Greek god song gang: Alrighty Aphrodite (peach pit), Mythologica (OFRIN), Achilles come down (gang of youths), Achilles (Fernandez), Persephone (tamino), Cult of Dionysus (the Orion experience), plus I think you could include the musical Hadestown Edits: just discovered the song ‘pomegranate seeds’ by Julian Moon, which is about Hades and Persephone!! Also Perseus by Unknown Brains. Kronos by Keaton Henson Icarus by the crane wives
Once upon a time, Zeus, the King of the Gods, was having an affair with the goddess of the harvest, Demeter. They conceived a beautiful goddess named Persephone, who was loved by all for her lighthearted kindness. Demeter was very protective of her daughter, keeping her naive to the ways of the world and dressing her as a child, even as she grew into a women. She meant to keep her innocent and virginal forever, always by her mother’s side. One day Hades, the God of the Underworld, happened to glance up at the world above and noticed Persephone playing with a group of nymphs in her fields. Now, the underworld was a dark, isolated place, and since it was Hades’ job to judge the souls of all the dead, there was so much work to be done and he hardly ever was able to see his family up above. The other gods had grown to fear him, and the mortals hardly dared to utter his name. Hades was a just god, but he grew lonely and cold as he carried out his duties over the centuries. But as he observed Persephone, he was struck immediately by her beauty and her tenderness towards the nymphs. He ended up going back to watch her every so often, feeling his old heart soften each time. Finally he roused himself to go to Olympus and ask Zeus for Persephone’s hand in marriage. Zeus was pleased with this turn of events: Hades was the richest and most stable of all the Gods, not to mention powerful. He gave his consent to the marriage. However, Hades knew Demeter would never allow the union, so he decided to spirit Persephone away. One day when Persephone was alone in her fields, the ground suddenly split open, and out sprung a huge chariot being pulled by black horses. Hades leaned over the side and scooped Persephone up, and before the girl could even scream, plunged back into the earth. Demeter quickly noticed her daughter was gone and searched frantically for help. Eventually she found a farmer who had witnessed all of it, and Demeter grew livid, vowing that the ground would never produce a stalk of wheat until Persephone was returned. Down in the Underworld, Persephone was distraught. Hades was kind to her and showered her with gifts, but she missed her mother and the world above. Hades was saddened, but he was also patient. He put Persephone’s thrown right next to his and, unlike the other Gods, allowed her equal rule along side him. He treated her not as property, but as someone who could eventually become a friend. When Persephone suggested that another realm be made for the best mortal souls to go to, Hades made it for her. It was called Elysium-the Underworld’s heaven. Persephone felt conflicted. She missed her mother, but Hades was the only person who’d ever treated like an adult. She was beginning to fall in love with him. One morning Persephone went into the Underworld’s garden, and was offered a pomegranate by the gardener. Up until that point, Persephone had resisted eating anything offered to her-she knew that if she ate any food from the Underworld, she would be bound to it forever. But that morning, Persephone was so hungry, she took the pomegranate and ate six of its seeds. Then abruptly, Hermes, the messenger of the Gods, appeared before her. He told her that Demeter had caused the earth to freeze, and that no crops would grow. Mortals were dying in droves, and the only thing that would stop her was Persephone’s return. Persephone reluctantly allowed Hermes to take her to Olympus, where Zeus and Demeter were having it out. Zeus had promised his daughter to Hades without her consent, after all. Persephone tried to convince Demeter that she was all right and that Hades had been kind to her, but Demeter insisted that she had to come home, or else she would let every mortal on earth die of famine. Suddenly the throne room darkened and the Gods turned as Hades stepped out of the shadows. He was holding the partially eaten pomegranate in his hand. “Persephone has eaten the fruit of the Underworld,” Hades said cooly, “she must return and rule it with me.” While Demeter resumed her tantrum, Zeus considered Persephone quietly. “How many seeds did you eat, daughter?” he asked. Persephone told him, “Six.” Zeus stood up from his throne and the assembly quieted. “Since Persephone has eaten six seeds of the pomegranate, I rule that she will spend six months of each year in the Underworld with her husband, and six months tending to the mortal’s fields with her mother.” Neither Demeter nor Hades were completely happy with this agreement, but Zeus had made it so. Every year Persephone returned to the fields and restored them with Demeter, and when the time came, Hades would come to her and escort her to her throne in the Underworld. Each time she left, Demeter mourned and all vegetation died. and each time Persephone returned, the earth warmed and became fertile once again. This is how the Greeks explained the earth’s seasons, and how a goddess of life fell in love with the Underworld.
@@Mishaellaayasi yes that is one way to interpret the story but the nice thing about greek myths is that you can interpret them the way you want. I always choose the happier versions but if you wanna live in a sad world then thats ok i guess

@@lbh515 Inchiodato a queste ore, senza affanno né delizia, con la sete bruciante, come unica compagna fedele nell'ombra come un vecchio cane; soltanto dell'essere vivo, per terrore e non per volontà ho falsamente quasi gioito. Respinto dal sole e da ogni cosa che nutre l'umana e fragile esistenza ho vagato fino a trovarti, inaspettata nel chiaro di luna, tu che coi tuoi lunghi capelli neri come la notte ma profumati di primavera, hai promesso, tacita, di donarmi un sospiro e una speranza. E con coraggio hai afferrato la mia intera esistenza, e legata a me dall'ombra inquietante della morte, hai annuito gentile; mi hai porto la tua piccola e così giovane, tiepida mano, e hai lasciato quel gelo che da vite intere m'intorpidiva le viscere, il cuore e le dita - sopirsi un istante, tra le tue braccia, Persefone. Mi sarei incatenato a te allora! Avrei inchiodato la mia anima al tremolio fragile del tuo respiro, a ogni più debole movimento di quelle piccole e tiepide mani! E nemmeno per un istante avrei mosso lo sguardo da te, perché solo così avrei creduto, illudendomi, di non tremare più. Ma tu, amore! tu così viva, e giovane e calda, con quel petto gracile che palpita e si muove come le onde del mare; tu così piccola, e così coraggiosa, mi hai insegnato a non temere più; a non incatenarmi più, Persefone. E che sia il mattino, amore mio - mia dolce eroina dagli occhi di ghiaccio - la mia dipartita finale da questo grottesco oltretomba: che sia la luce del Sole l'infrangersi delle mie catene, il fuoco che brucia i miei chiodi; la gloria della mia libertà. ♥♥♥

This song makes me believe in love again, just like hades and persephone's story, I was needing this, just got heartbroken and was almost giving up of loving, thank you
I want to learn more about greek mythology as I dont know much other than what I learnt from lore olympus/percy jackson, what other books would you recommend? ^^
@@ayaya5888 well good books to read about greek mythology are : concise dictionary of classical mythology , Iliad, Odyssey etc. You can find more I've got some of which are in Greek so I don't know if you would be able to read them. Hope I helped xx
I live in Greece an in my prefecture there are a lot of of interesting things left there by the centuries but something that I found amazing is that there is this river called Acheron and it's said that this is the gateway to the underworld
I've always loved Greek mythology, and my fave goddess was Persephone. even when i was a kid and we were just learning about the mythology, i liked Persephone's story.
So happy you showed this, the original music video is incredible and the singer looks like a Greek statue himself (he’s of Egyptian descent so his got incredible music that you should all check out) 💕😭🥳😆
@Cherry Pie 5 months ago Oh man, I really feel you. I dont know if you care, but when I came back from a long travel, I had a strange feeling. When I listened to that song, sitting in a parc near my home, I realized it like if it was obvious: I never really came back. Or worst, that place don't exist anymore. The place I wanted to come back to...was no more. Don't get me wrong here, my folks were all there safe and alive but the...me..who ran away and came back later..wasn't the same person. I don't know if that makes any sense, but yeah, that's what that song made me feel. Like even today: I never came home. But yeah, if you're still reading this, I just wanna let you know that I have similar problem such as depression and so on, but when the days are bright, I keep pushing to find a place or a person that I could eventually call "Home". A person that I could come back to and have that same feeling again. So, peace out. I know things will get better for all of us, they always do. :) Take care. (this is not my comment but I really felt this and wanted to share the story){Original by Cherry Pie) [If you share please credit the original person!!!]
@@dakimah4945 Um, sure? I guess they count. It is a tad more chaotic because of all the aphrodite shenanigans and Pysche constantly wanting to die like she was in some Shakespeare play. Other than that, it's a completely healthy relationship.
I know a book about Hades and Persophone's relationship but in a modern setting. I highly recommend it. The author is Scarlett St. Clair. There are 3 books already, and book 4 will be released next year. I love these books so much. 1. A Touch of Darkness 2. A Touch of Ruin 3. A Touch of Malice
Why do i have an existencial crisis listening to this, maybe i should have followed my heart and study literature or something likethis rather than pursue the need for money and go into law school....
Reading lore olympus and listening to this song at the same time it's just an inmersive experience ❤ Poor Hades and Persie, being apart from each other :(
being Greek myself I know understand the importance of the hours of Greek mythology it gives us such an advantage in comparison to other kids who have to learn most of it by therirselves
Oh fuc I thought this song was called "Hades". That's why I couldn't find it! XD Thank you my friend. (^w^)b Edit: _help I've misspelled "freind" so much my auto check isn't catching it and I can't tell which one's right anymore ahhhhhHHHHHHH_
The statue is The Rape of Proserpina(Persephone) a marble sculpture by Bernini, one of the most innovative and skilled sculptor and artist of the Baroque style in the 17th century

Last time I was this early Patroclus and Achilles were still on Mt.Pelion living out their best lives.
why would you hurt me this way
This was uncalled for an you know it!
I both love you for making that reference and hate you for reminding me that they're not there anymore
That was really unnecessary 😔
what was the reason 😔
last time i was this early zeus only had like one kid

I am only here to break your heart in two
The very flower you chose that day
Its only task was to decay
You see?
When I watched your first bathing
I only warned you with a lowered voice
"Be wary of my river's undertow
It flows with water from the coldest source"
Did you hear?
And then I made sure
You would always return
You still know of dawn
But you always return
When you hid under my black wings
They couldn't have protected you from anything
Once in flight they would have let go
You would have once again wound up below
Only broken
Indeed, it's wrong to keep you near me
One could call me cruel and deceiving
But in your sacred air I am full of light
Your loving arms are the true delight
To which I'm lost

What you always will fear

Inchiodato a queste ore,
senza affanno né delizia,
con la sete bruciante, come unica compagna
fedele nell'ombra come un vecchio cane;
soltanto dell'essere vivo,
per terrore e non per volontà
ho falsamente quasi gioito.
Respinto dal sole e da ogni cosa
che nutre l'umana e fragile esistenza
ho vagato fino a trovarti,
inaspettata nel chiaro di luna,
tu che coi tuoi lunghi capelli
neri come la notte ma profumati di primavera,
hai promesso, tacita, di donarmi
un sospiro e una speranza.
E con coraggio hai afferrato
la mia intera esistenza,
e legata a me dall'ombra inquietante della morte,
hai annuito gentile;
mi hai porto la tua piccola e così giovane, tiepida mano,
e hai lasciato quel gelo
che da vite intere m'intorpidiva le viscere,
il cuore e le dita -
sopirsi un istante,
tra le tue braccia,
Persefone.
Mi sarei incatenato a te allora!
Avrei inchiodato la mia anima
al tremolio fragile del tuo respiro,
a ogni più debole movimento
di quelle piccole e tiepide mani!
E nemmeno per un istante
avrei mosso lo sguardo da te,
perché solo così avrei creduto, illudendomi,
di non tremare più.
Ma tu, amore! tu così viva,
e giovane e calda, con quel petto gracile
che palpita
e si muove come le onde del mare;
tu così piccola, e così coraggiosa,
mi hai insegnato a non temere più;
a non incatenarmi più,
Persefone.
E che sia il mattino, amore mio -
mia dolce eroina dagli occhi di ghiaccio -
la mia dipartita finale
da questo grottesco oltretomba:
che sia la luce del Sole
l'infrangersi delle mie catene,
il fuoco che brucia i miei chiodi;
la gloria della mia libertà.

I want to learn more about greek mythology as I dont know much other than what I learnt from lore olympus/percy jackson, what other books would you recommend? ^^
@@ayaya5888 well good books to read about greek mythology are : concise dictionary of classical mythology , Iliad, Odyssey etc. You can find more I've got some of which are in Greek so I don't know if you would be able to read them. Hope I helped xx
@@jasminea.3118 thank you very much I'll definitely look into these!!
@@ayaya5888 don't mention it 😊 x
Me, a hellenic pagan with a childhood hyperfixation on Greek mythology and PJO: 👉👈🙄😁
I live in Greece an in my prefecture there are a lot of of interesting things left there by the centuries but something that I found amazing is that there is this river called Acheron and it's said that this is the gateway to the underworld
This is absolutely beautiful and I love that it talks from Hade's point of view.
Thanks for doing this. Your videos remind me that'd I'm not alone in my love for these old stories and their power.
ohhh no you're not!! here we are a bunch of people who are obsessed with ancient stories ;))
Last time I was this early Achilles was the one hero who was happy
Was he ever truly? Knowing his fate?
💔
@@madisonmorris7394 probably not
@@madisonmorris7394 no but he still had patroclus and that would have given him solace
I used to be obsessed with this song some time ago, thank you for reminding me of this gem❤️
Hades being angsty in summer until Persephone comes back to remind this dramatic boy she still loves him
Last time I was this early, Kronos had just eaten Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. edit: okay okay zeus hadn't been eaten yet >:(
I mean Kronos hadn't eaten Zeus but I get your point
fun fact, my names Rhea hehehe
@@kuroomeow fun fact, my name was supposed do be Gaea
@@jagodadelega8130 OMFG COOOOL
Kronos didnt eat zues but ik what u mean
Last time I was this early, Ouranos still had balls
Yes officer, this comment right here-
Most of the comment section is filled with Greek mythology nerds but I'm just here to vibe and feel the music
tamino is such a vibe
I mean who the hell is hade? 😂
@@ghady2108 how dare you disrespect Hades , god of the underworld
@@twentyonehanias i didnt mean to disrespect anyone..sorry if you got it the wrong way!
it’s me, i’m greek mythology nerd 😔🤚🏽
I've always loved Greek mythology, and my fave goddess was Persephone. even when i was a kid and we were just learning about the mythology, i liked Persephone's story.
This sounds like something Hades would sing to Persephone after being forced to break her heart dispite the fact that he loved her.
Why did nobody say “last time I was this early, Zeus was a monogamist”
Dang did Apollo have another kid
I wouldn’t be surprised...
It's just another ons
This is one of the greatest sounds to ever grace my ears and I can't believe it only has 600,000 views
I just got this randomly recommended to me... this is surprisingly good.
So happy you showed this, the original music video is incredible and the singer looks like a Greek statue himself (he’s of Egyptian descent so his got incredible music that you should all check out) 💕😭🥳😆
thank you, you absolute god
y e s
TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH Tamino is so good
But fr thank you for making this channel
I am LOVING the greek mythology aesthetic
YESSSSS MORE EXPOSURE FOR TAMINOOOOO
Please check out his other songs as well, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
YESSSS TAMINO STANS UNITE
Only God knows how much i love this channel
OMG TAMINO AND THIS CHANNEL?? IM IN LOVE ❤️❤️
Is it me or Persephone and Hades's relationship is more wholesome than the fact that he kidnapped her and made Demeter upset-
Why does it calm me down so much, it's surreal and I love it
I didn't order a broken heart today.
2:54 i felt that 🥺😍🥲
Created a whole choreography in my head 🧚🏼♀️
Now this, this was sent from the Gods 😌
i found this channel about ten minutes ago- my chilhood obsession with greek mythology really said "hELLO TIME TO COME OUT AGAIN"
i didn't find this song, this song found me...

Oh man, I really feel you. I dont know if you care, but when I came back from a long travel, I had a strange feeling. When I listened to that song, sitting in a parc near my home, I realized it like if it was obvious:
I never really came back. Or worst, that place don't exist anymore. The place I wanted to come back to...was no more.
Don't get me wrong here, my folks were all there safe and alive but the...me..who ran away and came back later..wasn't the same person. I don't know if that makes any sense, but yeah, that's what that song made me feel.
Like even today: I never came home.
But yeah, if you're still reading this, I just wanna let you know that I have similar problem such as depression and so on, but when the days are bright, I keep pushing to find a place or a person that I could eventually call "Home". A person that I could come back to and have that same feeling again.
So, peace out. I know things will get better for all of us, they always do. :)
Take care.
(this is not my comment but I really felt this and wanted to share the story){Original by Cherry Pie)
[If you share please credit the original person!!!]
this is a rly cool concept for a channel
Hades and Persephone, the most functioning couple in the entire greek mythology
What about eros and psyche?
@@dakimah4945 Um, sure? I guess they count. It is a tad more chaotic because of all the aphrodite shenanigans and Pysche constantly wanting to die like she was in some Shakespeare play. Other than that, it's a completely healthy relationship.
@@ichabod9462that's true
Hebe and Herakles, Dionysos and Ariadne
3:49 this part is my favourite and I can't explain why
I know a book about Hades and Persophone's relationship but in a modern setting. I highly recommend it. The author is Scarlett St. Clair. There are 3 books already, and book 4 will be released next year. I love these books so much.
1. A Touch of Darkness
2. A Touch of Ruin
3. A Touch of Malice
do you have more book recommendations like these?
wow posted a few minutes ago and only 6 comments and 405 views? It needs more!
keep going your channel is soooo beautiful
Oh oh i recommend Kronos by keaton henson,and charon also by keaton. He is my favorite artist. It would be amazing if you could
Glad I found this channel now I'm more interested to read a book ff
YES YOU UPLOADED TAMINO
This song is beautiful. The video really looks like Hades is singing for Her.
okay so im from greece and can i just say that i love all the appreciation our mythology is getting? people here dont talk about it enough....
We do though, maybe you just don't hang around people who do
feel like they don't talk about anything else
i know absolutely nothing about greek mythology. i just really like this.
W0W who is this guy?I just ran in to this.Great playing , lyrics,voice,great music!
ugh i love this so much
I can’t help but imagine Hades singing this to Persephone
Hdes sounding like Narcissus and admitting his falws to Persephone..
Thank the gods I found this, now I can continue my love for greek stories
THIS REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF THE BOOK "they both die at the end"
*this is a masterpiece...*
Persephone is my favorite Greek gooddess!
I don't know this song on rainy day gives you chills.
These lyrics hit hard man
I’ve been looking for this song omggg now I can read in peace
Every time I listen I start bawling 😭😗👍🙂
This song is so beautiful
EVERYONE NEEDS TO LISTEN TO ATLAS DROWNED BY GANG OF YOUTHS- SO UNDERATED
Every song I know named after a mythological figure is amazing
Why do i have an existencial crisis listening to this, maybe i should have followed my heart and study literature or something likethis rather than pursue the need for money and go into law school....
Reading lore olympus and listening to this song at the same time it's just an inmersive experience ❤
Poor Hades and Persie, being apart from each other :(
im so happy i found this account
Now I am deep deeeeep in my Ancient Greek mythology world and I never want to come back
Finding this song after you've watched Blood of Zeus really puts you in a weird mood, huh....
this makes me wan to write fanfics.
being Greek myself I know understand the importance of the hours of Greek mythology it gives us such an advantage in comparison to other kids who have to learn most of it by therirselves
You HAVE to learn greek mythology? That's the coolest thing I've ever heard
@@alina3509 yeap, we do learn it, though in a really young age (third grade) so most teachers don't teach it as it exactly is, it's still cool though
@@annaath9134 that's really amazing 🥺 I've leaned everything on my own or in my latin class but m I think I still need to learn like a lot hahah
@@annaath9134 but we never really stop learning about it. You get the basics at 3rd grade and then you keep going up until the end of high-school
I fell in love
By the gods, are they my favorite couple out of all the gods. So loving, and so loyal.
Hello! I love the clever theme of this channel! Would u mind making one on Sarah Bareilles' Orpheus?
Oh fuc I thought this song was called "Hades". That's why I couldn't find it! XD Thank you my friend. (^w^)b
Edit: _help I've misspelled "freind" so much my auto check isn't catching it and I can't tell which one's right anymore ahhhhhHHHHHHH_
it's "friend"
in american English, the general "rule" (there are exceptions) is "I before E, except after C"
Last time I was this early, Kronos and Rhea only had 3 kids
I misread and my immediate thought was "taemin comeback?!?!?"
Ayy, I'm 10th lol (love ur channel
ive come to realize my entire song playlists are songs resembling greek mythology
The statue is The Rape of Proserpina(Persephone) a marble sculpture by Bernini, one of the most innovative and skilled sculptor and artist of the Baroque style in the 17th century
