For three thousand years, Greek Mythology and the myths of ancient Greece have shaped the world we live in, serving as the inspiration behind countless works of art, literature, film, and music, as well as being one of the very foundations of Western culture.
In this video, we (Deep Dive History) present to you the most comprehensive Greek Mythology documentary ever made: The Entire Story of Greek Mythology, from the very beginning of creation to the Age of Iron, the end of the Mythological story. Not only is the video narrated by the world-class, award-winning voice of British actor David Rintoul, we take you along this grand adventure, with classical paintings, animated maps, 3D rendered models, 4k animated family trees, custom artwork and a musical score to help you get lost in the story.
Every Greek myth is covered, from the birth of the universe out of Chaos, to the rise of the Olympian Gods such as Zeus and Poseidon, to legendary heroes like Heracles and Perseus who defined their age. From Prometheus and the creation of mankind to smaller tales such as Icarus, Europa, Narcissus, Oedipus and Arachne. From the realm of the Greek Gods to Hades and the Underworld – we explore it all.
And let’s not forget Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. We journey to the towering walls of Troy, follow the rage of Achilles, and sail home with Odysseus across a decade of impossible trials.
No myth is left untold. No story is left behind. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the greatest Greek Mythology Documentary ever made.

I love how this goes beyond just the big names like Zeus and Achilles. Exploring the creation myth and the tragedy of characters like Oedipus and Arachne in one place is incredible. This is the ultimate guide to Western mythology…
Magnificent narrating
If any of you guys ever visit dallas stop by the dallas museum of art. It has the original painting you see here of Apollo and Diana Killing Niobe’s children, painted by Jacques-Louis David. Great video btw! 1:17:02
The segment on the Age of Heroes (3:33:24) was my absolute favorite. The way the tragedy of Oedipus was explained gave me goosebumps. Such an incredibly detailed breakdown….
This is literally my favorite channel
Looking forward to your next upload. Keep creating amazing videos! 🔥

These false gods were known as the ANUNNAKI…
THE ENTIRE PANTHEON OF GODS IS MADE UP OF THE ANUNNAKI
This got me through my entire shift at work. Thank you!!
