Published 2024-07-22
This is the tale of the mortal son of the muse Calliope and the God of Music, Apollo. Orpheus, and his love for Eurydice, which drove him to take a journey where no mortal man can normally go, into the underworld of Hades....
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.

Ah, the classic tale of Orpheus, the Argonaut who journeyed to the Underworld, all for the sake of love! A very bittersweet, very Greek story! Showing it from the perspective of the gods was an interesting touch. I loved the shift in moods, from joy and love, to sorrow and grief, to epic determination! You made this story have so many feelings, and as always, very excellent dialogue.

A really good job, Baldermort as you could hear the pride Calliope felt, then her sorrow. The absolute definition of Greek tragedy.

Fantastically done with such a sad and touching story. Bravo Lightbringer. 👏 🎉

OMG!!! How beautifully you narrated this story even to the point where I teared up near the end! You’re so good!! Thank you.

Wow. Deeply moved. Thanks

God, I love these stories of myth so much. This was one of my favorite Greek myths and one of the first they taught us in school. It offers another inspirational tale of tragic love and shows us another side of Hades/Persephone. I hope the next Greek myth tells the tale of Daedelus and Icarus. If not I hope we might revisit the Norse mythology and a reexamination of Loki and his children. I kind of think Loki’s character is sometimes misunderstood like Hades is at times. Anyway, great work!

A sad story of trust. Not just in Eurydice but also trust in Hades being honest. So close yet so far.
