The Greatest Prophet in Greek Mythology

Melampus was the first seer, herbalist, medic, worshipper of Dionysus and mixologist in Ancient Greece. He travelled the world, sailed with Jason as an Argonaut and saved Argos from the Bacchae. I can only apologise that the crappy green screen art in my background doesn't do this great man justice (still working on improving it)! 😉🤞 He was directly descended from Gods & Titans, and went from ostracised noble in the land of Pylos, to founder of a dynasty of kings in Argos. He could talk to animals, see the future, concoct potions, and taught the Greeks to mix their wine with water. His journeys took him across Greece, Egypt, Phoenicia and beyond - where he met and adventured with many incredible figures and Gods. I've mentioned Jason, but also Heracles, Cadmus, Anaxagoras (sometimes called Proteus), Apollo, Helios and Dionysus. He even single-handedly forced off a curse laid upon him by one of the Furies! He took his family from the brink of a vengeful king, helped his brother and mother, even going so far as to make himself and his brother Bias a king. He helped his uncle reclaim his throne, and was a favourite of my two favourite gods - Apollo & Dionysus! Melampus is a true unsung hero. He is mentioned only in passing, but his accomplishments more than match those of some of the greatest mythological figures of Graeco-Roman culture. We have fragments of a lost epic about him by Hesiod, and small yet significant stories about him across many writers. In this video documentary I have tried to piece these stories and fragments together into something I like to think of as a modern Melampodia. An epic tale of his life, spanning continents and generations, showcasing his adventures and powers, talents and achievements. He embodies the Nietzschean concept of the Apolline-Dionysiac synthesis, something very interesting to me, so I hope you enjoy learning about a mythological hero who may well be new to you!
