  8. Really appreciated this clarified timeline! What I wouldn’t give for a timeline of all Greek mythology though (except pretty sure it contradicts itself in several places, based on other research for my current novel).

  10. I really don't like the painting that shows up at 11:59. There's just something off about many aspects of it, including perspective in many cases.

    It'd be cool if they showed credits, or at least year, for the paintings and depictions shown. Many are very recent (last few centuries) for obvious reasons, but it'd be nice to easily see who created it and when.

  19. I will say, of all the ancient god groups, where nature stuff is generally related to only one God, it seems like in every other story some god or other can control storms, from poseidon, to jupiter, to apparently artemis.
