Living Mythology is an attempt to entertain, relax and educate all in the one place. We are trying to forge narratives so that people can experience the religions and mythologies of the world as they were meant to be. Not as dry academic monoliths, but as living breathing tales and parables as experienced by the peoples who worshipped these beings, in an attempt to make sense of their own lives and the world around them.
This channel is in its infancy, so we hope to improve and develop it as we gain more experience.
All of the tales are taken from very conflicting traditions across many centuries, so there will be many a moment when decisions need to be made to create a more cohesive narrative. If we present something that seems to be in contrast to details, rest assured we have researched many forms of the traditions and come to the conclusions we have done to form the videos.
There will NEVER be total agreement on any of these narratives due to the history and differing ways they developed over the centuries.
These videos are for entertainment and an easy gateway to the subject. If you wish more academic details then please direct your attention to the wide source material and others who perform those types of academic video essays.

The fear kinda bad for the sirens. All they wanted is to be nymphs once more but were denied.

Thanks for this Lightbringer and Mr. B. Another excellent video, Hera showed Demeter why she was queen of the gods. As ever greetings from Kilkenny.

Hera is Queen of Olympus and don't you ever forget it.
-
Man, the sirens really deserved better. Though it definitely taught Demeter a lesson
-
Thanks for another great video!
-
Another great story. This reaffirms how much of a master manipulator Hera is.
-
Heh, Epic Rap Battles of Mt. Olympus. XD You guys rock, incredible telling as always. Also, love that you added a Hera talking head.
-
The sirens were horrified. They were deprived of their one and only desire to be nymphs.
-
Excellent as always
-
This one took my breath away. It was gorgeous a great job and keep up the good work.

What Zeus could have said to Demeter: "Our daughter is old enough to be married. Hades wants to marry her. I'm the king. It's happening." What Zeus did: " I'll help you kidnap her. I don't wanna deal with Demeter's anger. She'll have to accept it after it happens." Also Zeus: "Ok, Demeter, I understand that mistakes were made, but you can't just stop doing your job and let a bunch of humans die. They're not sacrificing anymore, and thats really affecting our bottom line. What do I need to do to make this ok?".

I am really impressed with the presenter and the visuals. Beautiful voice and wonderful story.

Fantastic!!! Another quality video...

Amazing!!! Now I see how Queen Hera is indeed the worthy queen of Olympus. She is very delicate in Demeterβs punishment.
-
Iβve been waiting to have some time to myself to watch this one as Iβve been taking care of my father. Damn! Demeter thinking she can do whatever she wants but Heraβs like βhold my ambrosiaβ
