Greek Mythology – Matteo Lane & Nick Smith – I Never Liked You 69
Greek Mythology (and the Rosetta Stone)
We talk about Greek gods, mythological chaos, and why some of it still kinda holds up. Plus: Nick had no idea what the Rosetta Stone was — and we had to take a moment.
Tickets to Nick’s next show May 21st!

Ok, I just found this video; I really really NEED to know that this is staged comedy. You cannot go through life without picking at least 3/4th on these informations passively.

It drives me insane that if Nick doesn't know something he gets yelled at for being an idiot but when Matteo doesn't know something (like the Odyssey?? Weren't we all taught that in school??) it's just shrug hmm let's learn about it. This happens in nearly every single episode I swear to God I feel like I am losing my mind watching it.

I absoulty hate how neither of them know.how to carry a real conversation, keep interrupting each other, and cant be serious. Instead keep talking in circles and not accomplishing anything.

Cupid is Roman mythology. Alot of people get Roman and Greek mythology mixed up.

Dang Matteo is pretty hard on Nick for not knowing this stuff. They don't teach it in school, or they didn't when I was in school, so except for bits here and there that you pick up just living life most of this isn't something you would know unless you made a point to read up on it. Most movies you watch change a lot so that's not reliable. Matteo is just as clueless for the most part but acted like Nick is stupid for having questions. I love their debates but you don't have to be so high and mighty. Love them both though.

There’s an old theory that all the ancient myths were based on real people or tribes. Scholars stopped believing it decades ago, but pop historians keep it in circulation. It also shows up in some of the early 20th century books on Greek and Roman religion that are still in use. That’s where Nick got the Hercules idea from.

Matteo gently leading Nick through the thinking process to arrive at the COMPLETELY WRONG DATE FOR ANCIENT GREECE is making me tear my hair out.

I love Greek Mythology. My classics professor in college told us everything is true except for the stories themselves

I'd love to see these two on Jeopardy!, although I think Matteo would do better.

They DO teach Greek mythology in school in Greece today. They also teach them ancient Greek language

This was an unhinged dumpster fire from start to finish, and I'm here for it.
Asteria you could say would be your space goddess, Nick. Philoctetes was a faun in the movie, an actual friend of Heracles and his trainer in real mythology. Not a faun, tho.
There is mythology before the Greeks, like the sumerian, for example. Judaism was around the same time as Hellenism, classified as a Abrahamic faith, but not Christianity.
Also, Jesus is Christian mythology.

I actually think Nick is correct in a way, remember that to ancient Greeks they would have believed in Herackles the same way we think of Jesus now. To them he was a really person, and we can't disprove that it wasn't based on a guy from 4000 years ago.

This episode is hilarious as someone who was a vary curious (autistic) child and spent a lot of time studying many of these things on my own. From both Matteo’s and nick’s points of view. Cause nick is clueless, but asking some awesome question that gets him close to the answer in some cases. And Matteo has a solid baseline understanding but amid nick’s chaos is floundering and for both guys I just wanna sit there and give them a lesson and unravel all the confuse

It was infuriating to watch Matteo acknowledge that Jesus could be a real person who was later mythologised but can’t fathom that the possibility that the same thing happened with Hercules

lots of French too, anything with "-ment" or "-tion" or "sion" at the end of it. Thats a lot of words

“Why would I wonder why a computer program is called that?”
My guy, you just said wondering why it’s called a “wall” is valid!

Nick cracks me up with how stubborn he is with his absolutely incorrect answers. 🤣

Nick has such a child-like wonder. It's like re-educating a survivor of a cult. Deprogram the ignorance. 😛
@KristinaJHlavac
October 5, 2025 at 11:21 am
I think Matteo jumps to answer questions without fully letting Nick think through (and I think Nick has to think out loud) his question.

I am a huge myth nerd and would love to set y’all straight. I will answer every question you throw at me, to the best of my knowledge. And if I don’t know for sure, I have a ton of reference books.

I’m with Nick we obviously had statues of like Apollo and shit Greek people did actually worship those gods. It’s confusing.

This hurts my head , seeing them argue about Greek gods lol
@alli457
October 5, 2025 at 11:21 am
We definitely had a unit on Greek mythology both in like 4th grade and in high school, but maybe that's just because I'm in the generation that grew up reading the Percy Jackson books

There are numerous religions that predate Greek Mythology by thousands of years! FOR FUCK SAKE!!!

For sake of argument, let's say teh Bible is real. They may be Orthodox now, but the apostles went through Greece and Rome to teach Jesus and Christianity (as like the church of Christ).
