The FORBIDDEN Books Removed from Religion
Today we’re going to discuss the forbidden books removed from religion: ancient texts filled with fallen angels, demons, giants, hidden cosmologies, secret revelations, and visions so strange and controversial that many were ultimately excluded from official scripture.
Topics Covered In This Video:
The forbidden books left out of the Bible
The Book of Enoch and the story of the Watchers
How an ANGEL Became the DEVIL (Not in the Bible) - Mythology Explained
Most people today believe that Lucifer’s fall is a straightforward story: a powerful angel grows proud, rebels against God, and becomes the Devil. It’s one of the most famous “origin stories” in the world… except there’s a problem. That story — at least in the form we know it — doesn’t actually exist in the Bible. The idea of Lucifer as a fallen angel is something that developed over centuries, sh
Did 9 Foot Giants Walk the Earth? The MYTH of the Kandahar Giant
Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. I heard this folktale..conspiracy…myth..Whatever you want to call it mentioned on a couple of podcasts recently, and being fairly unfamiliar with it myself, I decided to dig a little deeper. It goes a little something like this.. According to one of the strangest military legends of the modern era, American soldiers operating near Kandahar encountered
Nyx: The Only Goddess Zeus Actually Feared
Long before the Olympians ruled from their thrones on Mount Olympus, the cosmos was shaped by older forces — vast, silent, and unknowable.
These were the Primordial Deities or Protogenoi: the first powers of existence, embodying fundamental aspects of reality itself.
And out of the first void came something deeper than shadow. A presence, not just of absence, but of power. She wasn’t the goddess
Odyssey Translator Emily Wilson SLAMS Christopher Nolan's Adaptation...
Christopher Nolan has repeatedly pointed toward one particular line from Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey as an inspiration for his film:
“Tell me about a complicated man.”
It is a line intended to introduce Odysseus as a figure with many different sides—a warrior, liar, husband, survivor, manipulator and one of the most intelligent characters in Greek mythology.
But now Emily Wilson h
Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey Is Going to Divide EVERYONE… (Full Review)
So, I went to see The Odyssey.
In spite of the countless dislikes on the movie’s trailers.
In spite of some of the questionable casting choices.
In spite of the almost complete lack of Greek representation in an adaptation of one of the most famous GREEK myths ever written.
And in spite of the MULTIPLE videos made by me criticizing decisions the filmmakers had already revealed.
But despite AL
The Mythology of Circe Explained (Witch from Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey)
I did it. I went to see The Odyssey.
I won’t spoil anything here, and I’ve got a full review on the way, but before I release that, I want to talk about Circe—the witch from The Odyssey who transforms Odysseus’s men into pigs and eventually gives him the instructions he needs to reach the entrance to the Underworld. The movie also makes some pretty significant choices about who Circe is, what she
The REAL Reason Everyone HATES Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey…
Christopher Nolan has made a movie with real ships, real oceans, one of the most expensive productions in history, and quite possibly the most recognizable cast ever assembled.
And somehow, the most interesting thing about the trailer is how many people seem to hate it.
Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. Over the last couple of months, I’ve made quite a few videos discussing Christoph
The FINAL Odyssey Trailer Just Confirmed Our Worst Fears...
Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. Over the last couple of months, I’ve made quite a few videos discussing Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey. I’ve talked about casting, the apparent lack of Greek representation in one of the most famous Greek stories ever written, Lupita Nyong’o playing Helen of Troy AND Clytemnestra, the rumours that Elliot Page might be playing Ac
Elliot Page As ACHILLES in the Odyssey?! We’ve Finally Got Answers..
A little while ago, I made a video discussing one of the strangest rumours surrounding Christopher Nolan’s upcoming Odyssey movie: the idea that Elliot Page might be playing Achilles. The reason of course that rumour generated so much discussion is pretty obvious… Achilles is arguably the most famous warrior in all of Greek mythology, the central figure of the Iliad, the son of a goddess, the gre
Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey Just Got a LOT Worse...
Today we’re going to be talking about Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey…But not in the way that I’ve already talked about it. In some of my previous videos on the topic, I covered some of the major controversies surrounding the film. In particular, the casting, where I highlighted the apparent lack of Greek presence in a film adapting one of the most important Greek stories ev
The BIGGEST Problem with Christopher Nolan's Odyssey…
Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. Today we’re going to be talking about Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey. Now, ever since the trailer first dropped, the film has been making headlines for its questionable casting decisions. And when I touched on these things in my OWN videos, one of the things that I noticed right away was the GREEK response. That is, how ACTUAL g
The 4 Demon Queens of HELL Explained
Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. In today’s video, we’re going to discuss the REAL wives of Satan: the demon queens, seductresses, and female spirits who, according to ancient Jewish mysticism and medieval demonology, stood beside the rulers of Hell itself. Because while most people have heard of Lilith, very few realize she was only ONE of several infernal feminine entities associate
The God That Came Before Creation Itself
Before there were gods, before there were Titans, before even the earth or sky — there was only silence. An endless, gaping expanse.
The Greeks called it Chaos: not disorder, but the raw void out of which reality itself would be born.
Chaos wasn’t a god in the way we imagine Zeus or Poseidon, but rather the very first principle of existence — the source from which everything else emerged: earth
The Real Hercules Hollywood Was Too Afraid to Show You
Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. In today's video we are going to discuss the darkest moment in Hercules’ life, when he murdered his own family — killing his wife and three sons. We’re going to begin with some key moments from his early life, then transition to two distinct versions of his kin-killing madness, and finally wrap up with the final tragedy of his life — one that would see
Achilles Looked NOTHING Like This - The Odyssey Casting Controversy Explained
Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained.
Ever since rumours started circulating that Elliott Page may be playing Achilles in Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey, the internet has been arguing about one question over and over again: what was Achilles ACTUALLY supposed to look like?
And unlike some of the recent discussions surrounding Helen of Troy, this one is a little more grounded in the actual s
5 Monsters So Powerful Even GODS & TITANS Feared Them (Part 2) - Greek Mythology Explained
Hey everyone, welcome back to Mythology Explained. In the last video of this style, we explored some absolute titans of terror in Greek myth: Typhon, the hundred-handed Hecatoncheires, the war-born Giants, the petrifying Medusa, and the mighty Cyclopes whose craftsmanship armed the gods themselves. Those creatures shaped the very balance of power between gods and Titans, between order and the prim
What Did Helen of Troy REALLY Look Like? - The Odyssey Explained
Since Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey trailer dropped a couple of weeks ago, the discussion around the film has only gotten louder…In a lot of different ways. This is one of the most famous stories in the ancient world being adapted by one of the biggest directors alive, so naturally, people are going to pick apart every frame, every costume, every casting choice, and every creative decision. And one
Why Doesn’t God Just DESTROY Satan?
If God is all-powerful, why does Satan still exist? If there’s one thing that’s abundantly clear from the bible, it’s that it’s entirely uncompromising about God’s authority. In Isaiah 45, during a passage declaring His rule over kings and nations, God even says:
“I am the Lord, and there is no other.”
But if no power rivals God,and no being can truly challenge His sovereignty, then I can’t help
The Primordial Goddess So Powerful Even the Gods Feared Her - Greek Mythology Explained
Out of the void came the first truly tangible being: Gaia- the Earth itself, alive and fertile, the ground beneath every myth. To the ancient Greeks, Gaia was not merely soil and stone; she was the very foundation of reality, the ever-enduring mother of gods and monsters alike. She nourished, protected, and gave life — but she also schemed, rebelled, and unleashed creatures that nearly ended Olymp
What Are the Armoured Giants in The Odyssey Trailer? - Greek Mythology Explained

Questions explored in this video:

The TERRIFYING Irish Folklore Behind HOKUM (Explained)
Hey everyone, Welcome back to Mythology Explained.
Just the other day I got a chance to see Hokum in theatres, a new horror release with some rave reviews that honestly scared the **** out of me. I went in completely blind- no trailer- having only seen scores on rotten tomatoes and imdb, and I’ve gotta say- it was pretty decent. And as far as being effective as a ‘scary’ horror movie- no complain
The 3 Daughters of Zeus So Powerful Even the Gods Feared Them
Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. In today’s video, we’re going to discuss the three daughters of Zeus whose power, influence, and terrifying potential made them some of the most formidable beings in all of Greek mythology.

The Real Jesus Looked NOTHING Like This
Most people have a very clear image in their head of what Jesus looked like.
It’s an image we’ve seen thousands of times — in churches, paintings, films, and illustrations.
But here’s the catch...
The Bible never actually describes his appearance. Which begs the question: Where did the familiar image of Jesus that’s widespread today actually come from?

Humanity Was Getting Too POWERFUL… Then This Happened
For millennia, mankind has worshipped gods — beings of power, wisdom, and immortality. We’ve prayed to them, feared them, and shaped our civilizations around their stories. But in every culture, there comes a moment when man looks up at the heavens and dares to ask: Why not me?

Greek Mythology’s Darkest Story
There are many punishments in Greek mythology…But few are as chilling — or as deserved — as the one from this particular myth.
In this tale - A king, beloved by the gods, was granted a seat at their table.
He had their trust. Their favor. Their ear.
But then… he did the unthinkable: he betrayed them.
In this story, the actions of this man were so twisted, so vile, that even the Olympians wer

Can God Be Proven? The 5 Main Arguments Explained
For as long as we’ve walked the earth, humans have looked up at the night sky and wondered:
Where did all this come from?
The stars, the earth, the strange spark of life — and our own ability to even ask the question.
Some say it’s all coincidence.
That the universe emerged by chance — no plan, no purpose.
Others argue that such order, beauty, and consciousness can’t possibly be accidental — t
The Truth About Zeus’ Power (And Why It’s Overrated)
Today, we’re talking about Zeus — the thunder-wielding ruler of Olympus and so-called king of the gods.
To most, he’s the ultimate symbol of divine power.
But the truth is, his reign was built on borrowed fire.
And I think that without it, the so-called king of the gods might’ve been nothing more than another name lost to myth.

The God Too ‘Gifted’ for Olympus – Greek Mythology Explained
Welcome to Mythology Explained. Today, we’re going to be discussing the Greek God Priapus. Before we dive into this I feel as though the elephant in the room needs to be addressed - or rather the anaconda in the room. Yes, that second one seems most appropriate. You would think that, applying your contemporary prism to the issue, that Priapus, being the well-endowed god that he was, probably did p
5 Monsters That Made Greek Gods & Titans Tremble
Hey everyone, welcome back to Mythology Explained.

The Mother ALL Gods Feared
Out of the void came the first truly tangible being: Gaia- the Earth itself, alive and fertile, the ground beneath every myth.

She nourished, protected, and gave life — but she also schemed, rebelled, and unleashed creatures that nearly ended Olymp
Chaos: The First Force of Creation MORE POWERFUL Than Zeus
Before there were gods, before there were Titans, before even the earth or sky — there was only silence. An endless, gaping expanse.

Chaos wasn’t a god in the way we imagine Zeus or Poseidon, but rather the very first principle of existence — the source from which everything else emerged: earth,
God VS Satan: Who Killed MORE People in the Bible?
When it comes to the Bible, the roles of its central figures seem obvious. God is the creator, the sustainer, the giver of life, and Satan… He’s the deceiver, the destroyer, & the murderer of mankind.
Given that Satan is called a ‘murderer from the beginning’ in John 8:44, you’d probably assume that he’s the one responsible for claiming more lives.
But what if I told you that the text itself pain
What Happens When Man Tries to Become God?
For millennia, mankind has worshipped gods — beings of power, wisdom, and immortality. We’ve prayed to them, feared them, and shaped our civilizations around their stories.
But in every culture, there comes a moment when man looks up at the heavens and dares to ask: Why not me?
So today, we’re diving into the myths and legends of different religions and cultures to confront one of humanity’s olde
Lucifer Is NOT Satan: Stop Confusing Them
Most people today believe that ‘Lucifer’ and ‘Satan’ are one and the same- with both names representing the complete and total archetype of evil. In fact, this misconception runs so deep that the names are regularly used interchangeably in books, movies, and even sermons. But what if I told you that this is actually…Wrong information? Because in truth, the Bible itself never explicitly identifies
What Heaven REALLY Looks Like in Every Religion (NOT What You Think)
Where do we go when we die?
It’s one of humanity’s oldest questions.
Across nearly every culture, every religion, and every age of human history, people have looked to the sky and wondered: What lies beyond this life? And almost universally, civilizations have imagined an idyllic realm of peace and perfection—an eternal paradise. This vision echoes through many of the world’s predominant religions
How Did the Ancient Greeks Believe Humanity Began?
Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. Today’s video is the start of a new series where I’ll be reading classic retellings of Greek myths by respected authors from over a century ago. These stories come straight from the public domain, and the goal here is to give you something you can listen to while winding down, studying, or just getting lost in the world of ancient Greece.

The DARK GODDESS Even Zeus FEARED — Mother of Death, Misery, and Fate
Long before the Olympians ruled from their thrones on Mount Olympus, the cosmos was shaped by older forces — vast, silent, and unknowable.
These were the Primordial Deities or Protogenoi: the first powers of existence, embodying fundamental aspects of reality itself.
And out of the first void came something deeper than shadow. A presence, not just of absence, but of power. She wasn’t the goddess o
Why Were Ancient Greek Statues So MUSCULAR?
We’ve all seen them. Greek Statues.
Huge slabs of muscle, perfect proportions, nearly 0 bodyfat to speak of, and a casual reminder that we’re not QUITE in the shape that we thought we were. An idealistic version of the human form — chiseled from marble, frozen in time, that still somehow judges us centuries later.
In modern bodybuilding, the physiques seen in Greek statues are often the end goa
The FORGOTTEN Ruler of the Underworld (BEFORE Hades)
When people think of the Underworld, they think of Hades — the god draped in shadow, brother to Zeus and ruler of the dead, his realm carved from silence and sealed away from Olympus.
But the truth is… he wasn’t the first.
Because long before Olympus rose… before the Titans fell… before even light existed… there was something else.
A presence.
A force.
A god.
But this ‘being’ didn’t rule with a sc
The Greek King Who COOKED His Son & Fed Him to ZEUS
There are many punishments in Greek mythology…But few are as chilling — or as deserved — as the one from this particular myth.

He had their trust. Their favor. Their ear.
But then… he did the unthinkable: he betrayed them.
In this story, the actions of this man were so twisted, so vile, that even the Olympians were hor
The Forgotten Goddess MORE POWERFUL Than Every God & Titan
When most people think of powerful Greek gods, one name tends to rise above the rest: Zeus. King of Olympus. Wielder of lightning. Slayer of Titans. The ultimate divine authority.
Or… so we’re told.
But the truth is — Zeus isn’t all that he was chalked up to be. Sure, he was powerful. Charismatic. But the most powerful god in Greek mythology?
Not even close.
He could be outwitted. He could be r
The Only Beings ALL Gods FEARED
In myth and legend, there exist forces even gods must answer to. Time. Destiny.
But above all…Fate.
A force so powerful that even God and Satan had to answer to it.
But what if I told you that it was three beings who were responsible for fate itself?
Not gods of thunder or war. Not angels or demons.
But something else...

The DARK Angels Who Defied Heaven and Corrupted Mankind
“Before the Great Flood… before the Ten Commandments… a different kind of rebellion took place. One that started not on Earth—but in the heavens.”
Long before the floodwaters rose… before Moses parted the sea… before even Abraham’s covenant with God—there was a story. A story of 200 divine beings who descended to Earth on Mount Hermon.

Why Bible Accurate DEMONS Look NOTHING Like You Think
In the last video, we discussed biblically accurate angels — and it was there that we unearthed a shocking truth: they’re not winged babies or glowing men in robes… But in fact, terrifying, often-alien looking beings that radiate divine power.
And today, we’ll be taking a look at the other side of the coin..
Because if THOSE things were the messengers of divine order…
Then what could the opposite
What Angels REALLY Look Like (According to the Bible)
What if I told you that the angels you see in paintings, Christmas cards, and stained-glass windows... Have nothing to do with how angels are actually described in the Bible?
They aren’t cute little babies with wings or gentle, glowing humans in white robes strumming harps.
In fact, that’s not even close.
Because in reality, biblical angels are terrifying.
They often appeared with multiple se
The 7 Princes of Hell: The Demons Behind the Deadly Sins

Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained.

Secrets of Iron: The Man in the Iron Mask
The year is 1703. The Day is the 19th of November. In France, a prisoner just died after 34 years behind bars. The death was kept quiet. The burial was rushed. And things continued as if nothing had happened. Usually, such an occurrence was of little consequence. After all, prisoners died all the time. One dying was about as noteworthy as losing a horse to lameness, or to birth complications that
Nemesis: Goddess of Retribution, Greek Mythology's Avenging Angel
Nemesis was the goddess of retribution. She personified the power that visited punishment on those guilty of wrongdoing. Some myths feature her as human-like, but often she was conceptualized as an omnipresent force rather than a physical entity. Her power functioned something like moral gravity, only punishing instead of pulling. When a person jumps, gravity pulls them back down to earth, and sim
