Zeus vs. Salmoneus: When Playing God Goes Terribly Wrong! #history #shortvideo #new #shortsfeed
Salmoneus founded a city in Elis and proclaimed himself a god. He mimicked Zeus by attaching bronze kettles to his chariot, creating thunder effects in the streets, and spewing fire. He demanded sacrifices from the people, insisting they recognize his divine status. His audacity knew no bounds, as he even dared to host grand ceremonies in his honor, filling the city with false reverence. The people, swayed by his charisma and spectacle, began to worship him blindly. Zeus, witnessing this hubris, grew furious at such insolence. He struck Salmoneus down with a real lightning bolt and destroyed his city. The tale vividly illustrates the dire consequences of challenging gods, serving as a cautio...

The Man Killed & Sent to Tartarus for Trying to Become Zeus
Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. In today’s video, we’re going to discuss Salmoneus, a man cursed and condemned by the gods and a man of impressive lineage.
His sin was hubris and his crime was scorning the gods. He honored himself in their stead and tried to deify himself by impersonating Zeus, going so far as to toss torches and drag around pots to simulate lightning and thunder. His fate was that of the buzzing pest that annoys someone to the point of being swatted, Zeus striking him down with a thunderbolt and sending him down to Tartarus.
He was only a few generations removed from the first man and the first woman, and the grandson of Hellen - not Helen of Troy but the son of Deucalion - from whom the tribes of ancient Greece claimed ancestry. Exploring this later on ...

The Man Killed & Sent to Tartarus for Trying to Become Zeus

Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. In today’s video, we’re going to discuss Salmoneus, a man cursed and condemned by the gods and a man of impressive lineage.
His sin was hubris and his crime was scorning the gods. He honored himself in their stead and tried to deify himself by impersonating Zeus, going so far as to toss torches and drag around pots to simulate lightning and thunder. His fate was that of the buzzing pest that annoys someone to the point of being swatted, Zeus striking him down with a thunderbolt and sending him down to Tartarus.
He was only a few generations removed from the first man and the first woman, and the grandson of Hellen - not Helen of Troy but the son of Deucalion - from whom the tribes of ancient Greece claimed ancestry. Exploring this later on will take us from the first Titan-born humans and the time of the great flood to the tragic death of the hero Jason.
Alright, let’s get into it.
In Greek mythology there are three crimes considered especially egregious, swift and severe justice meted out to those who perpetrate them. These three crimes are: (1) violating the sanctity of hospitality, pertaining to which the murder of a guest, or guests, is the most flagrant and least forgivable, (2) the murder of one’s own kin - the closer the relation, the harsher the condemnation - and (3) hubris against the gods. This last was Salmoneus’ offense. He thought himself a god. He dedicated the sacrifices and libations that should have gone to the gods to himself, and he even went so far as to impersonate Zeus, tossing torches and dragging around clanging metal to emulate the fire and flash of lightning and the booming rumble of thunder. As you no doubt have already guessed, this didn’t sit well with Zeus and didn’t end well for Salmoneus, who was struck down with a thunderbolt and cast down to the abyss of Tartarus, a place beneath the earth not unlike a mirrored reflection of the sky, the great chasm below instead of the great vault above, a place reserved for those who defied the gods, be they immortal, such as the titans, or the worst of the mortal sinners, to whose infamous ranks Salmoneus' was imminently destined.
