  • This is the story of how Hephaestus got revenge on his cheating wife, by cursing her offspring with Ares.
    Harmonia, the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares receives a necklace with a curse from Hephaestus and tragedy ensues...
    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.

    A very good and detailed story about the tragedy of Harmonia. And a delightful tale that shows how similar the Olympians are in terms of spite and hypocrisy. Hera is always enraged at Zeus for his philandering, yet will cover for her favored son, Ares, then discarded and maimed Hephaestus for being ugly. Then Hephaestus viciously takes his rage and humiliation on beautiful and innocent Harmonia, on her wedding day, no less! Not only does he cause unnecessary suffering to her, but to many other legends and heroes, all for the sake of his spite. He truly is Hera's son in this regard. Fantastic work!

    Absolutely awesome. No matter the god or mortal, your voices perfectly embody them. When you portray Aphrodite, I easily picture as the most beautiful object in creation. When Hera, the sorrow and pettiness.
    Same when you portray Zeus, Hades or Hephaestus.
    So very glad this channel exists.

    Your take on Haphestus...
    How i want to grab the man by his beard and slam him face first into a table before shouting at him that he treated Hera as a prize, a Thing... a bauble to be given or taken. That is not Love.
    Above all if you love a thing that cannot love you or you ccannot be with. Let it go.
    And so, he shouldh ave let HER go. Ask Zeus for an annullment. He had gotten what revenge he could of the situation and so perhaps in time find another who loves the forging and working. The shaping and crafting.
    Some people make better exes than partners. Friends rather than lovers.

    I have to say, it does crack me up that the Greek gods are basically just nobles with literally godlike superpowers. It's great. The tails are also beautiful, tongue in cheek aside. I was so fascinated with how Hephaestus believed he could not be loved because his wife was cheating on him and he was mocked by everyone. And so he turned to tearing down that which spurned him. To make them share his pain. It's very interesting. I just really liked your take on it, Baldermort.

    Oh snap. I recognized the name Oedipus from my high school days' studies. Suffice to say, as it was an all-boy Catholic school, the re-creation we did of their theater was 'accurate' to say the least. Myself in the masque and garb of his daughter Antigone. That'll be the day, should you cover that lol.

      Hephaestus was raised by the sea goddess and future mother of Achilles, Thetis. It's likely he went to the palace of her parents the elder sea god and goddess, Nereus and Doris.
