  • GREEK MYTHOLOGY: The Birth and Early Exploits of Hermes - Hermes' Confession
    A tale told from Hermes and Maia, the mother of Hermes, of how he came to be. This tricky god got up to a lot of mischief in his first few days of life, including upsetting the greek god Apollo. This video details the twisting tale of his birth and his roles in the pantheon of olympic gods.
    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.

    I had a smile on my face for the entire duration of this video. It reminded me so much of how I was when I was a young child and all the mischief and trouble I got myself into. The response from Zeus was what I imagine any parent has when hearing of the devious exploits of their children, slightly disappointed, and yet proud of their ingenuity. My own parents were the same way. This captures what it is to be a young boy so well. Hermes is restless, bored, easily entertained, and a bit of a troublemaker. His antics make his mother worry and fret to the point of explosive anger, and yet she just wants him to be healthy and strong. Keep up the wonderful work, Sir Baldermort and Lady Lightbringer. 🤠

      To remind people of their own lives and families, a delight and a wonder! Thank you for sharing Zachariah, and I'm so glad that the stories portrayed the right things. Curiosity of a child, the worry of a mother and how complicated families can be! Thank you for watching and enjoying our videos and sharing your wonderful thoughts!
