark dog"? its the dogs coming out of her waist that gets me, you dont just make something like that that up, its too good.
@Rico Calaguas no he's dead
Obviously that's the only explanation for what happened
Rico Calaguas
the argonaut... why would we he be talking about rick riordans character 💀
@Rico Calaguas Jesus even I know he's talking about the first Jason 😂 when did Jason grace ever went to the sea of monsters 😂
I'm 5 years late to this; however, I'm here because of Jorge's EPIC soundtrack. Trying to get a better understanding of who she is. Thank you for the video.
Same
I never heard the story of Scylla . This was actually rather interesting. It seems there are so many back stories to a lot of the mythological beings that start with mortality and beauty.
One depiction was she did have six heads and arms that were tentacles ending in hands.
Hideous monster
Scylla: Hey i have feelings too :(
@Cactus Jack Did anyone ask for your FUCKING opinion?
I would catch her like a Pokemon and keep her. :v
@@VendreadMike95 like in your computer storage box?
@@VendreadMike95 you aight mate? think that one would need a master ball
I m greek..you are really accurate..spot on..to the point when you said between Scylla and Charybdis ..we use it a lot
Watching this because ENHYPEN's Dimension:Dillemma has a version name Scylla
Same :D
The reason why I am here too bestie hahahaha
@@zeaerikaestolas5785 yasss,, same HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
im here because enhypen's new album named scylla and i want to know bout the story of scylla, this is so amazingggg
I remember this monster from 9th grade when my class watched Homers Odyseey movie. Been to Sicily and the place they call "Scylla's rock" and it is HUGE. Also, in Warriors Orochi 3 by Koei, they used Scylla as basis for their Hydra.
It'd hard not to feel sorry for the "monsters" by the end of their storoes.
Yes
Hope you guys & gals enjoyed the video!

Charybdis is a giant toilet if you really think about it.
I Don't think you want to poop directly above her though
@@DatcleanMochaJo the teeth would end you
@@ashra8281
Oof no pls
Isn't Charybdis a big ass worm that creates a whirl pool? I guess its a worm toilet lol
Thanks, I hate it
I would like to meet Homer and Sokrates and discuss mythology and philosophy.
Assassins creed odyssey made me get so frustrated with Socrates (sorry if I spelt that wrong)
SidTheGamer0
I would instead rather give the gods internet connection... but have 4chan as the main page it opens up to.
who wouldn't??
I purchased your novel and it was shipped to me yesterday so there's a big chance that I'll get it before my birthday and I am so excited. I'm a very big fan of your work! Please keep up the amazing job.
What's the name of the novel?
Someone should make a song about this…
That deep voice reading (maybe) that last entry of a sailor diary had me go all fascinated and excited. We need more of that persona reading.
rewatching this after 2 years for enhypen's comeback!
OMG I DIDNT KNOW A FELLOW ENGENE WOULD COMMENT HERE LMAO, im trying to get some theories here😂
Mee too
Oh my god me tooo
me toooo
Fantastic vid as always, your just getting better & better every day 👍😎
seriously can you do a series of the seven deadly sins?
it would be epic
There Is Nothing To Really DO For The Seven Deadly Sins. The Sins Were Not Introduced Until MUCH Later,When The Bible Was Being Edited And Reworked And Only Came Into Play As A Way To Classify Things That Would Damn You To Hell/Was Just Another Tool Used To Control The Masses.
@@JT5555 they existed before the bible, they're a greek concept
@@ashra8281 You Sure? I Don't Remember Ever Reading Or Hearing Anything About The Greeks And The Concept,And I'm Pretty On Top Of This Kind Of Thing (As Both A Lover Of Mythology And Sin).
@@JT5555 yeah, they are in most cultures at least at some point, they didn't have the 7 deadly sins you're probably thinking off but something very close. Envy, Pride, Wrath, Gluttony, Avarice, prostitution and dejection
@@ashra8281 Huh. Ya Learn Something New Everyday.XD
Here before Thunder Saga is released on July 4th, 2024
My first inroduction with Scylla was in a NES game called Kick Master, at that time I couldn't understand her form. Then, years after I encountered her in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night... That was an epic moment (at least for me). Excellent video!
The version of Scylla I am familiar with had six tentacles, each with a hand on it. Ulysses chose to go closer to Scylla because he'd lose just 6 men, instead of the whole boat to Charybdis. Don't remember what version of the Odyssey mine was
Another hot babe turned into monstrosity. Monsters aren't borne they 're made...
Scylla and Charybdis are in one story from anthology "Kaiju Rising"
Daimon X because of her vanity
@@Deathmournex I disagree on her vanity as much as a witches jealousy of her beauty
Thomas Stites and she either killed her or turned into what she really (depending what you read) is inside out because deep within scylla she maybe pretty but on the inside shes a pretty ugly monster with vanity and circe teaches her a permanent lesson
@@Deathmournex all circe does is curse out of her own selfish gains though she seems like a bitter witch who finds enjoyment of teaching a lesson (in her eyes) that's not hers to give so in my opinion Scylla really didnt do anything wrong and was cursed for a reason unknown to her
Speaking of kaiju, Scylla is also a Titan in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and there is a kaiju named after her in the Ultraman series.
okay i'm just curious bcz the comeback concept of Enhypen. But I think this is another science and history I should know.
What I heard about Scylla and Caribous was that Scylla scorned Poseidon and Caribous went all "Swim Fan" on him. Scylla left the water to a cliff and Poseidon cursed her. Caribous tried to win his affection by claiming more land for the sea and either Zeus or Poseidon cursed her to swallow and vomit the tide for the rest of time. They were placed together because one loved Poseidon too much and the other not enough.
I just love your channel. Being able to listen and learn about the Myths i love is a true blessing. Thank you very much
i came here because of Enhypen’s concept don't mind me
I'm here because of Enhypen I also wanna know this theory/story(?) , so don't mind me
This is amazing if u remember certain lines from circes song there are other ways about her being in love once
*Do the Kraken next*
The kraken is a legendary cephalopod-like sea monster of giant size that is said to dwell off the coasts of Norway and Greenland. Is not from Greek mythology.
@@juanfelixsoto so? He does other mythologies
I know. But most people think that the Kraken is from the Greeks. I'm sure he can talk about it. I also want to know more about Norway myths...
@@juanfelixsoto that always confused me, so what is the 'Kraken' in Clash of the Titans, the old awesome one, where it has 3 arms
If I remember correctly the monster was called Cetus. I don't know why they call it "Kraken." Is not the first time people mix mythologies.
When you are not into mythology but enhypen brings you here HAHAHAH
I didn't know her backstory so this was very enlightening. Thank you.
this is enhypen's comeback concept
Ikr thats y i came😆
I LOVE the background music. I dont know why, but it conveys great ancient power to me
Is it weird that I feel sorry for Scylla?
No, it's the right thing to do and it's completely normal
nop, she didnt really deserve it (who does in Greek myth). She was shallow as hell but still, and those sailors, theyre just snacks to her
@@flightlesslord2688 How was she shallow?
I felt really bad for scylla 😭😭
No
“Between the devil and the deep blue sea” is another saying
8:07 Maybe Scylla is associated with Hecate due to the Hecate being so closely associated with dogs and crossroads?
Personally I've always been terrified by the Odessy 1997 tv movie version...with worm colored coils and long Flytrap fangs.
Lowell Lucas Jr. wait... did it include the dog dying?
Love your voice and narrative ! Great Job :)
Your voice is soo soothing.
"Between a Rock and a hard place"
You have a new subscriber my friend came across your channel a few days ago and love how you begin with a story aspect than begin the history. Awesome job man.
Not me watching this because of enhypens comeback
Hercules vs Scylla I'd pay to see a fight like that
heracles
@@doctorbmc4330 same thing but heracles means "glory of hera" and is the Greek version we all know our stuff
Nah Kratos vs Scylla that would be best
Reptile 25991 play smite
@@Reptile-ie2zg Wait... it does?... WHY? Irony? Just to make his life shit even more?
Enhypen really got me researching
Love this channel. Can u maybe do Woton. A god i find really hard to understand
Who's here because of Enhypen's comeback
meee
Huh
Bruh I am here because of ghost of Sparta
@@christineaikhuele184 some k-pop bullshit, Don't worry about it.
Aww poor Scylla
Atleast she gets a spotlight with Godzilla tho
Uh about that
Scylla, terrifying... yet fascinating. I'm actually using a form of her in a novel series I'm working on. But, what about Charybdis? did you do a video on her?
I liked how many varied forms this monster has
i like the idea, that her beauty and origin symbolises the gain and prospect of getting to your destination quicker, so you sail through the straight and then when you get closer you see her for the monster she is, the current takes you if you go far one way or the cliffs the other and then at some point when everyone knows the dangers she stops looking beautiful at all.
here because of Enhypen ❤️
Hydra: Am I a joke to you?
Yes!
Love from Greece brother
Waiting for this one for a while. Also my favorite smite god to play as. Thank you for all your hard work and the great video!
THE UK
Smite Is The Reason I Came Here.XD
can you do khepri, Egyptian god of creation, movement of the sun, and rebirths next?
Scylla is actually super fucking scary and powerful. She's definitely not the one to mess with. Also I love your videos.
funny, about 10% of this comment section wants to bang her
Poseidon: Hades you're always going ON and on about Cerberus. I want to show you something.
*Scylla enters*
Poseidon (smiles): Hades meet MY pet, Scylla.
Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into uploading these little gems.
Some times it is nessesary to sacrifice something for safe passage
There is also the version in which she is a daughter of Styx and Pallas, you kept out the coolest parents. I like to think of her as a beautiful Goddess whose danger is in line with her relatives, all of whom are at the highest tier in term of power and authority, perhaps doted upon by Styx so much that no God would dare anger her mother by risking a hero offending her in any way as they trespass in her domain.
Your voice is so soothing and beautiful. I listen to it nightly and have shared your channel with others.
I love your channel it's Amazing, I love stories myths and legends are the best. Thank you for uploading :)
That's fact you're putting out and i like that. This is definetly a reliable source for information about these beings of myth and lore.
ENHYPEN brought me here.
Could you imagine if these beings were a reality censored over the ages. I can imagine alot of beings from mythology were forgotten so if these more infamous beings found something they believe to be like them I wonder how they would go about contacting these forgotten beings.
Keep everything up man,ur titles,the artwork and the knowledge ur sharing is extremely helpful!!
One of my favorite representations of Scylla is from this made for TV movie Iliad in the 2000s where Ulysses’s ship is in a cave, it’s dark but the torch light, and you just see sailors disappear into the darkness above snatched by a many headed beast with teeth filled maw with the sailor’s screams fading into the chasm above
Scilla is the name of a city in Calabria (region of South Italy), where I live. It is absolutely stunning, check it out when you'll choose your next trip♥️
Anyone comeing here to know tye story becoz of enhypen album😆
Does anyone know what poem he’s referencing in the beginning of the video? “Once you reach her rock you will know true terror, for you are in Scylla’s domain.” So good! I love this channel!
Scilla is now a very beautiful town
"She was once described as a beautiful nymph trans-mutated into a horrible monster..."
Sounds like modern day politics to me...
Or hentai.
Lol legendary
here because of enhypen 😭😭😭
Smite Scylla main's would enjoy this clip
I can confirm that.
Mhm indeed
i 2nd this statement
Indeed
Love the storytime opening
Odesious was a badass he just swam away grom Scylla. Well... After his Ship and crew were eaten by Scylla.
Thank you for making this video! I've waited a long time for it and it was completely worth it!
I'm here because of enhypen theories
Imagine being confronted by her, you're just sailing along on your happily little way and then from the depths you hear. . . "I'm a monster-!" the pentaqueen spares none. . .
Grew up reading the Greeks myths- so glad I found this channel
I’m here because of Enhypen
Another one I pity. If only one could write a revision that gives her a more happy ending. Could she be protecting something? She never leaves those cliffs, so she could be protecting whatever is there or protecting others from something much worse by assuming the role of a monster that everyone fears. My attempt at making her more likable. Beautiful goddess, crab, snake with dog heads that pop up out of nowhere, would make for a great character design.
In The Game Smite,Her Story Is Basically That She Was Just BORN A Horrible Monster And She Takes Great Pride In It. She's Also A Little Girl And It's Adorable.
@@JT5555 I don't exactly like that incarnation. Personal tastes I guess.
@@andresmarrero8666 loli scylla= best scylla
Enhypen let me study this
The retelling where she's resurrected isn't exactly happy. She's back to being chased by a guy who wouldn't take no for an answer and who has way more power than she does.
You're here because of enhypen
🤣
Same
