Hesiod's Theogony - The Greek God Family Tree (partially) Animated

Описание к видео Hesiod's Theogony - The Greek God Family Tree (partially) Animated

Hesiod's Theogony is a treasure trove for Greek Mythology enthusiasts. It outlines in great detail, both the origins of the forces of the universe as well as the gods that personify them. It's both a Theogony and a Cosmogony. However, reading it as a poem is a bit difficult if one lacks a diagrammatic representation of said family tree.

I have taken up the task of making just that.

This video aims to go through the poem, while slowly revealing almost the entire Greek God family tree.

I'm not perfect and unfortunately it shows in my video. But never fear!
I've included a list of the mistakes I made with timestamps:

At 25:36, I implied Cerberus had been killed as part of Heracles' 12th labour. This is untrue. he was actually captured by Heracles, then taken Eurystheus.

At 28:11, Consider Tethys to be the personification of the Mediterranean.

At 33:03, I gave Hera, Hestia and Demeter squares (implying that they are male) when in fact, they should have been circles (i.e. female).

At 40:05, I said, "this statue is wrong." The statue is actually right; I was wrong. I erroneously assumed that the sphere Atlas held was the earth when in fact it is a spherical representation of the Heavens, or sky. In the statue, Atlas is still technically holding the sky, we just have to pretend that the sky is a sphere.

If you spot any more factual errors, please let me know in the comments.
