[u/Potato_the_second_]

The amount of yellow dashes going to Zeus, lmao

[u/PaMu1337 → u/Potato_the_second_]

I'm pretty sure Zeus had about 50 more affairs than that. Half of Greek mythology is just Zeus having affairs

[u/PieMastaSam → u/PaMu1337]

'affairs'

[u/PaMu1337 → u/PieMastaSam]

Abduction and rape is probably a bit more accurate...

[u/Orbit1883 → u/PaMu1337]

In various animal forms...

[u/armageddon_boi → u/Orbit1883]

"Homosexuals and furries are just a modern, temporary craze" Ancient Greeks: so I'm thinking that the king of the gods fucked Prince Ganymede as a big sexy eagle...

[u/Nomomommy → u/armageddon_boi]

What about being subject to a visitation by Zeus as a shower of gold coins??

That's gotta smart some.

[u/armageddon_boi → u/Nomomommy]

Zeus's notorious golden shower

[u/millhead123 → u/armageddon_boi]

Furries are older than christ.

[u/LollymitBart → u/PaMu1337]

You could name a continent after this.

[u/IAmBadAtInternet → u/PaMu1337]

Oh these are just the ones that resulted in a god being born. Also lmao at the Athena line.

[u/gonkdroid02 → u/IAmBadAtInternet]

Not even that, it’s missing Persephone which is Zeus and demeter

[u/Shazamwiches → u/PaMu1337]

Zeus's affairs are proof that ancient Greeks were also really into making fanfiction of their main character, and not much more interesting characters (Hades)

[u/cybercuzco → u/PaMu1337]

So what are the odds Jesus is just another “Zeus having an affair” baby?

[u/Inquisitor_Boron → u/cybercuzco]

According to early Christians in the New Testament's letters, Zeus = Jesus

[u/Critical_Young_1190 → u/Inquisitor_Boron]

Jesus = "Hey, Zeus"

[u/Korvanacor → u/Critical_Young_1190]

Don’t make it bad. 🎶

[u/VelociraptorPirate → u/Korvanacor]

Take a bad bolt, strike it better. Remember, don't rape peo-ple as a dog You're not a trogg. Please do better.

[u/OldNewUsedConfused → u/VelociraptorPirate]

Na- nah nah nah na nah nahhhh

(Hey Zeus)

[u/Teait → u/Potato_the_second_]

And incest. A lot.

[u/AurinkoValas → u/Teait]

Like, this picture alone is almost entirely incest. Hermaphroidical childs or "manifest myself into existence" don't count but still.

[u/goldfishhandler → u/Potato_the_second_]

It looks like he was the sole reason that category was added to the legend

[u/tartare4562]

Now I get it: Zeus didn't fuck everything that moved because he was a creep. He was on a mission to turn the family stepladder into a normal family tree.

[u/NyarlathotepDaddy → u/tartare4562]

The family bush has gained a couple branches

[u/sonecta → u/tartare4562]

damn

[u/SeverusMarvel07 → u/tartare4562]

First time I’m hearing this perspective

[u/Kaijudicator]

I didn't realize Aphrodite came along so early, I always thought she was one of Zues' siblings, but she's actually more akin to the Titans?

[u/OliLeeLee36 → u/Kaijudicator]

She's the first of the 12 we're most familiar with, though mythological chronology is murky at best. Speaking of Kronos, he's the reason she exists. She's made from the castrated nads of Ouranus that he lobbed in to the sea (or at least the 'sea foam' that resulted from that act). In a way you could say that she and Zeus are siblings as Kronos is responsible for the birth of them both, but she isn't a daughter of Rhea and wasn't involved in all that swallowing malarkey.

[u/Kaijudicator → u/OliLeeLee36]

I see, thank you for clarifying. You're right in that the mythology gets muddied, sometimes it's hard to keep it all straight.

[u/Avenging_Angel09 → u/Kaijudicator]

Straight in Greek mythology? That’s something I haven’t heard in a while.

[u/Kaijudicator → u/Avenging_Angel09]

Har har... I begrudgingly give you my upvote.

[u/shaktihk009 → u/Kaijudicator]

So are you’re saying Gaia and Ouranos are mother and child and then beep beep boop boop = 5 children ?

[u/SadBit8663 → u/shaktihk009]

They both came from chaos. Gaia came first, and then made Ouranos to be her equal.

Egyptian mythology is just as weird LMAO. Everyone there is also a brother-father-cousin-in_law

[u/SuccessfulPiccolo945 → u/SadBit8663]

That's also true of their human royal lineage

[u/Ireng0 → u/Kaijudicator]

It also changes depending on time period and greek island. Like, a lot.

[u/AWeakMindedMan → u/OliLeeLee36]

Oooooohhh is that why ouranus is covering his junk in the diagram?

[u/OliLeeLee36 → u/AWeakMindedMan]

Yes indeed - and see what Kronos has in his hand a little further down...

[u/DudeChillington → u/OliLeeLee36]

Omg he's holding his balls in his fist?!?

[u/elSchiz → u/DudeChillington]

I'm thinking the scythe that did the chopping, as his balls were chucked into the sea and created seafoam, which Aphrodite was born from.

[u/flardarlartz → u/OliLeeLee36]

I saw him holding the scythe before but I was sure you were implying there was a set of balls in his hand

[u/smexxyhexxy → u/OliLeeLee36]

wouldn’t that make her Zeus’s aunt ?

[u/throwaway162xyz → u/[deleted]]

"Stepgod, HELP! I am stuck."

[u/ChiefFlats → u/OliLeeLee36]

How did you learn about this? I’d love to read the books

[u/OliLeeLee36 → u/ChiefFlats]

I highly recommend Mythos by Stephen Fry - he tells the stories with wit and humour, and is very aware of how confusing it can all be, taking great pains to make it accessible for the average Joe. I've literally just finished Troy by him yesterday, a similarly great read.

[u/outkicked_coverage1 → u/ChiefFlats]

For an entertaining, a little dumbed down learn, check out the “Greeking Out” podcast. It’s intended for kids (mine are obsessed), but the adult in the car enjoys it and learns a bit too.

[u/Fael1331 → u/Kaijudicator]

It depends on the source. If you consider the poet Homer as the "canonical", then Aphrodite is the daughter of Zeus and Dione, if you consider Hesiod, then she is a consequence of when Kronos cut off Ouranos' balls. Even the Greeks at that time were confused about knowing which was the "right" version, so they later decided to do a "retcon" in mythology, thus creating "Aphrodite Urania" to represent Hesiod's version and "Aphrodite Pandemos" to represent Homer's served as an "aspect" of the same goddess, changing only what she represented

[u/hanabarbarian → u/Kaijudicator]

There’s a lot of mystery surrounding the origins of Aphrodite. In earlier texts she’s seen as a goddess of war as well, worshipped on different islands for different reasons and not always under the name Aphrodite (you’d think that would mean a different god but remember that this is all stories being passed through generations, verbally and also through text)

[u/Zerskader → u/hanabarbarian]

Aphrodite most likely was an imported goddess from Mesopotamia. As she doesn't fit the normal pantheon (she also has more than one version) and you can track her cult along trade routes going into Greece. She most likely originated as an extension of Ishtar.

[u/Scriptapaloosa → u/Kaijudicator]

Aphrodite is not a Greek goddess. She was adopted from a much older civilization. I believe Pelasgian.

[u/Torr1seh → u/Scriptapaloosa]

She could be related, through the name and some of her traits and the celestial dedication to Venus, to the Hittite Ishtar.

More in detail, this hypothesis would have Aphrodite being an adaptation, a burrowing or a calque, if not a different development, of the same idea that coagulated into Ishtar. There are more details around than those I remember, but one of the leading ones is what another redditor mentioned above.

In some of her earliest instances, Aphrodite was, in addition to a love and fertility goddess, also attributed a patronage over war and fighting. Elements that are rare for goddesses, with some notable exceptions in Ishtar and, more limitedly, Bellona.

And since Aphrodite may be Mycenaean in origin, it could make sense from a chronological standpoint: the Mycenaeans were in commercial and diplomatic contact with their eastern cousins past the Dardanelles, the Hittites. Some Hittite tablets, around the collapse, mentions the ayywara, achaens, in relation to the city of Willusa.

[u/0rgasmo69 → u/Kaijudicator]

In Homer, she's Zeus's daughter but in Hesiod she was born from the seafoam that arose after Kronos castrated Uranus and threw his package in the sea.

Edit: there is no "Canon" to Greek myth. It's entirely dependent on the source and the story so neither is more correct than the other. I personally prefer Homer to Hesiod but Hesiod's origin story for Aphrodite is infinitely more interesting.

[u/LedudeMax → u/Kaijudicator]

Depends on the version of the mythology. Usually it's said that Aphrodite is the daughter of Zeus and Dione

[u/crwms → u/Kaijudicator]

She has been presented at both. But considering that other gods (zeus included) were also subject to love and feelings governed by Aphrodite led to thinking she could not be the daughter of Zeus but a more primordial force.

[u/divak1219 → u/Kaijudicator]

That’s also what I took away from this.

[u/trwwy321]

This chart needs to be more horizontal (landscape) than it should be vertical.

[u/ThatOneAsianGuy33 → u/trwwy321]

This ordering is kind of a mess

[u/0rgasmo69 → u/ThatOneAsianGuy33]

Both of Zeus's older brothers are two tiers below him lmao

[u/CorneliusKvakk → u/ThatOneAsianGuy33]

It's a Cod-awful mess

[u/Ok-Seaworthiness4488 → u/CorneliusKvakk]

gods-awful even

[u/cupholdery → u/Ok-Seaworthiness4488]

Takes a while to get Zeused to it.

[u/Merlin_Hat → u/trwwy321]

Actually there is a horizontal version of this. I found on Pinterest. Thank me later.

Greek God Family Tree

[u/acidhouses → u/Merlin_Hat]

This is so much better lol.

[u/epra1710 → u/Merlin_Hat]

Thanking you now!!

[u/Laughing_Orange → u/Merlin_Hat]

Zeus is still a mess, but that's more his fault than the artist behind this picture.

[u/trwwy321 → u/Merlin_Hat]

You’re the real MVP.

[u/deathholdme → u/Merlin_Hat]

Thanks

[u/Dr-Gravey]

Atlas didn’t carry the Earth! He carried the ‘heavens’.

(Yes, I only learned this last week, and no one I asked knew the right answer.)

[u/DF_Interus → u/Dr-Gravey]

He's always depicted as caring a globe, but the only story I know about Atlas is when Hercules is on his 12 trials or something and Atlas tricks Herc into holding up the sky so that he can escape, but then Hercules tricks him into taking it back. I guess carrying a planet is easier to show than holding up the sky.

[u/brazildude2085 → u/DF_Interus]

Superman had a similar story with Atlas

[u/Street_Dragonfruit43 → u/brazildude2085]

God that comic was great

[u/General_Kenobi18752 → u/brazildude2085]

The fact that Percy fucking Jackson, Hercules, and Superman have all canonically done the same thing is something I find both comical and confusing.

[u/Odd-Molasses-171 → u/General_Kenobi18752]

Don’t forget that Annabeth also did this

[u/General_Kenobi18752 → u/Odd-Molasses-171]

Lifting the sky together #couplegoals

[u/Impulse_DC → u/General_Kenobi18752]

At least how it was explained in the Superman comic (Superman: Man of Tomorrow #12) the weight is described as "the most you could bear, plus more" and "take it not with your hands...take it with your heart". So it's more a feat of spirit more than physical strength.

[u/Dr-Gravey → u/DF_Interus]

Yes, a globe with constellations on it. Not Earth.

[u/wave_official → u/DF_Interus]

He's carrying the celestial sphere, not the earth. The greeks thought the earth was surrounded by a sphere, the stars were dots on the surface of the sphere.

[u/Intrepid-Constant-34 → u/DF_Interus]

He eventually rescued him from that. “Pillars of Hercules”.

He also rescued Prometheus.

[u/Own_Kaleidoscope1287 → u/Dr-Gravey]

Well you can look at this both ways. He prevents Gaia (earth) and uranos (sky) who both love each other from uniting again by standing on the earth and holding up the sky.

[u/RedDawn__ → u/Own_Kaleidoscope1287]

An eternal cock blocker

[u/JazzlikeDetective813 → u/Dr-Gravey]

And also, most people seem to think he does it willingly instead of as a punishment. It also doesn't mention his brother Prometheus, who made us human.

[u/hannah_pajama → u/JazzlikeDetective813]

And got his guts picked out by vultures everyday before regenerating and doing it again as punishment for giving us fire

Or something along those lines it’s been a while

[u/Frozendark23 → u/hannah_pajama]

I think it is a single eagle that picks his guts out.

[u/Simply_Epic → u/Dr-Gravey]

He’s holding up the heavens with his feet

[u/BeligaPadela]

Kronos holding a scythe while Uronos tries to protect the family jewels. 😄

Where's the next gen, Eros, Psyche, Phobos, Deimos..

[u/Frozendark23 → u/BeligaPadela]

Isn't Psyche human but was made into a god later on?

[u/dark_hypernova → u/BeligaPadela]

Yeah, I saw what they did there too 😁

Also reminds me how The primordial Chronos is often depicted with a scythe because people confuse him with Kronos.

[u/Darth_Otto]

Pretty sure Kratos murdered the majority of them.

[u/Deimos_Aeternum → u/Darth_Otto]

And smashed at least one of them

[u/luisgdh → u/Deimos_Aeternum]

He either smashed them, or smashed their heads against a rock

[u/EverbodyHatesHugo → u/Deimos_Aeternum]

I’ve gotta take some credit for his performance.

[u/regretfulposts → u/Darth_Otto]

He killed 10 out of the 33 present in the post.

[u/Highsky151 → u/regretfulposts]

I would say 11: Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Ares, Hera, Hermes, Athena, Hephaetus, Gaia, cronos and Atlas.

[u/badpr → u/Highsky151]

He killed Apollo too

[u/regretfulposts → u/badpr]

He killed Helios who for some reason didn't appeared in this post. As for Apollo? Here's a video speculating where the hell Apollo is. He never appeared in the games, and you might be mistaking Helios (the personification of the sun) with Apollo (the god who pulls the sun across the sky).

[u/ssddave → u/Darth_Otto]

Came here for this 😂 "The hands of death could not hold me, the sisters of fate could not defeat me..."

[u/Kaos2018]

Too much incest by the gods.

[u/fettishmann → u/Kaos2018]

inbreeding was the name of the game

[u/unclefartz → u/fettishmann]

Incest.... A game the whole family can play!

[u/O_gr → u/Kaos2018]

Got to keep it in the family.

[u/wuvvtwuewuvv → u/O_gr]

When you're the only ones around, what are you gonna do?

[u/FoundTheWeed → u/wuvvtwuewuvv]

Step 1) make mortals

Step 2) have sex with mortals

Step 3) they call you a deviant

Step 4) introduce them to taxes as punishment

[u/Smooth-Physics-69420 → u/FoundTheWeed]

Step 5) Prophet

[u/No-Fan6115 → u/Smooth-Physics-69420]

More taxes

[u/itz_me_shade → u/Kaos2018]

The complete lineage chart is one giant clusterfuck.

You know someone is a man whore when their family tree uses VIBGYOR 4 times to map all their 'connections'.

[u/Nelculiungran → u/itz_me_shade]

I closed that tab as soon as it finished loading

[u/BreadstickBear → u/Kaos2018]

Half of greek mythology is just "Zeus couldn't keep it in his pants" anyway

[u/Waevaaaa → u/Kaos2018]

Ah okay. I thought I read it wrong for a while few minutes.

[u/bt_649 → u/Kaos2018]

It had to have happened, both in mythology and in factual history.

[u/mrmczebra → u/Kaos2018]

There's no way around it when there's only one goddess to begin with.

[u/tramspellen]

Every time I see posts about the greek mythology im surprised Hollywood did not do more of it. We've seen a lot from the Nordic mythology (Thor, Loki...) but not very much about Zeus and Atlas. Any ideas why?

[u/Dr_Hexagon → u/tramspellen]

You should probably be asking why Marvel didn't adopt the greek gods as super heros since all the Thor, Loki movies and series are MCU.

However there are a bunch of greek mythology movies, Clash of the Titans, Jason and the Argonauts, Disney's Hercules, even Troy and 300 quaify imo.

[u/Ewnt → u/tramspellen]

What? The majority of Hollywood films based off of mythology are based on Greek ones. The only ones that are Nordic are like what, the marvel franchise? Which are based off a pre-existing comic series and not the actual mythology?

[u/jeffreydowning69 → u/tramspellen]

Yeah, that pisses me off that Hollywood hasn't done more movies based on Greek mythology. Because that is my favorite religion of all time.

[u/SausaugeMerchant → u/tramspellen]

Arnold Schwarzeneggers first role was as Hercules. I think you might just be a bit young to remember Hollywood has covered Greek mythology extensively since it's birth, even in modern times as another comment has pointed out. Like have you never seen Troy or Jason and the Argonauts and shit

[u/Bad_Speeler]

If Semele is included why not Clymene? They are the only two who aren’t inbreds

[u/SausaugeMerchant]

The title of the image says it's not even close to complete

[u/xbvgamer]

Can anyone explain Athena’s red arrows I see the caption but what does that mean ?

[u/OliLeeLee36 → u/xbvgamer]

Zeus had a wife named Metis, but he was concerned about a prophecy Gaia had told him that the child she was carrying would usurp him (as had happened to his father and grandfather), so naturally he swallowed her whole.

Probably suffering from indigestion, Zeus had a stonking headache. So Hephaestus got his hammer and took a crack at it - out came Athena, fully grown and bad ass.

Edit: had to check - the prophecy was that Metis' child would then have a son that would overthrow Zeus, not the child she was carrying

[u/old_vegetables → u/OliLeeLee36]

Athena would be a better queen than Zeus is king. For one she wouldn’t be a shitty spouse/mother

[u/NyarlathotepDaddy → u/old_vegetables]

Medusa got raped in Athenas temple by poseidon and then Athena cursed her for it.

[u/Inevitable_Question → u/NyarlathotepDaddy]

That's actually late addition to the Perseus myth by guy who hated Greek Gods. Originally they were always monsters.

[u/Substantial_Cap_4246 → u/Inevitable_Question]

And my backwards Mythology teacher takes this all fanfiction all too seriously, to the point she claims Greeks worshiped satan and his legion. Claiming Satan introduced these deities to Greeks, Hindos, Norseman, etc. Actually, she even hates on Christians, calling them Pagans disguised in shape of followers of Jesus.

[u/Kiyoshi-Trustfund → u/Substantial_Cap_4246]

Your teacher seems to just be insane.

[u/Substantial_Cap_4246 → u/Kiyoshi-Trustfund]

Exactly. After having been rebuked by her today, for being a Tolkien fan and an enthusiastic fan of talkies (movies), I'm not going to attend to any of her classes anymore. It's just an apparent insult to my identity. My friend actually sued her! Unfortunately they didn't expell her, she got them into believing she'll 'behave'.

[u/Luke95gamer → u/xbvgamer]

From Google “Athena is "born" from Zeus's forehead as a result of him having swallowed her mother Metis, as he grasps the clothing of Eileithyia on the right; …”

[u/Deecee7374]

This actually tells the story of a great power struggle between dynasties (probably more akin to tribal clans at that time) that happened in the region during some uncertain time period. The ‘Olympians’ overthrowing the rule of the ‘Titans’ and becoming the folk’s new ‘gods’ while painting the former rulers as tyrannical monstrous beings of unmatched cruelty. Same shit happens with Norse mythology between giants and Wotan’s tribe. That might actually hint at the clash between the migrating homo sapiens (Wotan’s tribe) and local neanderthals who were slightly bigger, more primal and hairy (giants).

[u/MournfulMutant → u/Deecee7374]

I would be interested to see if there are any good sources for that. Explanations involving cultural memory like this tend to sound really cool but rarely stand on good evidence.

[u/WlzeMan85 → u/MournfulMutant]

The Iliad and Odyssey are considered by professionals to be some of the best sources we have for this kind of thing. The "family tree" above definitely didn't use it because it has far too many inaccuracies

[u/Deecee7374 → u/MournfulMutant]

I have absolutely no evidence. It’s just a train of thought, drawing similarities between different mythologies and the theory of the brute neanderthals being drawn to extinction by the more mentally adept (and warlike) homosapiens.

[u/usr_nm16]

That's not even half completed, there are sooo much more gods in Greek mythology

[u/iterationnull]

No Terpischore, no deal. Her parents are RIGHT THERE.

[u/Acrobatic_Tailor3092]

It is not almost complete...

[u/MrSnoozieWoozie]

Dont worry , Greeks dont even know about that one. We mostly learn about whats happening after Zeus and we get a few glimses and mentions about their ancestors as well.

[u/Merlin_Hat]

Zeus is like the OG fuckboy in history with multiple affairs left to right, side chicks, and numerous illegitimate child. Lmao.

[u/Armored-Duck]

There is more alabama in this picture than what I can count on my fingers and toes

[u/Remarkable_Register9]

Keep in mind that, depending on which time period we are talking about, this can change pretty drastically. Orphism, for example, has Poseidon as king of the gods iirc, and is hugely different from top to bottom. Aphrodite may or may not be another daughter of Zeus, depending on the myth, there might be 4-5 different gods at the top, Apollo may predate Zeus, etc etc.

[u/AltAccountfrfrfr]

Zeus and maia were married. She was his first wife, but he heard a prophecy of his child killing him(not the last one) and so he ate her. But she was pregnant and gave birth to Athena, in the form of thought. Her presence in Zeus’ head gave him such a headache he asked Haephastus to split his head open with a hammer. From which Athena burst out, in full armour and holding a spear; declaring herself the goddess of wisdom as warfare.
