Classical Greek and Roman writers always did the deity name swap thing, it's frustrating. I think it's evidence that they believed their gods objectively existed and were relevant everywhere, and saw the different names as different languages words for the same entity. They also valued their own culture above everyone else's. That was pretty standard at the time, Egyptians definitely felt that way but they were fine with combining multiple gods into one hybrid god like Amun-Ra and Isis-Hathor so the Greeks and Romans added theirs to make Zeus Ammon/Jupiter Ammon. they figured they could hybridize their gods with the Jewish god, how did that go? BAD
There’s also a Lithuanian paganism myth that sounds exactly the same as well. The god of Thunder had his wife kidnapped by the god of the dead
When Buddhism was introduced in Japan, Buddhism and Shintoism start to merge with one another. They thought that Vairocana Buddha, The Light/Illumination Buddha was a Buddhist counterpart of Amaterasu, The Sun Goddess.
Jake finding a segway for your vpn is simple! its called atlas, and atlas is the titan that held up the sky in greek mythology. holding up the sky is obviously a struggle but you wont struggle to find your favourite shows and movies with atlas vpn!
I just made this connection between these to myths you know hades and thantos well here are 2 more gods of death anubis and osiris
In my old class I learned the collected unconscience it where people who have never met before shares similar story like the werewolf and the wendigo.
I love when you always cited the sources.
People tend to forget that most ancient myths didn't come in ready-made, neatly anthologized paclages.
I love your illustration of the “normal lady” disguise😂
Actually, the myth for persepone comes from the story of dumuzi and innana, where they explain the changing of seasons.
The myth originated in the levant, so the greeks stole from the middle east 😅
Innana is going to the underworld story, read it.
What about the similarities between Orpheus, Izanagi and another deity from Latin America I currently don't remember ? (The fact that all of them need to get to the underworld to save a person they love but they lose them because they turn around to look at them while coming back)
Did anyone see the cat?
No one:
Rick Riordan fans:
Magic nanny= Tia cieda
I'm Egyptian 🇪🇬

“Hey Georgie”
usually data leaks are done in a csv, use a comma in your pw and it'll break your line of text and protect your info. fun fact.
Trick question.
That atlas von jw ke was fire
OMG, young people are SO annoying! He's smart, but why does he talk like that? So fast and whiny and high-pitched and sarcastic… Eww!
What about triptolepmus? You havrnt talked about him in your hades and persephone video…
Comparative mythology is fascinating. I wrote a paper comparing some North American indigenous religions to Norse mythology, there were striking similarities which I found fascinating. I found also that the indigenous stories were skewed due to being written down by Christians, so maybe there were similarities because that's how the Christian scholars interpreted the stories.
One of the most interesting themes I've found regarding religion is that before a culture develops agriculture, they generally worship nature so mother figures, animals, etc are the central themes. After agriculture most civilizations have a father figure "sky god" as the central figure. Not all the time but more often than not, although I haven't studied ancient South Asian myths as closely as myths in Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
This is called "memetic mutation", or if you like me prefer the old guy Charles Sanders Peirce before Richard Dawkins, it is a "semiotic mutation". "Semiotic" sounds better to me, "memetic" sounds like "your hemorrhoids," or something.
There is more to that story. At least the beginning the Persephone abduction is close to the abduction of Erishkigal by Nergal. Do you have the Demeter source? Lastly it also reminds me of two things. How Achilles became invincible and do think this is the practice found abominable in the old testament making children pass through fire?
You have a really cute cat
Its Egyptian.. Egypt came first!!!
I’m a Number One fan again it’s been long time
3:58 "that cool but physically impossible slide" TO YOU. I can do it flawlessly.
What about Hades/Serapis?
Everyone else in comments: oh so great to hear about these myths
Me: Omg, kitty sleeping in background! Must watch cat instead!
Zeus might had less children if he had that protection 😂😂
I love ur vidz
Thanks for the video! I knew Isis became popular among the Greeks, didn’t know she merged with Demeter. And that magical nanny story… wasn’t there a similar story about Moses? Wasn’t Moses sent down a river in Egypt when he was a baby where he was found by an Egyptian princess who adopted him and hired his real mother to be his nanny? Or something like that. I only vaguely recall a couple tales from Moses youth, did any of them include the themes that linked Isis and Demeter ? It would be interesting to know if a third story line also shared this same plot
Da cat
Greek was known to steal other people's mythologys (or religions if you want to get technical) to use for themselves.
I wonder who the god of the week would be this week if they were still going.
If ur into both greek and Egyptian mythology
Me: I present,
☠️AEDES 🇪🇬AEGYPTIS
aka. Hades egypt
why didn't you link it to the titan atlas about something like he was making a vpn while demeter was dealing with her child after seeing how hades was able to find and capture her and to prevent this happening again he made the vpn to protect the gods messages and info online to prevent tracking
Atlast vpn IS A TROJAN
I love how you wrote gross on the cat in the background and that those who red this comment will have to search for it and find out why.
Enjoy 😇😈
So it’s like a divine version of mrs. Doubtfire?

I see you're a man of culture
Hi Georgie
Was the Greek myth just to explain why there’s seasons, and not death?
