1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,600

Georgians Slimy Stuarts, vile
Victorians

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,000

Dingy castles, daring knights

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,800

Cut-throat Celts, awful Egyptians

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,200

Punishment from ancient times

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,040

Cavemen savage, fierce and toothless

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,040

Mean and measly Middle Ages

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,760


8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,280


9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,240


10
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:27,720


11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,640


12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,360
Horrible Histories presents...

13
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:39,320
Greetings, mortals!

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,960
I am Raticles!
HE FARTS

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,840
The little-known ancient Greek god
of rats and public toilets.

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,240
TOILET FLUSHES
Ha, ha, ha, ha. Over 2,000 years
ago,

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,960
the ancient Greeks
believed that gods ruled

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,560
over them from a mountain
called Olympus.

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,560
And they told tales of these gods

20
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,960
in stories called "myths".

21
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:04,200
And let me tell you,
these stories were bananas!

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,080
So if you like the sound of
a woman with snakes for hair

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,880
or a god who hurls thunderbolts,

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,800
then buckle up and enjoy the ride.

25
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,200
You know, there's even a barmy story
about how the Greek gods came

26
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,520
about in the first place.

27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,160
Phew! And that's the
actual Mount Olympus,

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,480
where we believe the
Olympian gods live.

29
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,440
Ohhhh! The gods are so boring, Dad.

30
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,280
"Boring"?! These stories
tell us everything!

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,600
Where we came from, how the world
works, how we should live.

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,320
Ugh. Where would your yo-yo
be without Dionysius,

33
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:38,840
the god of games, huh?

34
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,400
Even the sky is a god!
SKY GOD BURPS

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,760
OK, if the gods are in charge
of everything, who made the gods?

36
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,880
Well, I'm glad you asked,
because I'm going to tell you

37
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,320
how we believe this
whole world began.

38
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,080

just a thing called Chaos

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,080


40
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,640

as some would call her

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,240


42
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:10,280


43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,720

Hemera of the day, yah

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,080

forming to prepare for our birth

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,960


46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,280


47
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,720

Titans

48
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,160


49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,040


50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,040


51
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,960


52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,960


53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,280


54
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,360


55
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,160
Hang on. Uranus?

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,640
I thought Zeus was
the god in charge.

57
00:02:57,640 --> 00:02:59,600
He is! But before him it was Uranus.

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,280
Then one of Uranus' kids,
the titan Cronus,

59
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,400
cut off his dad's
dangly bits and took over.

60
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,360
URANUS YELLS
Chronos then had kids

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,160
who were the gods, including Zeus,

62
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,880
but Cronus was worried those kids

63
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,160
would take over from him,

64
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,840
so he decided to eat them all.

65
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,760
What kind of story is this?

66
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,320
I know, right? Anyway,
he ate them all apart from Zeus,

67
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,840
who Cronus' wife, Rhea, managed
to secretly switch with a rock.

68
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,720
Wow, it's actually getting weirder!
It really is.

69
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,520
Then when Zeus was grown up, he came
back and made his dad vomit up

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,960
all his brothers and sisters.
Bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh.

71
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,760
So Cronus had to fight all his kids,

72
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,240
you know, the Olympian gods Hera,
Hades, Poseidon, etc.

73
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,560
The kids won and Zeus took over.
Bang!

74
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,120
Are all the stories
about the gods this bonkers?

75
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,840
Um, yeah. Pretty much.

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Great! Tell me some more!

77
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,960
There's a new family at
the top of the mountain,

78
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,000
the Olympian gods!
APPLAUSE

79
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,400
Fall in love with Hera,
goddess of marriage.

80
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,200
And kicking up a storm,

81
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,840
it's the mighty Zeus, god of thunder

82
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,080
and king of the gods.

83
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,240
Zeus, did you put a lightning
storm in the garden?

84
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,040
What makes you think it was me?

85
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,680
THUNDER
What's the big deal?

86
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,720
It's not like I hit anyone
with lightning...

87
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,520
..this time!

88
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,520
SHOUTING
Ooh. Sorry!

89
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,960
Warming our hearts,

90
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,000
it's Hestia,
goddess of the fireplace.

91
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,760
And ploughing in is Demeter, goddess

92
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,160
of the seasons and the harvest.
APPLAUSE

93
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,760
Can you make it summer
all year round

94
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960
so we don't have to
bother with fires?

95
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,840
I could, but then when
would we plant the crops?

96
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:37,520
And you know I love my food.

97
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,120
Mama like.

98
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,440
OK.

99
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,280
Making a splash, it's Poseidon,
God of the ocean.

100
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:47,400
APPLAUSE
And he's a bit of a downer,

101
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,160
it's Hades, god of the underworld.

102
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,360
Why do I have to live
in the underworld?

103
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,880
Well, you are the god
of the underworld. Ma, ha!

104
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,680
Why couldn't I have been
god of the cake shop?

105
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,120
Now the gods are here,

106
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,880
Ancient Greece is about to become
a whole lot more interesting.

107
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,280
Listen, guys, shouldn't we use our
powers to HELP the people of Greece?

108
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,680
Eh.

109
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,120
Or we could just keep messing
with them. Yes, please!

110
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,120
SHOUTING
Sorry, dude!

111
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,360
The Olympian Gods!

112
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,240
Heaven knows what these guys
are going to get up to next.

113
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,320
APPLAUSE

114
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,520
Most Greek myths are either
about the gods or the stuff

115
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,120
they got up to when they were
toying with the human mortals

116
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,600
below on Earth.

117
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,640
Sometimes the mortals would go
on epic adventures

118
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,680
where they faced terrible
ordeals designed by the gods.

119
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,680
These brave people were called
"heroes"

120
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,120
and it's fair to say

121
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,560
that many of their stories
are not exactly bedtime

122
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,320
story material. I might hide behind
the sofa for this one. Mm-mm.

123
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,320
It's nearly bedtime
here at YeBeebies,

124
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,160
So for all of you little heroes
heading off

125
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,600
to adventures in dreamland, we've
got a special guest

126
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,280
who's going to share some

127
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:16,160
amazing stories about his family,
the Greek gods.

128
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,120
Hello, Mr Zeus!

129
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,440
It's actually King Zeus, but fine.

130
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,840
Hello, children! Would you like to

131
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,720
hear some stories about animals?

132
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,960
Oh, yes, please! We love animals.

133
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,840
Once upon a time, there was a
giant called Argus

134
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:34,400
with 100 eyes.

135
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,240
And he was guarding the
most beautiful cow, Io.

136
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,720
Cows go, "Moo!"
COW MOOS

137
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,480
Well, this cow was
secretly my girlfriend.

138
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,640
COW MOOS
What? So, one day,

139
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,320
I went to one of my sons,
the god Hermes,

140
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,640
to put Argus to sleep and kill him

141
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,760
with a big rock.

142
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,440
CRASH, SHOUTING
Now the giant's eyes

143
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,280
decorate the peacock's tail.

144
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:59,080
Um, peacocks go, "Ahh, ahh."
BIRD CAWS

145
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,440
Well, happy times.

146
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,920
I was now free to run
off with Io the cow.

147
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,160
OK! How about a different story?

148
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,200
Ah, here's one about my daughter,
the goddess Artemis.

149
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,640
She was bathing in a river
when a hunter saw her in the nuddy.

150
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,600
She was so angry, she
turned him into a deer,

151
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,320
and the hunter's own dogs...
DOG BARKS

152
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,640
..tore him to shreds.

153
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,240
Dogs go, "Woof, woof."

154
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,560
It was more like, "Ra, ra, ra,
ra, ra! Ahhhhhh! No, noooo!"

155
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,600
OK! OK. Sort of the pack of them.

156
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,120
Have you got a nicer story?

157
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,480
Maybe one about a brave Greek hero!

158
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,000
I've got just the one.

159
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,480
The tale of
Theseus And The Minotaur.

160
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,080
A monster that's half-man,
half-bull.

161
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,880
BULL BELLOWS
Once upon a time...

162
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,240
Oh, that's more like it.

163
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,280
..there was a monster
eating children.

164
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,800
I've actually got some pictures
here. Oh, no, no, no.

165
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,600
Have you got anything in there
that's suitable for children?

166
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,040
Let me have a look.

167
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,320
Ate his children...smashed by
rocks...monster, monster, monster...

168
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,960
Oh, yeah.

169
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,160
Icarus, yeah.

170
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,160
His dad made him some
wings out of wax and feathers.

171
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,720
Ooh, and did he go on a lovely
adventure with his new friends,

172
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,680
the seagulls? Initially,

173
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,120
then he flew too close to the sun,
and the wax melted,

174
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,480
and he crashed into the sea
and drowned horribly.

175
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,920
SPLASH, SEAGULL CAWS
Bluh! Bu-luh, bu-luh, bu-luh.

176
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,400
Ha, ha, ha. OK, a-and that's
all we have for today.

177
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,640
Goodnight, children. Sleep well.

178
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,040
And, remember, monsters aren't real.

179
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,760
Oh, they are.

180
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:25,840
Very real.

181
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,240
Hi, I'm the Greek hero Herakles,

182
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,920
or as the Romans called me,
Hercules.

183
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,080
YELP
Bull's-eye!

184
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,440
They're always bull's-eyes.

185
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,920
I'm a demigod.

186
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,800
Being a demigod means
that I was the son of a mortal,

187
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,240
my mum Alcmene, and the son
of a god, my dad Zeus.

188
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,680
Butt out, Dad! This is my story.

189
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:53,040
Sorry, Son!
Mum wasn't married to Zeus.

190
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,160
He already had a wife called Hera.

191
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,120
Hera was so angry when she
found out that I was Zeus' son

192
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,880
that she got King Eurystheus
to give me ten impossible tasks

193
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,440
called Labours.

194
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,720
She hoped that one of
them would kill me.

195
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,720
Instead, I aced the lot
and became a legend.

196
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,400
The king even gave
me two extra tasks

197
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,200
because he said
I cheated.

198
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,960
So which of these was one of

199
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,160
the 12 Labours of Herakles?

200
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,600
Did I have to...

201
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,960
BIRD CAWS
Ow!

202
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,960
DOG BARKS

203
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,760
COW MOOS

204
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,080
And the answer is...

205
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,480
..all three.

206
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,920
Yep. I even have to muck out the
huge stables belonging to King
Augeas.

207
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,760
COWS MOO AND FART
Ugh! And they haven't been cleaned

208
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,080
for 30 years!
COW FARTS

209
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,280
You know what?
There's piles of this stuff.

210
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,520
It'd be quicker to just divert
a river through the whole building

211
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,800
and wash it all away.

212
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,040
Actually, I might just do that.

213
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,960
Whoop!

214
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,360
Ohhh. That's disgusting.

215
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,040
OK, guys. Listen up.

216
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,160
Hi, I'm Jason.

217
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,560
OTHERS: Hi, Jason.

218
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:08,880
Herakles, looking strong. Oh,
thanks.

219
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,840
Orpheus, looking dashing. Likewise.

220
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,560
And Atalanta. Oh, divine. I know.

221
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,200
I, too, am feeling very well,

222
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,640
in case anyone was wondering.
Thanks, Castor.

223
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,280
And thank you all for agreeing
to help me to my rightful place

224
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,600
on the throne of Thessaly.

225
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,040
The plan is simply to sail
from Greece to Colchis

226
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,960
to find the Golden Fleece.
SHEEP BAAS

227
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,440
The Golden Fleece.
Oh, so much talking!

228
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,080
Can we not just go and get
the stupid rug and come back?

229
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,360
Thanks, Atalanta.
There's just one or two things

230
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,000
I want to prepare my Argonauts for.

231
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,640
What's an Argonaut?
Yeah, is that like a peanut?

232
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,320
Because I'm allergic, you know. No.

233
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,640
Our ship is called the Argo.

234
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,840
Therefore, you guys
are the Argonauts.

235
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,120
Mm-mm. There she is.

236
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,920
Lucky the ship wasn't called Coco.
HERAKLES CHUCKLES

237
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:51,960
Coconuts.

238
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,280
QUIETLY: Just forget it.

239
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,440
OK, first stop... Yeah.
..is the island of Lemnos.

240
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,240
Lemnos. That's an island
populated by single women.

241
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,640
Oh, yeah! All right, yeah. Come on!

242
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,200
They're single because the goddess
Aphrodite cursed them all!

243
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,480
I knew it was too good to be true.

244
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,880
And they all killed their lovers.
That an optional stop?

245
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,840
After that, we'll stop at Bear
Mountain, where there are giants

246
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,200
with six arms called the Gegenees.
Gegenees! There he is.

247
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,720
Sure that's not just three people

248
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:15,960
standing behind each other?

249
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,480
We'll also be stopping off

250
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,160
in Thrace, where it'll all be

251
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,720
parties, parties, parties.
CROWD CHEERS

252
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,840
And Harpies.

253
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,760
Wait, what was that last one?
Harpies.

254
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,680
CASTOR CAWS
They're half-women, half-birds,

255
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:28,760
with big old bird claws.

256
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,800
They're extremely violent.
CASTOR CAWS

257
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,040
It still seems like a
lot of work for a rug.

258
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,240
So after the massive rocks
that smash ships to pieces

259
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,520
is when things get tricky.

260
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Oh, right. That's when
things get tricky, is it?

261
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,120
Oh, yes. We'll be facing
fire-breathing cows...

262
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,320
Hang on.

263
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,840
I'm taking notes. OK.

264
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,080
And also the dragon
that never sleeps.

265
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,920
How do we deal
with the dragon?

266
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,040
The plan is to
put it to sleep.

267
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:53,840
So we put the
sleepless dragon...to sleep.

268
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,480
I didn't say it was a good plan.

269
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,280
Once we've got the Golden Fleece,
it's a simple journey, back

270
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,560
past the deadly sirens to Thessaly,
where my uncle will make me king.

271
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:04,200
CRASH
That's your idea of simple,

272
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,040
is it? Yeah, seems pretty doable.
Sir, you're forgetting to tell them

273
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,840
about the Talos. The what now?

274
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,640
It's a big metal man hurling
boulders and doing this...

275
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,400
No, no, no, no. It's still
too much work for a rug!

276
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,720
Look, they sell the same
ones down the market.

277
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,040
I've seen them. Right, new plan.
Let's go to the market.

278
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,520
Do any of you have any money?

279
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,160
Noooo! Fine! I'll go with Jason.

280
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,400
And the Argonauts!

281
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,160
Oh, Argo-NAUTS.

282
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,880
Right. Come on. Guys, wait for me.

283
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,760
Argonauts, assemble!

284
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,800
Oh, hey, guys. It's me, Zeus.
ZEUS QUACKS

285
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,000
I've transformed myself into a
goose. ZEUS QUACKS

286
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,440
Yeah, Zeusy-goosey, baby! Ha, ha.

287
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,800
The myth said that we gods
could disguise ourselves

288
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,200
by transforming into animals.

289
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,400
And I like nothing better
than a bit of shapeshifting,

290
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,440
especially when I was
trying to romance people

291
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,680
I had a crush on.

292
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:55,880
Zeus-Goose, out.
ZEUS QUACKS

293
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,400
Going on a date can be a
stressful event for anyone,

294
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,280
so imagine what it feels like

295
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,720
to be going on a date with a god.

296
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,480
Let's do this!

297
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,040
Roxi, a nurse from Margate,
has arrived for her first

298
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,280
date with Zeus.

299
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,000
I'll be honest, dating a god

300
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,240
is a step up for me.

301
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,280
I usually date DJs.

302
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,920
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
There's a giant ant on the table.

303
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,120
This is your date.
This is the god, Zeus.

304
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,880
HIGH-PITCHED: Well, hello there.

305
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,560
Uh... Have fun. Thank you. Enjoy.

306
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,440
Yeah, that was me.

307
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,680
I like to make an effort,
dress up for a date.

308
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:37,960
I turned into a cuckoo to woo
the goddess Hera, a half-goat man

309
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,920
for the princess of Antiope,

310
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,320
swan for Leda,
another swan for Nemesis,

311
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,160
and today an ant.

312
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,360
Yeah, chicks dig ants.

313
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,160
I'll be honest.

314
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,160
An ant is a disappointment.

315
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,160
Can you imagine introducing
an ant to your parents?

316
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,360
They were angry
enough about DJ Terry.

317
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,760
Roxi has been to the ladies'
room to text her friend, Sherry.

318
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,000
It's not all she was doing in there.
Aw, that stinks!

319
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,240
You OK? Ambrosia went
right through me.

320
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,080
So sorry, I know the feeling.

321
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,720
Take a seat. Oh, hey, babe.

322
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,760
Oh! Oh! Wait, no!
GASPS

323
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,040
That was your date! That was Zeus!

324
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,920
No! Yes!

325
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,160
I mean, I knew he'd appeared

326
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,600
as a fire to date Asopus
but, still,

327
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,040
you don't expect it!
ROXI SCOFFS

328
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,360
Things are looking up for Roxi,
as Zeus has now transformed himself

329
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,280
into an ancient
Greek shepherd.

330
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,000
So, have you been
married before?

331
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,480
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Seven times,

332
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,560
including to two of my
aunts and two of my sisters.

333
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,120
Oh, and I ate my first wife.

334
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,040
You ate your wife? Uh-huh.

335
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,600
Ooh! I think Zeus has transformed
into a pile of gold.

336
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,440
I think I can work with this.
Ha, ha!

337
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,120
Uh, looks like he's paying.
CHUCKLING: Yes.

338
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,160
CRASH, MOOING

339
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,160
He just turned into
a bull, didn't he?

340
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,440
He did.
MOOING CONTINUES

341
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,240
Honestly, I've been on worse dates.

342
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,680
That's life.

343
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,520
I wonder why Zeus never
chose to turn into a rat.

344
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,200
I have a good mind to have
a word with him about it.

345
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,160
I mean, we can be
symbols of romance, too.

346
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,200
Here, listen. Music, please!
HARP PLAYS

347
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,480


348
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,720

surrounded by...

349
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,360
Yeah, you know what? Forget it.
He was probably right about us.

350
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,200
And besides, it's best
not to bother him.

351
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,000
You don't want to get on the
wrong side of a Greek god.

352
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,640
They had terrible tempers
and the punishments they dished out

353
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,240
were eye-watering.

354
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,680
Arrrrgh! Argh.

355
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,880
Ughhh! Arrrrgh!

356
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,080
Arrrgh... Gaaah!

357
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,760
Ooh, no! Not again!

358
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,200
Arrrgh! Arrrr.

359
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,640
All right? All right.

360
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,440
I'm King Tantalus. Sisyphus.
Aaargh! Yeah, listen.

361
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,640
You couldn't keep the
screaming down, could you?

362
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,120
Oh, sorry about that.

363
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:02,560
It's just the rock's really
heavy and... Arrrrgh! Ooh.

364
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,280
Oh, I can't believe I've got
to do this for eternity.

365
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,840
They said if I pushed a
rock to the top of the hill,

366
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,960
I could live forever!
But I never quite make it.

367
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,320
SISYPHUS SIGHS
What'd you do to deserve that?

368
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,720
Well, I tricked the god of death.

369
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,560
Heh! He tried to tie me up,

370
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,360
but I tied him up instead.
GOD OF DEATH GROWLS

371
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,440
Oh, I remember. Yeah!

372
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,560
No-one died because the god of
death was tied up. Woohoo!

373
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,120
Mm-mm. I was sent to the land
of the dead as punishment.

374
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,640
But I got sent back to
the land of the living,

375
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,880
because I told my wife not
to bury my body properly.

376
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,440
Mm-mm?

377
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,720
Whoa... Gaaah! Why'd you do that?

378
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,720
So they'd send me back to
tell her off. And that worked?

379
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,560
Yep. Lived to a ripe old age.

380
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,840
But Zeus was annoyed

381
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,600
so, as punishment,
he's made me do this.

382
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,320
Yaaah... Yes! I'm going to do it!
KING TANTALUS GASPS

383
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,320
Waaah. Ow, ow. Ow, ow, ow! Gah!

384
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,520
Whoa. Phew!

385
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,160
You're punishment doesn't look bad.

386
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,800
Having a paddle and nibbling fruit?

387
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,520
Oh, yeah? Watch this. Ooh! Oh.

388
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,760
This time? Argh... Oh, no!

389
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,840
That is tantalisingly close!

390
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,320
Yeah, well, actually that's
where the word comes from.

391
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,880
My name is Tantalus.

392
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,520
And there's this.

393
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,600
Ugh!

394
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,080
I haven't drunk
or eaten anything

395
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,360
since I've
been here.

396
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:18,640
Still, could be worse.

397
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,560
Could be King Phlegyas.
All right, Phlegyas? Mm-mm.

398
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,080
Buried in rock and unable
to reach a wonderful feast.

399
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,360
Poor bloke. Yaaargh.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

400
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:30,680
Puh, owww! I'm up for
swapping if he is!

401
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,200
GROANING AND GRUNTING

402
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,320
Hi. I'm Pandora.

403
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,160
Zeus had me moulded from clay

404
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,400
to bring temptation and ruin to men.

405
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,240
The legend says I had a box which,
when opened, would release terrible

406
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,120
suffering into the world.

407
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:51,640
Or at least that's how you might
hear the story told in school.

408
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,160
But in the original story,

409
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,880
there was something different

410
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,600
about Pandora's box.

411
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,800
Was it...

412
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,280
FART

413
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,800
Or C, that the box...

414
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,080
The answer is...

415
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,560
..B, it wasn't a box at all.

416
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,800
It was actually a jar.

417
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,480
The famous 16th-century writer
Erasmus

418
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,840
made a mistake in his translation,

419
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,120
and people have wrongly
called it Pandora's box,

420
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:29,880
instead of Pandora's jar, ever
since. SHE CHUCKLES

421
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,280
Amazing really to think
that all the plagues and evils

422
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,680
in the world could fit
into a little jar like that.

423
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,880
Right. Uh, yeah.

424
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,200
That's...definitely broken. Um...

425
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,440
Run away.

426
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,520
One of the most famous Greek myths
is the story of Troy, the city

427
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,960
that had a ten-year war with Greece
until the legendary king Odysseus

428
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,520
came up with a clever way
of sneaking a Greek army into Troy

429
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,480
just when the Trojans thought
the fighting had finished.

430
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,160


431
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,920


432
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,800


433
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,480

In the moment.

434
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,640
Hey, Deiphobus? Oh, yeah. Hey,
babes.

435
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,000
You know how, like, the Greeks
have gone and the war is over?

436
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,960
I really want to talk
about our relationship.

437
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,040
Basically, I just... I want
to know where your head is at.

438
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,000
Sorry, babe. I'm, like,
super focused

439
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,520
on this massive
wooden horse right now.

440
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,680
OMG, I actually can't
believe you're talking

441
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,200
about horses right now.
This is so not OK.

442
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,200
It's just, like, super weird that,
like, a giant wooden horse turns up,

443
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,040
like, literally the day
after the Greeks leave.

444
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,400
Can we please talk about the
massive elephant in the room?

445
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,960
No way, there's an elephant too?
Wow.

446
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,840
SHE SCOFFS
Bro, she's pouring her heart

447
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,320
out down there.

448
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,400
OK, is it just me or did that
massive wooden horse just speak?

449
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,040
And did it not, like, sound
like the Greek hero, Diomedes?

450
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,640
WHISPERS: Diomedes, you're supposed
to be hiding! Yeah. Sorry, bro.

451
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,720
I'll be quiet. Just shush!

452
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,840
OK. Is the horse now
arguing with itself?

453
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,640
DIOMEDES NEIGHS

454
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,240
It's making horse noises, Deiphobus.

455
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,000
It's a horse. Get over it.

456
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,680
No, no. Like, I hear that.
I hear that.

457
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,800
It's just, like, should a wooden
horse be, like, making any noises,

458
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,720
like, at all?

459
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,000
WHISPERS: This is why
I said to be quiet!

460
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,160
I don't know, Deiphobus!

461
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,360
I'm not, like, a horse expert.

462
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:37,240
I'm just someone trying
to have a convo with her hubby.

463
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,280
No, no, no.
Like, I hear that. I hear that.

464
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,040
But it's just, like, this wooden
horse could be full of, like, enemy

465
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,920
soldiers or something.

466
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,600
And, like, letting
them into the city

467
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,000
would be, like, serious yikes.

468
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,280
You will do anything to avoid
talking about your feelings,

469
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,800
won't you? What's next?

470
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,320
You're going to tell me my ex-hubby

471
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,000
Menelaus is in there too?

472
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,440
Yeah. Hi, hon.
WHISPERS: Sh, guys!

473
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,520
DIOMEDES NEIGHS
Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop.

474
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,840
It's a wooden horse!
It doesn't neigh or clip-clop!

475
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,680
Just... Fingers on lips.

476
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,920
OK, fine.

477
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,920
I'm going to do impressions
of all the Greek captains' wives,

478
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,040
and if they're in there,
they'll have to reply.

479
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,280
That's amazing.
Let's do it.

480
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,280
"Hello, Odysseus.
It's your wife, Penelope.

481
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,640
"How are you in there?" Oh, gee.
Odysseus, your wife's outside.

482
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,040
WHISPERS: Fingers on lips! But I...
It's a trap!

483
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,200
DEIPHOBUS AND HELEN CHUCKLE
Cracking impression, babe.

484
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,680
OK, OK. My go, my go. OK.

485
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,920
I'm going to do Menelaus' wife. OK.

486
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,720
NASALLY: "Um, like, um, eh...
Menelauuus. I am your wiiife,

487
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,280
"like, ah." Hang on.

488
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,560
I was Menelaus' wife. Uh...

489
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,000
That's a really hurtful
impression, actually.

490
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,360
Is that really how you think I
sound?

491
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:47,480
Um... N-No.

492
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,920
It is. It's totally how you sound.

493
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,480
OK, fine.

494
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,920
I'll settle this.

495
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,680
Menelaus, are you hiding in there
with a bunch of Greek soldiers?

496
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,320
Um...

497
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,560
..no.

498
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,800
There! See? OK.
Well, I can't argue with that.

499
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Better take it inside the city
and leave it unguarded all night.

500
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,440
Fine, I'll get him some hay.

501
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,120
See you later, Helen.

502
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:15,480
Gah! I give up.

503
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,760
After the war, Odysseus returned
home on a journey that was described

504
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,360
in an ancient poem called
The Odyssey, written by me,

505
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:27,640
the Greek storyteller, Homer.

506
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,520
CAT MEOWS
Ooh! His trip took ten years

507
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,320
and was filled with terrifying

508
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,520
encounters with mythical beasts
like the siren of the sea, a deadly

509
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,720
creature whose singing
voice no-one could resist.

510
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,600
It's just like me when
I'm singing in the shower.

511
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,760
People can't resist...

512
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,840
..shouting, "Put a cork in it,
Homer. You're scaring the donkey."

513
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,720
DONKEY GRUNTS
Charming!

514
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,560


515
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,440
She was the most enchanting
creature in the sea,

516
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,920
The Little Siren.


517
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:01,920
Half-woman, half...

518
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,320
..bird?

519
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,960
Well, fish would be silly.

520
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,000
Yeah, I guess.

521
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,000

She dreamt of being with people.

522
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,640

Well, being with them

523
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:12,880
while eating them.

524
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,440
When they hear me sing
they can't resist my voice,

525
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,720
so they jump off their boats.
Ha ha!

526
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,680

You sound too beautiful...!

527
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,440
SPLASH
A voice so beguiling,

528
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,320
men would die for it.

529
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,520
Do you do requests? Ah!
SPLASH

530
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,960
Starring Odysseus, the Greek hero

531
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,600
on his way back from the Trojan War.

532
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,400
I, Odysseus, am too strong and
heroic to be tempted by your song.

533
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,440
But I have asked my men to
tie me to my boat just in case.

534
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,480
Men?! Protect your ears.

535
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,520

He's the hero who survived

536
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,080
by being tied to his mast

537
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,160
so he couldn't jump overboard.


538
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,400
And who told his men to
fill their ears with rags

539
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,360
so they didn't heed the siren's
call.

540
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:56,000
Gaaah! The tunes!

541
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,560
They're just so banging!

542
00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,840
I must go to you,

543
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,320
even though I'm married
and you're mostly seagull.

544
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,520
We could make it work!

545
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,280
Also starring legendary hero Jason

546
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,800
and his Argonauts.

547
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,560
Another ship full of Greeks
for my collection. Heh, heh!

548
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,360
But in Jason and one of his
crewmates, she had finally

549
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:15,880
met her musical match.

550
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,200


551
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,920

La, la, la, la, laaa...

552
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,520
Who is that?

553
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,800

Orpheus, keep playing your song.

554
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,680
Orpheus, who the myths say,

555
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,160
with his lyre, drowned her out

556
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,360
with the most beautiful
song in the world.

557
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,200


558
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,360
The Little Siren -
nobody can resist her charms.

559
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:40,720
Except Odysseus,
Jason and Jason's mate Orpheus,

560
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,960
and any other Greek who wanted to
show they could outsmart her,
really.

561
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,960
Whatevs. I don't fancy
Greek for lunch anyway.

562
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,800
The ancient Greeks really did
believe

563
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,000
in all these gods and their myths,

564
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,240
and these stories are still
everywhere you look today.

565
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,520
They're in our books and films,

566
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,560
and they live on in the stars

567
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,560
of the night sky.

568
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,720
Oooh!

569
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,600
Something ancient astronomer Ptolemy

570
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,280
has a little tune about.

571
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,520


572
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,880


573
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,800


574
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,960


575
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:29,360

and screw your eyes up a bit

576
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:36,080


577
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:41,200


578
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,160


579
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:54,200


580
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,440


581
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,840


582
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:07,160


583
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,840
Just think of constellations
like big dot-to-dots, man.

584
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,000
That one's Hercules -

585
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,960
or Herakles, if you're
saying it properly.

586
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,360
There's Cancer, the crab that bit

587
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:17,440
Herakles' foot... Ow!

588
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,640
..Leo, the lion that Herakles
killed,

589
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,200
Triangulum, the...triangle.

590
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,040
Well, they can't
all be great stories.

591
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:27,080


592
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,720


593
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:40,520


594
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,480

we put all the myths

595
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:52,240


596
00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:00,720
I wrote down 48 constellations
in my 150AD book, The Almagest.

597
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,160
Sorry, what does it mean?

598
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,760
Oh, the greatest.

599
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,080
Is that referring to me or the
stars?

600
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,440
You decide.

601
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,360
I think you know the answer.

602
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,600


603
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:18,000


604
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,080

are blown throooough

605
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,760


606
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,880



607
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:39,480
Oh, yeah!


608
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,560
They're half-birds
with big bird claws.

609
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,600
Big bird claws.

610
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,160
They're extremely
violent, vicious

611
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,160
and cru...
CASTOR SNORTS, LAUGHTER

612
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,040
CRASH
Ooh, dear!

613
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,440
LAUGHING: What was that?

614
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,120
It's Zeus!
LAUGHTER

615
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:56,600


616
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:57,840


617
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,680
