- POSEIDON TAKES THE THRONE
Poseidon having just won the war against the Titans with his siblings, goes to claim his throne and kingdom. As the Titans have been banished to Tartarus, Poseidon must take his throne from the last Titans left, Oceanus and Tethys. The last independent titans left from the old regime, their fate is left to the new ruler, if they give it up without a fight.
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.

Zeus: gets a bunch of clouds, "neat"
Hades: becomes the tenant of the ultimate retirement home, "could be worse"
Poseidon: gets the vastest, most beautiful realm, brimming with life and splendor "I WANT THE CLOUDS!!! 😡"
😂😂😂
the vast depths of horror and wonder t osate curiosities both sedate and gross, but it is not for the timid or faint of heart.
It is sad that he is not more appreciative of what he has been alloted to. Though it is perhaps meritous that he has wisdom enough to go 'Yea everything seems to be working well as is. I am not going to fuck with it. Keep doing your jobs. No more or less.'
On the contrary the underworld is probably the most beautiful because it’s home to the paradise it’s also the richest realm.
😂🤣 Poseidon: I want the clouds, damn it!
Zeus: "Stop being a baby, you are literally the only one of us to willingly get almost a third of our army destroyed in battle. Hades is older and wiser than you, and even he respects the fact that, if it weren't for me, you'd still be wasting away in dad's stomach. Be a little grateful, you earth-rattling toddler."
Poseidon: Inventor of the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset
😂😂😂
Sometimes it does pay to have a hands off approach. Especially when sudden waves can cause literal Tsunami.
Even Poseidon cowers in abject fear at the feet of the titan Algorithmos
😂 We all quake at the might of Algorithmos!
"Why did We got the laziest out of the three"
Damn, damn. No water of the sea can soften that burn
😂😂😂
Poseidon shows up, makes a throne.
“Alright y’all I’m out, gonna go play Xbox on Olympus”
I just equivocate the celestial games of divinity to Xbox on crack.
😂
*Ork voice* "Dat git Zeus tricked me with his kunnin!"
- Poseidon... probably
😂😂😂 This is hilarious!

the greek gods must speak volumes about ancient greek rulership
They are taking you back into the Past to show the stories that rock!
This was wonderful!!! I wait for your next piece. My recommendation is, how about the daughters of Ares, the Amazons. Thank you for such a wonderful story to listen to. You cannot complete these quick enough for me. Excellent work!!!!
JESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now behold the beginning of the pettiness of the Olympians.!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent video, LightB and Baldy are superb as normal....funny thing isn't it? When magnificent narration and voice acting become "normal". I am afraid you spoil us all. I truly love this channel and especially this specific series. Bravo Baldy family, bravo.
Thank you Lord Crakkin - your comments on our videos have made my week! You are spoiling us too with all the high praise! Thank you so much - it truly means a lot!!!
- Lightbringer
Sooooo, Poseidon is truly a petulant child. So what was it then “O Earth Shaker”, your brothers cheated you?😮Well go ‘head then “Petty Betty”!😅😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve ALWAYS loved Greek Mythology ever since I was a child. Now at 63 I can understand these stories with fresh eyes/ears and Wisdom to call a thing, a thing! ❤ I absolutely love this channel!❤❤❤
With time and experience comes wisdom, and how the same tale can change, simply because you have. Is so incredible ! Thank you for watching our videos, and keeping your love of mythology burning bright!!!
- Lightbringer
Another wonderful instalment!
Glad you think so!
- Lightbringer
The voice acting, music and storytelling in the Baldermort series' always keep me coming back for more.
Once again, your new video came at the perfect time. It was such a nice surprise to see it in my feed! Masterfully performed as always, I can’t wait to see your next videos, Baldermort and Lightbringer! 😁
I'm glad to hear we came at the perfect time :) thanks for watching! I hope the videos to come will entertain you just as much :)
- Lightbringer
Awesome as Always.
I love how you guys have found or made the art, because the way you use it to represent the story is great.
From the version I remember Poseidon is only the God of the Seas while Oceanus, TItan of the Ocean and Tethys, Titaness of Fresh Water got to keep their titles as a reward by Zeus for staying neutral in the war. Yes Poseidon got to be god of the seas, but Oceanus and Tethys were never demoted from ocean and freshwater
Version is the active word here. There are many many many interpretations of the pantheon from many many sources.
We cross reference and do what is most logical to create a functioning narrative.
Great video! Can't help ut wonder what tales you'll be covering of his many deeds! Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you David! There's plenty to come, so we hope you enjoy!!!

Been a while since I've been able to catch up on these, glad I've finally got the chance!
I love how this entire episode was basically Poseidon, in the most grandiose way conceivable, making a neat chair and telling everyone to just go back to doing whatever they were doing before he made his neat chair.
It is in keeping with Posidon to believe he was tricked, when drawing of lots was his idea and agreed on by both of his brothers to keep thigns as impartial as possible. 'Let Fate decide.' The problem is when you let Fate decide you lose all right to be upset with the result.
I do agree wit hhis assessment of the Trident however. Sure the thunderbolt has more inherent Power, but it is a weapon of pure offense. One cannot defend wit ha thunderbolt. One cannot easily use it as a tool. the Trident is a wonderful weapon and while Posidon i a very... brutish person? It does speak well of him taht he chose a weapon that is as much tool as anything else.
Again Posidon shows wisdom that is not normally on display by realizing of the realms his is the largest and the most needed. Without the seas or rivers the lands and skies grow barren leaving only the grandmother to watch her grandchildren shrivel.
The worst part of it all? Had Posidon been a better diplomat, blessed with a better temper? They would have been powerful stalward allies and stewarts of the realm. Loyal and wise council.
In Greek myths, no such thing as having it all. If Poseidon was as you described, he would’ve been relegated into the background in myths like Hestia. She was one of the original 6 but because of her diplomatic and non confrontational nature, there’s almost no stories about her.
Poseidon's name supposedly means consort/husband of the Earth, which suggested he could've been a native god who was originally paired off with a mother/fertility goddess and was incorporated into the Greek pantheon, thus became secondary to Zeus, and hence his antagonistic attitude toward Zeus being the ruler. This also made his infatuation with Demeter and his association with horses, a land animal, a lot clearer and more sense. In fact the Greeks incorporated a lot of local gods and goddesses into their religion, all of whom, of course, became the subjects of the Greek's head god Zeus. This certainly explained why there is so much strife and infighting in the Greek pantheon.
Excellent as usual, excited for the next one 🎉
Yay, thank you! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it!!

By the gods, out of the three, only Hades seems to have been humbled by his throne. He accepts his role and burden with stoicism. Zeus clings to his thone jealously. He makes decisions based on fear and doubt. Poseiden couldn't give a damn about his. He would rather pursue his brother's, then bother to sit on his own. They may have earned their thrones by overthrowing their tyrant father. But, only Hades has truly deserved it. The other brothers petty squabbles will cause much suffering by the time their tales are finally concluded.
The only time Hades seems to show his brothe'rs vices seems to be with persephone. Yet at the same time? One could argue Persephone was being smothered by demeter and saw she could cultivate something akin to gentleness within Hades. After all, his is the last word and the last laugh. And what being who has a loyal and favored pet can be truly wholly irredeemably Evil?
Even mortal despots have had favored hounds and loyal companions. Why not the lord of the grave?
It is an interesting thing to me how human the Greek gods are. In modern myth making, we tend to rely on archetypes, like a wind God might be flighty and forgetful, a water good might be nourishing but harsh and unforgiving... they didn't code the personality of the gods to the perceived attributes of the element. Poseidon is just a dude, same as Hades, same as Zeus, he's just a dude, who reaches when he feels slighted, delights when he's placated, etc. He's not smart, he's not wise, he's not impartial or detached. He's just a dude. I like that.
Interesting comment, it does make me wonder if this is a result of the Greek myths being so well recorded that we have enough" data" so to speak to paint a very full character for each of them, whereas the same can't be said of most pantheons across the world, potentially causing our basic archetypal interpretations of many of them.
Wow! This posiden is not Aquaman!!
So cool!!
Love these videos! Do you think youl ever cover Norse mythology
Eventually we hope to!

This Poseidon is as fickle and treacherous as the seas he rules.
Stellar as normal
A comment and a like for the algorithm, because you deserve it.
Noice 👍
I love stories for another time but place keep us updated on how Poseidon caused the most strife.
Comments for the metrics. Can't structure my thoughts in a useful way. Thanks for a great video.
Always appreciated! Comments to help the algorithm gods!
- Lightbringer
He was tricked??? It was always said that poseidon loved to rule the sea. Its hades who doesnt like his job as being in charge of the underworld.
He did love ruling the seas. But its often stated he wanted the top job. Its why he turns on Zeus at nearly any opportunity.
@@livingmythology1405Ohhhhhh
Dream come true ❤
Thanks for the love @livingmythology
Excited comment to boost the initial release to be followed by a more thoughtful comment when I've finished the video and had time to dwell on it
We always appreciate comments, early and late - quick or thoughtful! We hope you enjoyed this video as much as the rest so far!
- Lightbringer
@@livingmythology1405 gonna be honest
I fell asleep after the first few minutes, I'll have to give it another go later XD
How is Poseidon & his brothers not the gods of pettiness.. The brothers three are truly undeserving of what they fought so hard for..
Hey don't smack talk Hades he is the hardest working of the 3 and he treats his wife with respect
@@DarthRellek55 Perhaps.. But let’s not forget he did first kidnap and held her against her will..
@@ravager2-636 that's only one of the telling of that story.
Because they are us.
Hades slander is not allowed.
You should do the confessions of Apollo
Oh we intend to my friend!
- Lightbringer
Earthshaker
Always wondered who actually ruled the waters among Pontus, Oceanus and Poseidon.
Pontus should because he’s the primordial of the waters
Comment for the AI,
We know a lot about Persephone and Hera ,however little if anything is known about Poseidon's wife, I'm not even sure he has one.
Her name is Amphitrite. She is a nereid - daughter of Nereus of the sea and Poseidon's wife!
She is rarely mentioned in mythology as she doesn't feature in many myths - unlike Persephone and Hera who have many.
I hope to do a video on her at some point in the future!
