Hi! This episode is a year old, I get that, but there are somethings I would like to point out as someone who's studied the Ancient Greeks and Romans.

I'm coming into this opinion as a sort of outside view. I love MLP but I was into the Classical Languages and Cultures ling before. I really, really enjoy how you draw comparisons between mythology and MLP. There are however, a few differences I'd like to clarify.

I say Greek AND Roman mythology because the Romans were the most unoriginal civilization in the Ancient world. The mythologies are nearly identical with different names and interpretation differences.

Regarding your thought of the ponies being deities, I like it, but I wouldn't connect them to the Gods you mentioned. I would actually put Luna and Celestia in the Titan God category.

***Important: If you've seen Disney's Hercules, please disregard anything they ever said in that movie about Titans***

The Titans were the Gods that originally ruled over the world before the Olympians took over. They were the walkmans to our iPods... I guess?

The thing that is special about the Titans is while the were Deities, they seemed to be a more pure form of what they represented. Selene was the Titan Goddess of the Moon in Greek mythology and that's all she was. Artemis is the Goddess of the Hunt and seemed to have taken the role over the moon solely because she was Apollo's twin. The original Sun God, Helios, was only the God of the Sun while Apollo is the God of many things.

The other reason I think the sisters are more Titan-like is because Selene is known as Luna (ding ding) in Roman mythology. She is depicted as having a crescent moon as a crown.

The sisters also seem to be much, much older than any other pony. My thought is that Luna and Celestia are Titans and Cadence and Twilight are more of Olympians. I'm going to say that based on the appearance of the sisters vs. the other alicorns. Now, I realize the debate between natural-born alicorns and created alicorns could also explain this difference, but the sparkly hair, taller-larger appearance, could also be due to the sisters being the Titans and currently in power.

That's my rant.

thanks for your insight! <br>Learned a lot today :0

thanks for your insight!
Learned a lot today :0

+Serria Yisasia well, (yes i know i'm late X3) cadence rules over the crystal empire, the sisters rule over equestria (:P duh) and twi, well she is the princess of friendship, later on in the show it doesn't look like twi or cadence are going to take over from Tia and Luna, with the Olympians  taking over from the titans, i don't believe that twi and cadence will step up to rule over equestria, so Luna and Tia well they will stay in power and dying of natural causes? Hasbro wouldn't show that in the show. so, our op gods would stay in power, i believe until the show ends, which i think will happen after season 6 is aired and season 6 is confirmed by Hasbro.  yes the sisters are much older than every pony but its the way an alicorn works, they age much slower than other ponys. the sparkly hair? Tia's is from defeating nightmare moon over 1,000 yrs ago. Luna? we have no idea yet, most of the fandom thinks its from her rising to power again, because if you look back to season one when nightmare moon is defeated, little Luna's mane was flat then later on her mane rose to be wavy again.

~(0w0)~ this is only my opinion i study Greek mythology a lot and i love mlp andddddddddddddd i'm bored. sorry to be a bother!


It would be nice to have these creatures in MLP.
Wraith
Efreet
Treant
Basilisk
Colossus
Titan
Cyclops
Medusa
Dragon made of bones maybe?
Kraken
Smooze
Triton

Sirens would be nice and they are already in MLP

There is a cyclops pony oh wait that was an animation error lol

The smooze is there! And the basalisk is there in harry potter! (And in MLP the cockatrice is very similar to the basalisk)

@cinder schuessler I mean, we've already got the Ursa Major, Dragon Lord Torch, and then Tantabus which are all about as big as titans.

Who can tell me what the unfused creature episode call

DAϟH Medusa wasn’t shown in MLP I think. Was she?

We got a Medusa... kinda? I mean, we had that chicken that turned people to stone.

Smooze=*Eh- Wait don't we have that all aready?*

There is four mythological creatures you have in that list that I now.

PoniPlayge the cofatrice ok ok better the chicken-dragon thing is like the medusa.

DIϟTORTED DAϟH there is a smooze in one episode....

Your wish has been fulfilled in Season 5. xD

@***** Look at the date the comment was posted.

@***** the man-iac is the pony female version of the joker

There is the Smooze in season 5 episode 7

@Kela fvcking Chan I have the game and u know shingeki no kyojin means 'advancing giants' not AOT

Oops, somebody already commented about the smooze. My bad. My cell wouldn't let me see the previous replies to your comment.... :/

I'm not sure about the rest, but its confirmed that the smooze from g1 is returning, and he will dance at a ball (i think the gala) with pinkie xD

@Emerald hiawa The main reason I don't play it much anymore is because of the hiatuses between new worlds.

@Emerald hiawa I used to play widard 101

@Emerald hiawa The Smooze are creatures from the first generation of MLP. They're like goo monsters that want to flood the world.<br>Also, I got hooked on mythology from playing Wizard101 if you know what that is.

Am I the only one who thought that the photo of discord on the cloud was adorable?

The Majestic Budder Kitten Golden Stripes uhhh okay


All creatures have their own kind of magic it’s just that ponies and discord seem to store and control more magic.

Dragons are also magical because of what happened when Spike got greedy.


2:17 Actually, in Greek Mythology, Icarus flew too close to the sea and the wax in his wings got wet. In the Roman myth, he flew too close to the sun.

@Anna Σιδέρη  actually when Icarus flew very close to sun his wings (which were made of wax) melted and Icarus fell in the sea and drowned

Not exactly. His father, Δαίδαλος (dk how it's pronounced in English) warned his that if he got to close to the sun his wings would melt and if we went to close to the sea they would get wet.  He was too amazed by his abitily to fly so he went higher... the rest is known

That's the Greek version, there may be more that I don't know


I actually saw the snake's eyes as a reference to disney's "The Jungle Book". What do you think?


You know this now has me thinking that when Discord may have been Star Swirl, he could have been an Alicorn also, on account of his large amount of magic, as to his being considered like to a Greek god. We know Star Swirl wore a wizard's cloak, and that he was unusually powerful and created many complex spells.

Perhaps. I only said Alicorn on account of the large amount of magic he seems to have, is all.

Ya, but that doesn't mean he's an alicorn. After all, star swirl was a famous UNICORN


Greek mythology rules !!!!!
Yay!
Mlp made a greek pegasister awfully proud ^-^

@Miles  Where'd the Pegasus of Grecian myth come from?  Oh yeah: He sprang from the blood of the recently-decapitated Gorgon Medusa.

I think you're definitely correct about the show taking some ideas from Greek Mythology, but I think it is incorrect to draw parallels beyond nomenclature. In the real world, the writers may be repackaging old stories in a new medium, so you may see the old stories and believe that this story here is the same. But that would be just as fallacious as believing the remake of an old movie has the same ending as the original. (This often happens to books when they are repackaged into movies)

What that means is that, though the stories may be parallel, they are not guaranteed to be the same. In fact, they are almost certainly going to differ. I like your suggestion that Discord created creatures and they are somehow leftover from his reign of chaos. I prefer to believe that each creature is a member of a larger population, i.e. there is more than one Chimera, Ursa, Cerberus, etc. However, my proof is as scarce as yours.


People, this is how Percy Jackson / MLP crossovers make total sense.

+Noel Hawthorne have you even read the books because this is exactly like Percy Jackson

@Noel Hawthorne What do you mean "no it not"? do you mean "No its not" or "No it does not"? Or do you mean "No it is not"? You sentence isn't complete.

@Noel Hawthorne What do you mean "no it not"? do you mean "No *its* not" or "No it *does* not"? Or do you mean "No it *is* not"? You sentence isn't complete.

@Momo Miya PERCY JACKSON YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 words. BRING. IT. ON.<br>Yeeeeessssss!!!


twilight would be the goddess of wisdom who was athena she even has the owl

I had a fanart of twilight dressed up as athena for a greek play tho

Well greek gods dont exist Im a christian thats why I think like that. - mia

And stars swirl would be Eris maybe..Or sunset shimmer would be Eris?Idk

@Katrina Williams  Athena is goddess of strategic warfare

Yea,and Rainbow dash would  be Zeus or Iris,Apple jack would be Demeter,Fluttershy would be Persephone,Pinkie would be Hermes because of her funny and mishevious personality,Rarity would be Aphrodite,Celestia would be Helios or Apollo,Luna would be Artemis,Selene or Nyx,Cadence would be Hera maybe

346Spectrum ATHENA IS NOT GODDESS OF WISDOM AND WAR ARES IS THE GOD OF WAR FOR GOD SAKE!!!!

XXx kgwilliams xXX NO ARES IS THE GOD OF WAR UGH

Dilesha Mcwashington WISDOM AND STRATEGY DO PPL EVEN READ MYTHOLOGY BOOKS!!!

+XXx kgwilliams xXX Twilight Fight Many Adventures And Journeys And Can Pass Any Test She Can Also Fight For War And Athena And Twilight Are Both Smart

+XXx kgwilliams xXX  , Aha! but she is! She is the ELEMENT OF MAGIC!! She's defeated many creatures, like Athena. She's defended the city, and Athena's the goddess of CITY DEFENCE!!! But , she might also be Hecate. You never know!

But Athena is also the goddess of war, something that twilight is certainty not


I am a HUGE fan of Greek mythology, so this is my new favorite episode!


Don't forget the SIRENS in Rainbow Rocks.

@Alicia Gonzalez I know. I'm talking about two completely different creatures

@Aqualily animals Sorry I spelt a word wrong. Changelings. Is that better?

At one point, I thought one of them was Starlight Glimmer.


This. Is. Awesome. I'd love to see Percy Jackson and the whole gang made into ponies as like fan art or something. I'd be super cool!


The Greek and Roman influences in Mlp really helped out on my latin exam when I had to provide examples of Greek and/or Roman influences on modern times in the culture section.


The goats which were sacrificed to the Minotaur are in the maze also, now what I don't get is if the princesses banished Terek (sorry if spelt wrong)  why did they not take role if leader until after discord unless if they were together at the same time because Terek knew discord. Now that got off topic but there must be a symbol for banishing Terek to Tartarus if Tartarus is not "hell" but a spot in hell for the titans banished and to never return.

crimson phoenix tarturus is a pit into the void not in hell

@***** that certainly is a good question

I don't think Tirek actually knew Discord. He certainly knew ABOUT Discord, like the fact that he was turned to stone and seemed to escape. My guess is he saw the statue of Discord and heard of him before. Remember Tirek has been wandering around since "It's about Time" Which was after Discord was turned into Stone and before his reformation. I hope that helped. :)


I love when you take all the little details and put them together to make big facts and I also think mlp is related to greek mythology


I'd like to hear more of this theory of yours,but aside from that,I think you might be right.
Celestia=Apollo. Reason:They both control the sun.
Luna=Artemis. Reason:Both control the moon.
Cadance=Aphrodite. Reason:They both control love.
Discord=Eris. Reason:Both are spirits of chaos.


Others have mentioned it, but the snake's hypnotic eyes resemble the snake in Jungle Book.

The idea of ponies being demigods is really interesting though, and it was nice to see all the references to Greek mythology that I missed ^^


I think you should elaborate on the 'ponies being gods idea.' It makes a lot of since. I've always wondered where they came up with the personalities and talents of the ponies. Each character probably represents something in the Greek stories. Some of the episodes might even be based off of some Greek legends.


When you said “I think it was created by Discord” I thought “But doesn’t it come from Greek mythology?” I was right!


Love how he added “The Princess Bride” movie into it!!


This makes so much sense! Wow. I see things a lot more clear now. Thanks!


I'm a big sucker for Greek Mythology.<br>So every time I saw a flaw about GM I flipped my shit.

this video helped me find out My Little Pony's story!
Two alicorns ruled a land. There names Clestia and Luna.
The ailcorn built animals like griffons.
Griffons where greedy freaks who craved to be "shiny like golden stars" and freaks out when they know they can't be star golden.
Next was the dragoness. Dragonesses where animal with a singing voice which charmed ponies leading them into the ocean to drown. Males (which were called Dragoni) had powers even crazier then a female's. Ponies followed the animal into a grass garden. Put on the grass garden was a wooden chair craved with the words saying "You are the king!" The animal would act like he was a king. Until he kill him with a ball of blall.


No matter what. No matter if it's a review or just some pony video, if you mention the fire swamp, you have to reference "Princess Bride". Law of the fandom! Also this one of the best theories I've heard in a long time. So many possibilities! Keep up the awesome!


Waiting to see if the gorgons will be an villain in mlp :)

Cockatrice and Gorgons were sort of blended together

Cockatrices could kill a person with a stare, the Gorgons could turn people to stone

@Ethan Chew i say priestess or maybe even oracle, someone who is tied to gods and demigods and may have some powers, but is still mortal

Then where does Zecora fit into the picture?

Oh that would actually be SO scary!! I hate gorgons!!


Wow, you make very interesting points. GASP, I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING!!!!! Ok, ok, what if Lauren Faust has a Greek Mythology interest and she puts it in the show? THAT'D BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Take this from someone who's loved Greek mythology since my childhood, you got a couple things wrong. First off Chimera is pronounced Ki-mee-rah, you don't use the "ch." Also, Artemis and Apollo are technically the gods of the moon an sun, but Apollo and Artemis are gods of many things, and the sun and moon aren't the main thing they represent. That honor would go to two minor gods, Helios and Selene, gods of the sun and moon respectively.


I LOOOOOVE GREEK MYTHOLOGY AND I THINK YOU'RE ONTO SOMETHING!!!
All the myths you mentioned are real and let me tell you
YOURE MYTHOLOGY IS GREAT AND YOU SHOULD START A MYTHOLOGY CHANNEL!!!


i love that part where you said this

They've got the quick sand & the flame spurts. Now all they need are the ROUS's (Rodents Of Unusual Size)" (cue cutaway)

+Aeryn Neilson  that scene in the princess bride makes me jump every time


I really like that, and it actually makes a lot of sense. We could possibly use that as foreshadowing to figure out whether or not the rest of the mane 6 will become alicorns as well. Here's what I matched up: (Including yours)
Cadence- Aphrodite
Celestia- Apollo
Luna- Artemis
Discord- Eris
Twilight- Hecate
Pinkie Pie- Gelos
Fluttershy- Artemis
Apple Jack- Sancus
Rainbowdash- Sancus ... Also? Help me out here? >.<
Rarity- Clotho...Maybe?
I don't think the rest of the mane 6 will become alicorns because theirs isn't as clear cut, but y'know, this was still fun.

@Deme F.Q No!Rarity is Aphrodite!Luna is Artemis or Selene or Nyx,Rainbow Dash is Zeus or Hermes or Iris,Fluttershy is Persephone

WRONG!Cadence is Hera!Celestia is Apollo or Helios,Luna is Artemis,or Selene or Nyx,Twilight is Athena,Pinkie is Hermes,Rarity is Aphrodite,Rainbow Dash is Zeus or Iris,Apple jack is Demeter,Fluttershy is Persephone

@DiamondSword MLP
Dionysus is also the god of feasts, celebration and partying.
Shining Armor is the captain of the Royal Guard (Equestrian Army) and he wears an armor/helmet like Ares does!

-Celestia might be the goddess of the sun like Apollo, but I believe Zeus suits her better given her overall majesty. Or Hemera, goddess of the day.
-Luna should be Hera, given how both Luna and Hera have fallen victim to envy due to Celestia/Zeus. She could also be Hades for the same reason. Or much more simply, Nyx the goddess of the night.
-Twilight could also be Athena.
-Pinkie Pie could also be Dionysus.
-Applejack should be Demeter, goddess of agriculture (not to mention that Sancus isn't technically a Greek deity, but a Roman one).
-Rainbow Dash should be Hermes, because of her flying speed.
-Rarity could also be Hestia, although loosely.
-Spike should be Hephaestus.
-Last but not least, Shining Armor should be Ares!

And as for the role of Poseidon... Granny Smith, because she's a skilled water acrobat. Or Steven Magnet, the serpent in the Everfree river?


This also explains how ponies (demigods) can become alicorns (gods) , like Dionysus.


From the future:

Grogar was the father of monsters..


I always thought Discord's hypnotizing eyes were a refrance to the snake in the jungle book.


"Ch-Mera" Okay I have to spend a lot of willpower to keep watching after knowing you cannot pronounce the word that is the subject of this video. This is gonna be a bumpy ride getting all the way through this and wincing every single time.
"Ceberus" you missed out an R. Are you doing this on purpose?

How is it lazy to reuse the animation for the eyes? That was clearly a reference to how snakes are said to be able to hypnotise you with their eyes in certain cultures, as seen in Jungle Book. The effect they used fo Discord was also this hypnosis eye effect. They are literally the same. How is it lazy to use the same effect for what is literally the same thing? You aren't making a lot of sense with that argument.

"Tartar us" Jesus Christ no. You did it. You did the thing unironically.

However you are probably right. The Everfree forest which has most of these monsters in it, is created from Discord's magic. And we know the chimeras are magically created. So two and two together, it makes sense to me!


The messengers name is Mercury. I'm a Greek myth fan, so Totally saw all those references. Lauren Faust stated she used Greek because its so recognizable

Dirty Roman* PJO fans laughing in the distance*


Actually in Greek mythology  Selena was the goddess of the moon, Artimas stood for the moon, but I get why you use artimas and apollo . Most people think it's artimas but it's Selena look it up. And for info Helios was the god of the sun.


Although discord is a boy (if he even has a gender) he could also be Eris, goddess of discord. It would make more sense than him being Ares, who although he thrives in chaos, it is war chaos unlike the weird chaos that discord thrives in. Eris's chaos is less specific  and could rotate between many different forms, probably why she is Ares right hand women


The baby discord on the cloud is very very adorable! Flutter shy would love that and Zecora the zebra 🦓 will kind of know the animal that you said about in this video


MORTALS!!! I like this theory it makes a lot of sense and i'd love to see it as a story line.


Has anyone noticed how similar the hypnotizing animation in MLP is to the one used by Disney's Sir Hiss fro Robin Hood and Kaa from the jungle book? Also, a hydra lives in Froggybottom Bog (from the episode Feeling Pinkie Keen)


It does sound like you're on to something. I would believe that all you stated about their status being gods are demigods would be true. All I can really say is that I love the fact that Princess Celestia Princess Luna I have the rulership. I definitely love them to pieces!


I think that makes a lot of sense actually! But we may be looking too closely. Maybe it is much simpler than that, maybe Discord was given magic like in the episode were magic was stolen,maybe he earned it way, way, way back in history.


Man... A place I can talk about mlp AND Greek mythology! Who would be Dionysus? Let's see a hippogriff!

Honey, you just predicted the future.<br>Thanks MLP producers for looking back at this video and scrolling through the comments to find ideas for the movie!

Raven6229 Dionysius is the god of wine and he hates hero's and he got banished/put I'm in half blood as a director

@xxgolden bearxx  Hippogriffs are from Greek mythology, and Rowling threw them into her book because magic.

@Raven6229  wait arent hippogriff's harrypotter? griffons r greek..

@alex altenberger i meant hippogriff (darn you auto correct!)

@Raven6229 try silver quill, he's a hippodrome


Don't forget about the interesting parallels between Greek and Pegasus architecture and culture, especially what we've seen of equestria's distant past.


When Luna was posessed with evil, could it (the evilness inside her) be a titan? Kronos is the father of the 6 Olympian gods (including Hades). Could it be Kronos that posessed Luna to becoming Nightmare Moon? Maybe he possesed her so he could overthrow Celestia and make everypony and mythological creature his slaves or just rule them unfairly.

I maybe making zero sense, but this is my thoughts.


I would say earthponies are more mortal than demigod.

I like to think that this mythology stuff can tie into the lifespans of the characters too.
For example:

Discord lives forever. The alicorns can live just as long. Unicorns are immortal too, so they live for centuries. The pegasi live long too, but less than unicorns. And the earthponies are horses so they can only live up to 30 years.
To me, earthponies are like humans, pegasi are like hobbits, unicorns are like elves and the alicorns are like Aragorn.


Hmm... Twilight would be Athena (goddess of wisdom) and Hecate (Titaness of magic) combined. The other princess' Greek god correspondents make sense. I never thought of the Discord-invented-the-monsters-thing before! Nice thinking!!


the only problem I have with cadences being Aphroditie is Aphroditie was born a goddess, and the only god/goddess that might have a slight possibility of being older then her is the goddess of magic and crossroads, while cadences was made a alicorn.


Here's a list of things you left out (not being a jerk, just following orders)

>The Sirens (even their singing putting people under their spell lines up!)
>Goats in Iron Will's maze (sacrifices to the Minotaur)
>Chrysalis and Zeus (impersonating as a spouse)
>If you're being Greek, Luna would be Selene and Celestia would be Helios
>If we see Twilight as demigod-turned-god, Celestia could be Chiron
>Twilight and Fluttershy could symbolize Theseus, taking the Minotaur [Iron Will] down, more metaphorically than realistically.
>Athena as Celestia (wise)
>Prometheus & Pinkie Pie (knowing what will happen before it happens)


Honestly, it would be really cool if it was all actually related to greek mythology! IM OBSSESSEDEDEDEDD WITH IT O3O


If you like  Greek myths I suggest that you read The Lighting Thief by Rick Riordon!


Wouldn't Discord be Dionysis? The God of wine and madness?
And if this did connect to Greek mythology as closely as you mentioned, then does that mean that Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Twilight, as princesses, have someone they take orders from. A Zeus of sorts?
Greek mythology does seem like the birth place of many ideas for monsters. They are one of the oldest documented civilizations. Therefore, they have a lot of influence over the rest of the world when looking into mythical non-human-esque creatures.
Now on a side note, my sister and I were discussing Bat ponies and crystal ponies. Bat ponies seem to be a night variant of normal Pegasi, and Fluttershy was changed rather easily. Is it possible that there really is another group of flying ponies that lean more toward the night?
My sister has theorized that yes, they do exist. And they aren't the only ponies that lean toward the night. In her theory, Crystal ponies play a similar role to the bat ponies when compared to Earth ponies. Partially due to the fact that there are no Crystal Pegasi or Crystal unicorn. The crystal ponies were seen as the night variant of the earth ponies until Sambra had sent them away. During the time they were gone there was an uneven balance of day and night species. You see where I'm going with this don't you? Just like your review with CC, my sister believes that there was a point in history, after Sambra's banishment that led to tension between day and night species leading to an eventual banishment of the night species. Since the crystal ponies weren't around at the time, their story had been altered and forgotten for years, only to return as another group of ponies. Bat ponies however still haven't returned.
And maybe you're saying, that's fine and all, but there is no unicorn equivalent to this so called night ponies.
What if I told you we may have already seen one. Sambra himself.
Out of all the unicorns seen, good, bad, rude, nice, smart or dumb, he is the only one with a curved horn. Could it be that the unicorn's night equivalent is basically a unicorn with a curved horn instead of a straight one?
A little food for thought. Maybe you agree. Maybe you don't. Just let me know what you think! Maybe...
Anyways, back to the video at hand, very creative idea. And maybe it is true. We may never know.


Your hypothesis and conclusion make perfect sense because maybe the creator and animators based this show on Greek mythology


the ponys each represent different goddesses and gods in greek mythology as well! like pinkie is Baccus and twilight is Hecate ect


Nope, i don't think so, the Chimera in Greek Mythology It was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra. Echidna(mate wasTyphon) was a monster, half-woman and half-snake, was the mother of many of the most famous monsters of Greek myth including Cerberus, so it may be the other way around Discord is a offspring of Echidna. Typhon was also a sepertin giant lie his wife the son of Gaia and Tartarus


OMG, this makes SO much sense.  I mean think about it! the creators of MLP must have gotten most of their ideas from Greek mythology! * AWSOME!! *


In the jungle book, the snakes eyes have the SAME animation when it hypnotizes Mowgli

Also, that reference to The Princess Bride though! "What about the ROUSes?" "Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist." XD


Pretty good idea. But, who is Twilight? If each of the princesses are someone, who would Twilight be? And what about every pony else? It would be pretty cool if you dug more into this Greek mythology theory. It's very interesting.


Uhhh, you forgot Cerberus (the three headed doggo) in that one episode where he's searching for someone And stumbles into Ponyville


I like how you give us concepts and leave it to us to use them


The animation used in the snake's eyes and Discord's eyes came from the movie "The Jungle Book". Where that snake hypnotized Mogli.


1:27 That very animation that Discord and the tail of Chimera use is THE EXACT SAME as the animation in an old movie (By old I think it was made in 2006 or something) called Jungle Book, which I still own. I enjoyed that movie when I was a little kid, and still enjoy it to this day. (It's Disney, what do you expect?) So, yeah, Hasbro rips of Disney, eh? Well * slow clap * Congrats Hasbro.


I'm not sure if Tirek could be classified as a centaur, because to my knowledge a centaur is part horse and part human.  Tirek seems to be part horse and part ram-goat thing.


My mind is now BLOWN to pieces... I had no idea Greek Mythology would be tied in with MLP HOLY CRAP!!!


Sawtooth: "It dosen't breath fire."
Season 8: Yeah, it dose. If it dosen't then your name is Marshmellow and not Sawtooth.

Edit: The Loin part of it is a Tiger not a Lion in MLP.


I have a theory about the sirens! Maybe they were once ponies. Their pony form is cannon, and they have cutie marks. Their hippocampus form doesn't have cutie marks. My theory is that they were born ponies, they got their cutie marks from singing as their talent, since they all have a music note on their marks, and one day they found the gems that turned them into sirens, and their hippocampus form. They used the gems to sing and get power, and they relied on the gems so much that they forgot how to sing without them.


I kind of think that Twilight would represent Heracles or some might be familiar with Hercules. Just like Heracles she did a bunch of tasks before she became a princess.


everything you said makes since after learning a little more about gods in myths


u are totally right about the Greek mythology .I think u should talk to Lauren faust about it ,because she is the creator of the show.


THE ANIMATION FOR THE EYES IS THE SAME IN THE JUNGLE BOOK 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Yup the same animation used when Kaa hypnotizes in the cartoon version


Love how you used a clip from the princess bride


good theory though. But there is a problem about that theory. (well maybe just for me)

when discord snaps in his claw or paw or whatev, he will need some'thing' to make it any thing he want. I know that sometimes when he snaps his claw or paw, he makes something appear on thin air. But as you will see at the season 7 episode 2 (or 3 cause i don't know what episode is bottled up), starlight says about the disappearing spell that it's not actually disappearing. It's actually teleporting spell. Maybe it's how discord's magic works too.

I know it may sound weird but it's just a theory


I think now that the show is over, you should revisit this idea of Greek gods. What other gods and Demi-gods are depicted in the show?


man, I can understand the theory of discord creating those, but here's the thing,<br>CEREBERUS WASN'T MADE BY DISCORD! HE WAS BORN INSIDE OF TARTARUS! so practically, tartarus was the one who kind of gave birth to cereberus to guard the gates of tartarus, to make sure that the things inside can't escape.

Actually Helios is the God of the sun, did you actually study Greek mythology, also you pronounced some of the monsters names wrong like chimera and Cerberus

Also what if the other magical beings (like discord) are other aspects of the gods, like the Egyptian versions of the Greek gods?

Well, since discord is the only one that only one with the title of god, i do see the Greek scene and stuff but I think discord is the only god because like you said he could of made the animals. Or like in most Greek myths discord is the god and discords parents are Titans. based on ink rose's theory she said that Luna's and tia's parents were most likely Zeus and Hera and they live on Olympus which is possibly space, but as you know the titan war discords parents were the titans of chaos, and in Greek myths they were defeated but locked up,and soon to show up. that's my theory.


That theory about gods-demigods-mortals thing will be true it will explain why ponies live for a really long time, why even earth ponies have magic and why the others don't. I think it has atleast a bit of true in it... but if someone cough cough Lauren cough cough or others cough cough won't tell that it's totally wrong. ;-)

I always loved Greek mythology and seeing them in the show is always plesent


All those magical creatures like the timber wolf where created by discord there is some similarities to it like the fact that the timber wolf is made of sticks and can form an even bigger one!


I would explain my theory but that would require a person to have a really, really open minded mind

Hi is this the place where you talk about stuff cuze i have a LOT to say

@Mizzet5 hmmm apocalyptic war you say...

@Pinkamena Diane Pie You know, there's also a theory about how MLP is the result of an apocalyptic war (Like Adveture Time) where humans and horses were mixed through radiation. In fact, there are things in MLP that would definitely take thumbs to operate, and only (roughly) 1/3 of the population are Unicorns, and only (roughly) 78% of them know basic levitation. Although it is a rare theory, it is very intriguing, like yours. Maybe I just like it because it would mean we all eventually get to be ponies! B3

@MrDarkwingedangel i said that the ponies were the outcome of the combination of all other intellectual beings in all other universes, witch is caused by a rip or something huge that made the space time continuum reset, by no other than discord  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), or T.R.S.E , but id rather not explain who that is because you'll look at me with a WTF face and prbally won't sleep right for a couple of days

@Miner Bro im not sure if you actually said this about how discord was turning the humans into ponies  and all made me think maybe thats what  made celesta think or know ,seeing how twilight was crowned princess in EQG , who to pick in becoming one of the protectors of the universe .... or idk ... this in my first conspiracy but .. just to throu that out there .... ^.^

Actually now that i have thought about it, maybe the mirror is a ripe in the time paradox, that sunset shimmer created, maybe her actual motive in EQG is to somehow obtain the powers that discord had before the universe reset. She though that the only way to get them is to go back to before the universe reset. But before she could the ripe in the time paradox closed. So maybe celestia lied about that the portal opens every 30 years. Then somehow sunset shimmer found how to obtain the powers by bringing back the most strongest element of harmony back to the past and use it to harness Discords powers. But twilight mission isn't actually to bring back the element but secretly to destroy this rip in time, thus destroying the past and ending sunset shimmer for good. sounds kinda weird but it's what i came up with

@The Brony Notion<br>Well possible or it could just be another parallel universe, or maybe Discord is actually behind this as well

@The Brony Notion
Well possible or it could just be another parallel universe, or maybe Discord is actually behind this as well

@Miner Bro<br>Wow! That was incredibly deep, and strangely enough it makes sense! So if that world is a result of our world resetting, than do you think the portal to the human world from EQG is a door to the past?

If you guys really want me to, So my theory is a sientific explanation to why everything in equestria exist, while also adding some other ideas that are far fetched. In simple terms, the realm of mlp is the result of the space time continuum resetting our universe, ikr your probably thinking wtf, now let me go into more detail. You see something caused a break or a misshape in our universe that the space time continuum could not handle and in order to resolve it had to completely reset what we know our universe is. What caused this? , now things get really interesting, I think discord is a inter dimensional creature that has the abillity to manipulate the universe. He is basically in every universe at any given moment ( cough cough TRSE cough cough). Except at this time Discord was a lot more powerful and his intentions were a lot more dark and evil. So he caused something our universe that made it unstable and thus, in order to for the space time continuum to fix it, completely erased our universe, well not completely. See in order for our universe to be reset the space time continuum had to to combined other parallel universes so make our universe stable. So basically the mlp universe is a whole bunch of parallel universe that have combined to make it stabilized. So now to show how this works. Ponies, aka unicorns, earth ponies, and peagusi, are us humans in this universe, but in order for the universe to become stable again, we where combined with other intelligent beings in other parallel universes. Animals like the donkeys and cows, originate from our universe, that's why they look so realistic. Now all the other greek and roman creatures you see are creations of Discord, as the Brony Notion said. They where created in Discords last attempt in bringing evil and chaos before he was striped of almost all of his powers and his mined was earsed by some other greater force of power. Ok now i think Celestia and Luna are something more than meets the eye. Celestia is the overwatcher of the new universe and she is there to make sure it remains stable. Luna is the this universes protector of the nocturnal safe haven in which every living things mind accends to while you sleep. Cadence ... well idk because i think she is useless because if your freinds are your best freinds and you care for them so much dosen't that mean you love them as well?. Twilight is going to be next in line to watch over the universe after Celestia is um well killed i guess. The elements of harmony were created to ensure that if anything else tampered with the universe that there is a weapon strong enough to use them. the other 5 mane are the wielders of the elements are will be replaced if they are killed or die. Now to cutie marks, these exist because Discord , before striped of his powers and memory earesd, made all the ponies unable to do anything, there minds were unable to comprehend anything that could be used to ensure their well being. So cutie marks were created to make sure the ponies can have a set goal in life that will help society and make sure they can live on. Now the everfree forest is a parallel universe inside of a universe, It is the left over of Discords last creation and the place that acts most like our universe. Now i hope you have enjoyed reading this and at this point your thinking of how wrong i could be and how stupid this sounds, Well your probaly right and i could actually care less about what you think of me so yah. If you do agree with me i would actually like to know what you think can would like it if you reply with some of your ideas. and lets thank Brony Notion for such a good topic to talk about. <br>and as always /) brohoof

if you said that discord is starswirl, (FYI discord was said to be part pony in the show) how would he be the"god" of chaos?
and if the show said that ponies were like demigods, and everyone else is mortal,that would be a bad message to send to a young audience, and how would there be a difference between creatures as a monster and creatures chose as more pony/civilized?

I just confused myself.


Discord is technically a chimera too.<br>The snake has Kaa eyes, same as Discord.

Love "The Princess Bride" Reference! I respect you


Lol. I watched The Princess Bride when I was little, and the R.O.U.S's scared the living daylights out of me.


Cool youre greek at school at history class I learn about the greek history and is cool

Oh Greece that's and awsome place lucky to live there I don't :(

NefiDreams im from greek too my name is Metaxia your name


This comletly changed my mind. But there are lots of mithological god places still needing to be filled. That is of course, if My Little Pony is based on greek myths.


The sirens from Rainbow Rocks is a direct parallel to the sirens in Greek Mythology


Rodents of unusual size! 😂😂😂😂😂 I LOVE THAT MOVIE!


It's also the same one from the original jungle book. (Kaa)<br>The hypnotize

It's also the same one from the original jungle book. (Kaa)
The hypnotize


omg I'm a big fan of Greek mythology so this was awesome  oh and Aries is the God of War not chaos so yea

Zahra Taibi in roman mythology! His name is Mars!!!!!!!

+Zahra Taibi mars and aries are the same person just that one is greek and one is roman

I just adore Greek mythology and Mars was the god of war.


In Greek mythology almost all MLP creatures are a thing. Even horses were used in battle.


They're also the same eyes Kaa Uses in the Jungle Book, which being Disney, is completely unrelated to MLP.

I'm pretty sure they are just supposed to be generic hypno-eyes.


Nice theory. Just wondering something though. Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Rarity are elements of harmony. Shouldn't they be practically gods? Twilight is an allicorn because of these 5 ponies. Because of them, she became a goddes. She also gets most of her power from them.


sorry to be a mythology nerd but it's pronounced: kaimera

@The Brony Notion what about body biceps? he's super strong(a reference to Hercules.)


THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!'
I FINALLY KNOW WHY I'M SO ATTRACTED TO MLP!!!!!
I LOVE GREEK MYTHOLOGY SO THAT EXPLAINS WHY I LOVE MLP!!!!
IT HAS GREEK MYTHOLOGY!!!!!


So, another ancient Greek reference they put in MLP, was the Crystal Ponies.. the head bands on some of the mares resembled those of ancient Greeks.


My headcanon is that the chimera is a dracoequus. Inter species body parts, the eyes that you mentioned, and it being a magical intelligent creature.


Oh so that's why the show interested me so much. I was always way into the percy jackson books to begin with...


Γιατι η Ελλινκη Μυθογια ειναι ΤΕΛΕΙΑ επνευση για διαφορα τερατα! = Because Greek Mythology is THE PERFECT  insperation for monsters! greek pegaster speakinghear ;D

I watched this long before I watched the princess movie then I watched it again after I saw the princess bride in a made me laugh so hard


Maybe Discord is the father of the beast we have see or a brother that might explain why the snake has the same hypnotising eyes


Hmm... Lauren was studying Greek myths when thinking of mlp, so maybe it was just her flow of ideas.


If the alicorns are gods, as well as Discord, it still makes sense within the main cannon. This would probably make Twilight Hecate, the Greek goddess of magic. And before y'all just say "no, she's princess of FRIENDSHIP not MAGIC, idiot!", in this universe, friendship IS magic. So ha. :p

Not to mention the fact that, in Greek mythology, the gods would grant the heroes immortality and make them gods, if they thought them worthy.

No!Twilight is Athena because Twilight's pet is the owl and Athena's pet is the owl just like Twilight's


Selene is the goddess of the moon while Helios is the god of the sun in my knowledge


Now that I look at the map I realize the whole setting in map is really far apart so does that mean Equertria ( can't spell right) is really small


I've been thinking this for a while. bout time I see a bid on it. also I thought the hypno eyes was a homage to that snake from the jungle book.


Don't forget Ahuizotl - the creature from Aztec mythology.<br>


Maybe Zapp from the power ponies is supposed to Jason Grace? (R.I.P) But the chimera is supposed to have a lion head not a tiger head. Dam.


I loved the Princess Bride reference. i was like wheres he going with this OMG all we need is the ROUS's !!!!!!!!


dont forget sirens
and the lyre (an instrument played by greeks)
BTW, im using this for my greek project i have to do lol
references of greek stuff in mlp!! thanks, Brony Notion!!!!!!!!! XD


Discord wouldn’t be a ‘god’. He would be a titan. The titans in Greek Mythology created the ‘gods’.


could you make a video on why the ponies coat turn grey or a dark shade when they lose their cutie marks? or when in the return of harmony the mane six turned opposite of their true elements and their coats also turn a dark shade


That would make sense to all the mythical creatures in the show so..... i agree with it


YES FINALLY!!!!! I LOVE GREEK MYTHOLOGY!!!!!!!!!! XD


I'd like to point out that Ares is not the god of Chaos. He is the god of war. Eris is the Greek goddess of chaos. Just pointing out this tiny mistake.


Interesting theory there's also a three headed dog in the show too


Wait discord as a girl his name is Eris!!!!

<b>says under breath</b> omg he replyed to me!!!!!!!!!!!  * faints*

*says under breath* omg he replyed to me!!!!!!!!!!!  * faints*


Sorry to nit pick Brony Notion, but the monster's name is pronounced as, "Kai-Mare-Ah". I know it's spelled as C-H-I-M-E-R-A, but you have to trust me on this, like how the two words No, and Know, sound the same, but are spelled differently.


So are Zebra counted as ponies too then?<br>Because Zecora does magic magic, but not like unicorn magic magic.

Well, Apollo IS a god of music poetry, archery and sun (among he other things excluding the medicine - this one is for Asclepius), but back to the sun. In the beginning the god of sun was actually Helios, but then greeks made them to one. Once Helios' charriot that carried the sun through the sky, was "given" to the Apollo, just because greeks wanted less gods to worship and make sacrifices for. And also for Demeter - she IS greek goddes of harvest, which I can't say the refference appeared in the show.

@TheLilyBilly  please note that I am sorry and when I say if a religan is real or not, it is my own opianion

@factory dash Excuse me, I'm sorry but I'm just slightly offended that you basically said my whole culture is a lie. If you have the right to believe in your god then we have the right to believe in ours without it being called fake. What makes your god any more real then our gods and goddesses, or any more real the the Egyptians gods and goddesses, or the roman's or any other god, there are all bibles on them too. Basically each religion has there own version or versions of a higher power. How would you feel if I bashed your "god" and said it was fake. I'm guessing upset, So don't say other people's beliefs are fake. Please.

Apollo is the god of practically everything!!!!!!!

Apollo is the god of practically everything!!!!!!!

@Sabrina Thomas yeah i agree and i study mythology more than The Brony Notion study's and watch's my little pony and fluttershy.

I am pretty sure Apollo is the God of sun, truth and prophecy, healing, plague, music, poetry, and more. One God can be a ruler of several things

in some versions, Apollo & Artimes are the gods of the sun & moon instead of the titans Helios & Seleme.

apollo - son of zeus, twin brother of artimis, god of the sun, music, archery, healing and phrophises.

He is the god of the sun, music, healing, and poetry.

He is the god of the sun, music, healing, and poetry.

apollo is the god of music/poetry, healing and the sun

@Peter Takáč maybe we can see a flash back where celestia is not an alicorn and is a archer for say unicorns (they had a war right?)

Great now i want to see Celestia with bow. That prophecy is also trait of Celestia she sometimes have a dreams about future or some danger as seen in season 4 finale

He's the god of the sun, music, medicine, archery, and prophecy.<br>My brother is an expert.

Your Luna is Artemis theory is the best. I love both of them


I have a little feeling that discord or maybe my little pony in general is Greek. I know that it's voice casting and what not is in English but maybe just mmaayybbee Lauren Faust got most of her ideas from Greek mythology.


I was gonna make an Princess Bride reference from the fire swamp but you beat me to it..


I studied Greek myths at school in hear three ( one year ago ) and yep your right


And the last time I checked it was pronounced Ki-mēr-a


Omg I love this! have you herd of Percy Jackson if not you should read it ( if you like mythology...) it's a book series and it's so good!!


Wow...just wow XD that is quite the interesting theory that does indeed fit, how do you notice these things?


My answers Ares (God of War And Chaos) is Discord Athena(Goddess of Wisdom) Is twilight Aphrodite (Godess of Love) is Cadence Apollo (God of The sun and music) is Celestia Artemis (Godess of the moon and nature) is Luna Dionsyus (God of Wine and parties) is Pinkie pie thats it maybe you can check more with the Goddess Girls Series i’m in book 9


Cerberus translates to spotted. Hades LITERALLY named his dog spot!!! I find that super funny!


no discord would be discordia greek godess of CHAOS

Harry Potter Percy Jackson and Fablehaven I love percy jackson too!

Friend of Nature heacte is also sex so no!

Richard nolen lol, the GODDESS of chaos.

Oh found another Percy Jackson fan in the comments! Welcome to the club my friend

I NEED BLOOD OF OLYMPUS, SON OF NEPTUNE, AND MARK OF ATHENA

@Friend of Nature Yup, Rainbow Dash would  be a storm spirit('cause those actually take the form of horses)

@Ravenclaw Ghost Maybe, he's either Chaos or Eris

No he would be Chaos the creator of the universe and the Primordial God of chaos.

Or he'd just be Eris, the goddess of discord. After all, she created the golden apple of discord.


I think discord would be a mix of dynosus and janus (roman god of doors),<br>Dynosus is the god of madness similar to chaos, and Janus the god of doors and it could show the doors of good and evil and that he contantly has to visit them.

0:44 is possibly the best thing I've ever seen.


What about the elements? Are they in Greek mythology too? I haven't read about them in any myths


Amazing, I so agreed, I just want to know what kind of oc characters can have cutie marks<br>


WRONG WRONG WRONG! EVERYTHING IS WRONG! ARES IS GOD OF WAR! (im pretty sure XD)

He meant Eris. She is the ‘goddess of chaos.’

JakeTheRake He said Eris the goddess of Chaos

I don't believe the brony notion's wrong about all this. I don't even remember him saying anything about Ares.

Yes it's true, he's called that in Wonder Woman

JakeTheRake he is well in greek mothologhy

they're not pronounced the same; Ares is 'Air-ese' where as Eris is 'Air-is'. though i do understand the misconception there; i used to think daemon was pronounced 'day-mon' not 'demon'

JakeTheRake AND IT'S PRONOUNCED CARE-BRR-ÔS NO SER-BER-US.

JakeTheRake but isn’t she the god of hunt Athena is the god of war

He's the god of music sun archery healing and prophecy

JakeTheRake  thanks the goddess of discord is Eris. Myth says she gave Hera Athena and Aphrodite a golden apple that said to the fairest. and they fought over it. longer story short, Eris caused the Trojan war

Ares is the god of war... he meant Eris( pronounced the same) , which is ares's sister, who is the goddess  of chaos

yes you are correct I study greek mythology and Ares is the god of war

Ares is the god of chaotic war, as Athena is the god of orderly war

JakeTheRake do you know Greek mythology and ares is also chais

he maybe the god of war but he's also the god of chaos

yep, in Greek mythology, but Romans called him Mars

You idiot, go get a life. Instead of hating random people you should really try making a living out of yourself. c:

you idiot, clean out your ears. he said Eris, not Ares.

@Phoebe cooley  Athena is the Goddess of BATTLE STRADEGY and wisdom. not war, war STRADEGY.

Athena (my favourite goddess) is the goddess of WAR and wisdom

Well, it could be like Apollo- who is apparently god of the sun AND poetry.

+xxgolden bearxx  yeah,he is,and his roman form is Mars.

yah but there thinking of artimis not aeres

+xxgolden bearxx he said Eris which is the goddess of discord or chaos

You're right but he ERIS the goddess of chaos

I think He said Eris, Ares sister ( and the goddess of DISCORD), not Ares.

@xxgolden bearxx Greek gods can "rule or control" more than one thing but war is chaos in a way Athena is the goddess of war and before you say but Ares is the god of war yes but gods can share in the greek myths but Athena is strategy part of war she does not want to fight if their a better option but Ares will kill and fight for fun and well.. blood and guts everywhere so I say that s chaos in a way and yes I saw you know the true chaos Eris but I did not read it until now and I am not wasting this wall of text!!

Ya but it's related to chaos cuz I watched the movie Sinbad and the Seven... I forgot but Ares called herself the god of chaos.

Ares is the war God and Eris was basically his right hand man(goddess) since she was the goddess of chaos.

@xxgolden bearxx Actually, he said Eris, not Ares. Eris is a goddess of chaos.

@xxgolden bearxx also ares is a guy it says "goddess of chaos"


I  think  you  are  completely  right  I  love  greek mothology I  can't  believe  I  have  never  seen  it


But, I thought Selene was the Goddess of the moon?


Discord isnt the only non-pony with magic, the changeling? also im pretty sure you pronounce Chimera, Kimera.


Dragons also comes from the Vikings mythologi (and don't forget the japanese and chines mythologi). But dragons has always been a mythologi through ages.
Good thougt btw!!

Aaaaaaahhhh!!!! I love the princess bride!!!!! (Literally all I got out of that 😂)


Will there be also kelpie, longma, hippalectryon, sleipnir and uchchaihshravas in MLP?


Cerberus is my favorite thing from Greek mythology


you should do more on this because I thought I was the only one who thought of this


I don’t think the ponies are Demi gods just seems far fetched maybe Lauren got inspiration from Greek mythology


You left out the Sirens, who also come from Greek Mythology


I thought that discord created them. In the episode, School Raze, Twilight uses all the magic from the creatures. Every creature becomes a normal animal : panda, lion, dogs, snake, tiger, goat, wasp, chicken, snake, and lobsters. Maybe when discord turned those normal creatures into stone,  they became those CRAZY animals.


Wait that eye animation is the same as Mowgli's in Jungle Book when the creepy snake  hypnotizes him.


Who else got the joke about the princess bride? XD


the eye animation is the same as the animation from the jungle book when Ka hypnotizes Mogly


Because we're gunna have apple pie with a side of fillie fillet

YA DON'T SAY!

Because we're gunna have apple pie with a side of fillie fillet

*YA DON'T SAY!*


The storm King would be Zeus also Tempest could be Zeus partly because she shoots lightning bolts out of her horn.


You know in greek mythilogy. Gods cant mate with not-gods. But in mlp an alicorn can mate with a normal pony. Soo they are gods or not?


The snake hypnosis eyes are from The Jungle Book. I don't know if this was the first film to use that animation seeing that I'm only 13, but lots of other animations use the same thing for snakes.


i really hope they incorporate norse mythology in mlp


I LOVE GREEK MYLOLAGY AND I TOTALLY AGREE WITH WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!!!!!


I just shattered your theory by saying "What about Zecora?"


Maybe the Greek god theory also touches down on why the other creatures don't have cutie marks either?


I THINK YOUR THEORY IS PERFECT!! WOULD MAKE SO MUCH SENCE!


Unicorns, pegasi, aliciorns, and dragons with wings. Tho i hope they are all real... there are so many galaxies, so its possible!


Oh my gods. THIS ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE! PERCY JACKSON AND GREEK MYTHOLOGY FANS UNITE!


I forgot the Greek goddess of wisdom but I think that would be twilight.


watching this in 2021 makes me wonder why we all didn't connect the lines sooner XD


Those hypnotic eyes. I thought you was going to refer to Kaa from "The Junglebook" but no. Discord. You referd to Discord.


1:22 it is  also  a  jungle  book  reference  to  the python


I believe Discord would be Typhoon. Typhoon is chaotic and the husband of Echnida.


When Celestia turned Twilight into an Alicorn, she was made into a goddess. This is a reference to Zeus, the King of the Greek gods, turned his son, Heracles into a god. When Twilight & Flash Sentry fell in love with one another. It is a reference to Heracles (as I mentioned earlier) falling in love with his half-sister, Hebe, the goddess of youth.


I think that your theory makes sense @The Brony Notion .But who would Twilight Sparkle be since she's an alicorn ?Would she be Hecate goddess of magic It would only make sense because of her Cutie Mark.<br>


what about Canterlot Castle? it looks a lot like Mt. Olympus


I think your right about ponies being demigods!


I love your Theory
but what is Twilight the god of?
Is there a greek god of Freindship?
So Discoed created that monster


Even the snakes eyes is actually related to another snake from The Jungle Book


Greek mythology in mlp then we need the 3 brother gods water,dead,lightning


The goddess Kali is a bit like Celestia because she is the goddess of time (kinda like Celestia and luna cause they change time of day), change ( discord can change himself into differint things and discord had partly changed to good ), and destruction (Tirek did destruction),


Actually the animators used the hypno eyes from jungle book


Wow.. I thought MLP was a LOT less involved in this stuff...


You forgot about Cerberus the three headed dog who guards Tartarus!!!!!😶


i think the writers of mlp take stuff from books they read and turn them into episodes/characters


1:30 the python uses it in jungle book too.


i think the weird lion goat and snake creature was made by Zecora because look at the start of the video when you can see the creature has yellow eyes and that Zecora when we first see her has yellow spiked eyes when see wears a cloak the eyes are similar. hope you all agree. it is just a thought|therory😊


Because Greek mythology is the best. They had the coolest monsters, the coolest civilization, and they left a lasting mark on western society. Whereas Roman and Egyptian mythology was largely forgotten. (Unless you're Rick Riordan, that is...)<br>MLP is definitely inspired by Greek mythos, but it's not a copy and paste, if you know what I mean.

Arent the hypnotizing eyes of the snake a refence to the jungle book too?


sure, u might be on to something with the god stuff, but i don't think Discord created the chimera or any other greek mythology beings in Equestria. That would mean he created the unicorns and pegasus as well, so...


you didn't say ant thing about Tirek. his form of magic is parasitic but wouldn't it still count? if it does then the being he would symbolize would make sense being the titan king' cronus


Fun fact in greek myth the goat breaths fire unlike the animation at the start were the lion is seem breathing fire


I see it from the return of harmony or whatever it's called discord used his hypno eyes and made twilights friends the opposite of there self how did I not see that from the episode 🤓


Omgosh that would be so so so awesome I love mlp and Greek mythology if those two collided my mind would be BLOWN!!!!!!!!!!<br>


dranuquises are in greek methalegy by having many things in common


WOW I did not see that coming<br>I knew that the monsters were from greece mythologie but not the ponys

WOW I did not see that coming
I knew that the monsters were from greece mythologie but not the ponys


I though there where  a lot of Greek mythologies in thing that's another reason why I like this this series. (I read percy Jackson and the olmpians )


Wait so that means alicorns are gods, and draconicai are gods.. that means twi became a LITERAL GOD!


Alicorns: Minor gods or descendants of Posiedon, god of the sea, the earth shaker and father or horses and Hecate goddess of magic and crossroads
Earth ponies: distant (more distant then Alicorns) descendants Posideon who enharate the earth shaker part of Posiedon
Pegasi: Clearly descendants of Zeus god of the skies, weather, and lightning
Unicorns: distant descendants of Hecate and Posiedon. (even more distant then Earth ponies) and probably Athena goddess of crafts, wisdom, and war.
Cerberus: Sibling of the Chimera and child of Echidna and Typhon and he gaurds the entrance of the Underworld.
Tartarus: The Ancient Greek hell.

Pegasus, the first Pegasus that is, was born when Poseidon had an affair with Medusa in Athena's temple, cause they have a rivalry and stuff. long story short, Medusa was turned into a hideous snake like beast, because Athena's sacred animal is a snake ( and an owl don't get me wrong it's just everyone forgets about the snake) when Perseus decapitated her Pegasus and his brother ( who I always forget the name of: he gets really mad because people forget his name, he's that pirate that's crew got turned into dolphins by Diyonices can't spell:-( ring any bells?) all pegasie are decent of the first and only Pegasus! I'm a nerd deal with it!!!


This just in: Pegasisters left unsurprisingly by link to Greek mythology


Of the "the-princesses-are-greek-gods" thing is real is have to say that I think twilight would either be  Hecate, goddess of magic, or Philotes, goddess of friendship.


alot of the ponys could be mythical greek gods


Well, Mane-iac has a hair style similar to Medusa's, right?


The pony with wing shoe is not mercury ( if i spelled it right... ) bc my teacher said mercury was a greek god that had wing shoe and deliver messages bc he is really fast....


I know it's a little strange, but I was thinking if Discord created them, then  who has created all other creatures in Equestria?


What about freaking CERBERUS? I love your vid, but how did you forget him?


in the book Hurcules there's a hydra when you chop it's head of it grows back


Now I understand that everything from series  is just Greek mythology.


And no, Celestia would be the Queen of them, like Zues, I said this in another one of the videos, Celestia is a frod, but there is another pony that raises the sun, but Celestia gets all the credit, or could the real one that raises the sun could have clue to the shadow pony? I didn't mention the shadow pony in it, but it is an option, after all, the shadow pony has golden eyes, and it's angry at Celestia for not mentioning him/her. And that's why it's a shadow, it's following ponies to find Celestia and possibly, kill her! I'm not sure if I'm right, but it adds up, maybe my ideas from all the comments will add up in seoson 5. I hope they do, because I'm throughing my summer away typing these comments on a lagging kindle!

No!Celestia would be Apollo or Helios because she prefer the Sun like Helios!


I wish that creator of My little pony will add greek gods and greek mythology adventure in this cartoon


Maybe discord created them and many others to help him when he wanted to defend celestia


since draqonequuseses or whatever are part pony then this makes sense even more


Ares is the god of War. Discord would be like a male version of Eris, the <b>goddess</b> of chaos (thus the gender bend) but since Chaos is well, Chaos, I assume genders don't matter

Ares is the god of War. Discord would be like a male version of Eris, the *goddess* of chaos (thus the gender bend) but since Chaos is well, Chaos, I assume genders don't matter


It looks more like a tiger, not a lion, so that's another way they changed it.


The hypnosis eye animation is also like that in the jungle book. The snake did the animation in both... See any connections? Start a reply train!


Twilight: Hecate, Greek goddess of Magic.🦄


But tirek possibly has magic and that is how he took other people's magic<br>


Knock, knock! Any one home? That hypno animation was also used in "The Jungle Book".


Not be surprised if my little pony is based on Greek mythology because the goddess of Chaos was Eris and she could also hipnotise people to speard chaos and discord does the same


When did that with the fire swamp happened?<br>Did I miss something o.O

When did that with the fire swamp happened?
Did I miss something o.O


What does the prince's bride have to do with this? Even though that environment reminded me of the prince's bride the fire swamp

True, but I think the sign in the eyes is the same because Discord made them IS'NT. If you looked really close you can see the word.......SUN!


it's tartar-rus, like tartar sauce with a rus at the end. Pronounced like in percy jackson


Also Canterlot is on a big mountain, like Olympos


i love greek mythology and this is my savior


It’s just the hypnotic magic I guess, I mean the snake and discord used hypnotic...


I think twilight would be Hecate goddess of magic because she has a lot of magic and friendship IS magic


so if cadence is venus(aphrodite) then that would make sense why cadence married shining armor . aphrodite had many relations w/ demi gods


True... but it's also used in a variety of different cartoons

Brony discord is a twisted version of a draconacus (head=lion,tail=snake,ears=ostrich feathers,body=dragon)a creature from Greek mythology!!!🦁🐍🐦.      😋🦄😋


I love Greek mythology ! OK call me a nerd I mean I'm not a nerd but I just love it I think it's so cool and in my ELA class with my teacher Miss Maccini at Kiley middle school we are talking about Greek mythology a lot and I'm always mentioning that my little pony has a lot on Greek mythology things but one question if Alcorns are gods and goddesses where does twilight fit in I don't believe there's and God or Goddess of friendship the closest thing is Aphrodite goddess of love that also known as friendship (but like you said Cadence would be Aphrodite)


But apparently in the Tales of Equestria, (a mylittlepony RPG ) they stole a few stuff from dungeons & dragons? Idk


The hypnotising eyes r the same as the jungle book as well


That's a cool theory. Don't think it's gonna be official, but it's nice.


•It’s pronounce Ki-mare-Uh not -Chi-mare-Uh
•And I know this is five years ago but it actually does breathe fire :)
Also it’s Ser-ber-us for Cerberus not Seb-er-us


well since discord is star swirl the bearded he's a pony so he would have magic


But what about the other 8 Olympians? Maybe there are more alicorn's or the other magic was distributed between the Demi-ponies or something


The snake also looks like The  Jungle Book snake and the Badlands sounds like The Lion King.


u have a very good theory going on!😀 try to find a way to contact Loren Faust about this😄


dood. you just blew my mind with this one...


If you watched The Jungle Book the snake that hypnotized Mowgli had the same eye animation.


wyverns i MLP with my own back story lets begin: Once long ago wyverns and dragons were at war all of them died except two King Wycornius and Queen Cirian they ran into a land far away hoping to make wyverns rule again. thats all i got but reply your ideas


and I agree with the whole alicorns are gods and ponies are demigods


That last part was very interesting. Maybe it isn't exactly like that but perhaps you really are on to something...


Did you notice in mlp the weird lion goat back snake tail thing has a tiger instead of a lion.


I never thought of that. That is genius.


What but Ardimas is the goddess of archery though


discord has magic cuz hes an alicorn, duh- cuz in twilight's kingdom he has a horn when he looks like a pony, but he should have a horn and wings cuz discord has wings


Pronounced Kim-er-a on Chi-m-e-ra. Well if you want it that way no problem.


Why is is that all his theory videos make so much sense?


I don't think they are gods but the idea came from Greek gods


I think the alicorns being goddesses Celestia being Aurora the goddess of dawn and Luna the goddess of moon and Cadence being the goddess of love . ♥♥♥♦♦♦♠♠♠


'chimera' is pronounced 'kīˈmirə' or for people like me; kie(like pie)-meer(like neer)-uh


What about a kelpie? A loch Ness like monster? Or what about a Troll


Maybe Twilight refers to Pandora.  The box she opens with her friends  .


You know notion I thought the snake's eyes were from the disney's jungle book and that snake kaa.


The eye animation of the snake is also from jungle book


Would Twilight be like Dionysos Because she was turned in to an Alicorn(God)?


YES! I've been wating for this moment! GREEK MYTHOLOGY REFERENCE! Man that feels good to say! Woo! (Doesn't it feel good to be gangster song plays) Ya!


You forgot about the Sirens (Rainbow rocks )


Discord (or Eris) would be Chaos herself, of course!


“I think it was created by discord”<br>Nah, it’s grogar

“I think it was created by discord”
Nah, it’s grogar


I love mythology and the movie the princess bride


<br>I love Greek mythology I have read the whole Percy Jackson series and I'm only nine years old


That princess and the bride referenceeeeeeee


So if the alicorns are gods then what God would twilight sparkle be?
