why do you have a sclera😊
Hey the art improve
Oof
What about your mom
Jake with irises isn’t real he can’t hurt you
0:21 normal eyes jump scare
the idea that a woman's beard is a monstrous feature is honestly pretty messed up
Pretty sure the new myth originated on Tumblr around ~2012. I remember a post circling around a lot during this time.
Now do one about gorgons. I hear gorgon has come to mean a very different type of creature in the middle ages.
Add timestamps to the videos 😅
I don't remember which translation or which retelling it was, but I encountered an interesting one where it was implied she turned everything around her to stone when her eyes were open, no matter if she could see it or not; When she fled into the countryside, she turned a whole town into marble statues by simply walking too close.
IIRC, this version also stated that she was born a gorgon, but only turned people into stone after being cursed…
I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS. I wrote a long paper in college about the demonesses in the Ramayana and other hindu art and how close it was to the original, Mycenean Greek art of the medusas. It bothers me a hell of a lot with the current depictions, even if I do like it.
Can you do the story of Eros and Psike
Jake is slowly transitioning into a Vtuber
It's funny how medusa went from a race of monsters to a unique creature back to a race of monsters
ima be honest
while you should keep the smaller more chibi-like characters for the stories themselves
your appearance in this specific video is too adorable not to make your default
The food you were cooking looked delicious
I'm gonna make the wildest possible guess and say that Medusa's most modern iteration comes from Tumblr.
I saw on the video where Jake was talking about mistakes that he made that the most replayed was a part where he talked about the female orc problem and drew a hot orc woman and he did the same here too get the attention which is hilarious. Everyone here down bad for a female orc
Thank you so much for doing a deep dive on Medusa, she's my favourite mythological character ever and there's just so much misinformation about her and people claiming the version of the story they are familiar with is the original or the right version.
1:18 looks like an angry bird pig
9:09 its pronounce dijke and not like the reproduction organ
I really like the new style for your avitar/character thing!
Jake yet again with those Godly Goddesses!
would love to see more examples of mythology changing with time
As a Classics undergrad, I usually can't stomach videos on ancient Greek mythology (the misinformation ruins the experience for me) 😭 but this video was fantastic! The animations are also super charming
Jake with sclera seems very weird but fairly cute actually.
Your animations have improved greatly!
( Also the fact you used new designs for the Roman Versions shows your dedication!)
What s youre opinon n PercyJackson the book not the crud movie?
I miss the old jake, not the new jake
Me wearing racons
In Sardinia there are different legends about Medusa and in those cases she is just a beautiful queen who protects her relam after her father (Phorcus) death against Atlante, and then she was killed in a battle.
Medusa (or better Mèdousa) means protector in Greek
the island isnt called ionia its called chios
Holy he has pupils now
I like the new art style!
I thought she was Posideions husband and got killed because of a request/job (I forgot who asked to do it)
so not like the new style, it feels like it lost some of the charm with this new style
Thats Gorgon shit! TOTALL GORGON SHIT!
i think maybe you should use BCE/CE (before common era/common era) instead of BC/AD (before christ/ after death) because BC/AD is based off of jesus christ's birth and death which removes 33 years off of the timeline of things that happened on earth which messes up the actual timeline quite a bit
The first time I ever heard that version of Medusa you were referring to, where her power was a gift from Athena rather than a punishment, was in the remake of Clash of the Titans. Io was talking to Perseus and the soldiers from Argos as they were taking the boat to the underworld. I had heard of several people suggesting she was a tragic victim, but that movie was the first time I'd seen anyone put that spin on the story.
👍
It feels like we're all co-writing a fanfiction 😂
I’d love to see this about Arachne
Now I imagine Dave Batista playing an orc.
