Insanely interesting Greek Myths you didn’t know about

Описание: Greek mythology is insanely interesting. From the origins involving Gaia & Uranus, and their progeny the Titans to the twelve Olympian Gods, its full of stories that take your breath away.

But, dare look beyond the most popular stories (Zeus’s infinite stories of infidelity, The Trojan War, The labors of Hercules and Theseus, Perseus and his adventures, Odyssey etc) and you will find some of the most interesting stories, even more so than the popular ones.

We lay down some such stories in this video.

We’ll talk about a king who was cursed with hunger so strong that he ended up eating himself, a normal greek man who lived his life both as a man and a woman but ended up being the most feared prophet in the history of Greek Mythology, a sculptor who fell in love with his own creation, a heroine who did everything right yet lost, a hero whose life was literally tied to a log and the first mortal to receive the eternal punishment.
