The goddess of wisdom is wonderful and her myths are incredible, Athena is a charming and powerful goddess ๐ฌ๐ท
Another version of the Arachne story is that she offended the gods so, Athena turned her into a spider, so that she will weave beautiful spider webs that will be wiped away by people. Meaning they won't matter. And Arachnophobia is a fear of spiders.
Never knew the full story of Medusa. Thanks for sharing this.
For the Medusa stories, I read from a comment from a video that as Athena is full of Wisdom she makes crazy plans,actions,etc that SEEMS CRAZY OR UNFAIR in our perspective and understanding ,but to Athena the goddess of wisdom, her Perspective it was a wise decision. Like how we donโt understand things til much later. Hope it sums it up and maybe see some opinions etc. (It was a while ago so itโs not as vivid as. I remember)
"Goddess of wisdom, Master Of War, my life has one mission, create the greatest Warriors" ๐ต ๐ถ
So basically fate can be averted. Normally when you hear a prophecy it comes true by you trying to prevent it, yet the opposite happened when Zues tried to stop it. Though I am surprised Athena never tried to free her mother.
0:00 The story of birth to Athena from very beginning. Athena finally grow up without her mother. 3:58 Poseidon and Athena to claim City of Attica will be renamed. Their vote of Council of Gods of Olympus Athena win and all citizen of Attica to be known as City of Athens. 8:42 Athena meet Arachne. 13:17 Hephaestus and Athena had a son's name Erichthonius with strange the tale of a serpent. Athena raised him in the Temple and finally grow up in Temple of Athens. 16:31 Athena meet Medusa. Now that was impressive from very beginning story of Athena The Strange Myths of the Goddess of Wisdom in Greek Mythology history.
1:42 I like how you made the boy look like Kratos.
This is the first time I've heard such a story. I didn't know the whole story of Medusa. Thanks for telling us about this.
I heavily dislike how much the Ovid version of the stories are the most repeated nowadays. Especially considering they don't even make sense most of the times.
Athina is my favorite goddess...!!! Her gift ๐ as beauty and wisdom is still noticeable today in Greek women...!!!
When Medusa cried in Athena's temple for her help against Poseidon, she didn't appear but even after what he did to her, Athena didn't think it it through and blamed Medusa for everything when it wasn't her fault
Superb and Thank you ๐น๐ป๐
Thank you. This is beautiful and so well-narrated! Subscribed!
This is the first time Iโve ever heard anyone say it was Prometheus that hit his head with an ax. Every other classicist Iโve heard said it was Hephaestus.
Wow! I like this k8nd of presentation more than the live action versions.
That doggone Zeus, that boy would hit anything that weren't nailed down!
Your forget to mention one tiny little detail the SECOND SON WAS ARES . The main reason why Zeus hates him so much . The dump war god is destiny to overthrow his father and if basically does it when the Roman Empire creates Mars .
It is said that Arachne included the domination over Athena's own mother in her weaving, which really fueled the rage against Arachne...
