Persephone and Hades – A Mother's Rage

Persephone and Hades – A Mother’s Rage

This is the tale of Persephone and Hades, but also about Demeter, the gods and the seasons. Told by Persephone, Demeter and Hades himself, we explore the events that lead to the relationship between Hades and Persephone forming.
Also a lesson about the seasons, and how the myths explain natural phenomena in the world.
But also about the power that worship and prayer hold…

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.

  2. I'm gonna dread waiting until work tomorrow to listen to this. I was honestly worried you wrapped up the Greeks with the typhon "closing"
    Complete art my friends

  6. This is one of those myths that’s so interesting to see how people look at. From more modernizations, to deep dissections of it (how much is it Hades fault, how much Zues, so on). I am eager to see your take on it.

  7. I absolutely love the way you guys tell these stories. You make them come alive in a way I've not seen before. I've always loved Pursephone, this, and his taking over the underworld, makes me love Hades as well.

  10. You truly are your fathers daughter. Very well done Lightbringer…there's not much left for Lord Baltemort to teach you. Your inflection is perfect for creating comedy and tenderness while he is the master of using inflection to create suspense and conflict. How about some Sumrian mythology in 2024? Love you both!!!!

Hades is a good and loving husband, he does not shame Me with a roving gaze anove i am but your Daughter, here i am Queen, and my Husbands kingdom never shall pass away, dor all xome ro it eventually…"

  19. Here I was thinking the Greek Saga was over. Sir Baldermort And Lady Lightbringer, this was another fantastic piece of mythology brought to life. And Hades! He looked so good! The facial animations are looking awesome 😎 Looking forward to more fantastic work as you have always done, and looking forward to seeing your channel get the recognition it deserves 😎

  28. Also i usually only listen to these but I decided to watch a bit of this one and saw the eerie talking heads. I guess we can welcome Living Mythology to the Uncanny Valley 😂

  30. Demeter is the epitome of a possessive controlling mother. Her unwillingness to let her daughter go is the exact thing that drove her away. Of course, Persephone still loves her, but she longs to live her own life. And in typical possessive parent fashion, Demeter makes it everyone else's problem and refuses to relent until she gets her way. I love how you told this tale. I love the interpretation that Hades is a proud and noble king, and Persephone is his beautiful, regal and fair Queen. They have a real genuine bond, and even Demeter cannot break that. As always, keep up the wonderful work.

    Yours Truly

  34. I honestly just discovered your channel 2 weeks ago and loving it. I love mythology in itself but particularly Greek. Your doing great job. Bit of advice. I like Norse but finish Greek as it's more popular outside of Thor of course lol. Keep up great work
