It's wonderfully restorative; those people have also wronged others & thus are purifying themselves & liable to show mercy. It is the dinner of the long spoons.
Looking forward to the next few videos. I will wait for the video on the different cults. You bring the joy of contemplation and wonder back to someone who misses reading. Thanks.
Thing is, I can communicate with the otherside seriously. But since I have always been this way, I donmake a habit of doing it all if the time, nor do I ask particular questions. Don't know exactly why, either because I don't want to know, ir I just feel like I should play it cool. Needlessly, I do ask questions regarding my personal situations in regards to yes ir no questions. I know there is an existance afterlife but not exactly how it is. I'm smart enough to know to not allow darkness or negative Spirits near us. I have been this way since I can remember to remember, like 3? I just don't tell everyone. It is too controversial & culd cause a lot of unwanted issues. I did discuss it with my Rabbi once. He said G_d didn't give bad. We left it with that. He died several years ago. I keep it quiet.
Perfect pause at the glitch at 12:14 for this comment 🤔 No wonder my entire life has been spent longing for non existence... I probably already have that floating rock in the void that I always wanted as my own... Ugh, home is in the infinite beyond 😔
You mention that this is already a long video, and it got me thinking. I would totally watch longer format videos from you. I don't know about the rest of your audience but id be so excited to see an hour long video from you, if you ever felt like you wanted to! You're great and I love watching. :)
Is really amazing how much inspired on Classic mithology is the Dante´s Divine Comedy. How specific on the landscapes and what character deserved what. Great video Lady!
Hi Lady. I just wanted to say that I have been looking forward to this episode. I’m researching the history of death and death cults in ancient times and I think this video will be a great research tool.
That would be amazing! I agree. *Can we please get an Ancient Egyptian Mythology series!?* I would LOVE that. I'm too huge of a fan of all mythology. Stay safe, my friend! ❤
@@starcapture3040 I find it confusing as well. Very interesting, no doubt. All of these gods, all of this culture. Can you just imagine the times? I mean, definitely a more brutal time for all, but I cannot even imagine how beautiful our planet must have looked then. We see buildings all over today in the world, just imagine what Egypt looked like lit up at night, or Rome and Greece! Amazing..❤
@@TheMightyBlackPearl My Month is Gemini Too and I share your love to the ancient world too. its like a whole magical place where people have had far more connection to nature than us
@@starcapture3040 us Gems sure do love nature. It's like a craving, isn't it? I can't begin to imagine what it all looked like. We sure do love knowledge and things hidden, don't we? I love Egypt. When I was a little girl I so badly wanted to be an Egyptologist. I think I may pursue a different route though because I want to visit every site I can! Though Egypt and Greece I'm sure would be my favorites. Lol
I always love your videos, your voice and all the wonderful knowledge you have to give. ^_^ Hope that you are in a cool place with this upcoming Summer and its heat and or, in the very least, are able to be keeping cool during Summer. I look forward to your next production. :3
Please be careful to call Hades the God of *the dead.* Not the God of *death.* Also, Persephone isn't really the Goddess of death or the dead. She is the Queen of the Underworld. If you'd like, I wouldn't mind gathering up the sources for this upon request. Just to clarify, not hate intended ❤
Hermes gives the brochure for the land of the dead. It is there the dead learn there are no pajamas allowed. For my trail can I use the "blame on it on the al-aaaaa-alchohol, baby, the Hennessy made me feel loose, the patron put me in the zone". Also, I have an original sin, I poked a badger with a spoon.🎉
First, you make scholarship delightful. Second, it's good to see your face again. Third, your voice is an extra attraction. Mark this day with a white stone; another Cinzia video. (Take your damn upvote, already.)
“Ok! Let’s play a game! Your dead! Congratulations!” Best intro line to a video ever! Great job LoTL! I am using this video to inspire my creative writing (designing a religion for a god of nobility and magic in a TTRPG setting!) Thanks a lot kiddo!
Hi. Only just found your channel and love it. Have watched several since I found you. Fascinating and great presentation. Thanks for doing what you do 🙏👍
Curious is that different countries mention the ancient Greek burial coin tradition differently. The British and Americans say the coins were put in the deceased's mouth, but the Russians (and other east-Europeans say coins were put on one's eyes. I wonder if this depended on source or on translation? 🤔
good video, do you have a list of sources you used? as someone who is very interested in greek mythology and cult, i would love to read these books/articles
I'm in the midst of my annual read of Dante's Divine Comedy so this video and one on the devil fill in a lot of his Inferno background. I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you for all the work that you put into these.
If you’re looking for a light take on the DC, then Red’s videos on the OSP channel are just a hoot. (I reread the DC periodically to keep my own foolishness in check.)
It's very interesting how the ancient greek views on the underworld were translated on Christianity and the old testament since the biblical sheol is basically the hebrew version of the underworld as there's no heaven or hell on the old testament.
Omg yes!!!! I'm always so happy to see a new video from you! ❤❤❤❤ Reading really does save lives. Keep reading - ESPECIALLY the books America is trying to ban.
First time here, loved the video, such perfect diction, pronunciation, and annunciation, … would love to see you attempt. ‘Gerard Nolst Trenité - The Chaos’. Poem … they say it’s quite difficult, a French man said he’d prefer war than to attempt it again, plus I suspect you’d find it a fun challenge, I subscribed after you said the word povvo at the start, brilliant 👍😊, cheers from Australia
I understand people have bothered you about pronunciations before, and what you did at first with Minos and Charon is a great compromise when there are several accepted pronunciations to state all of them at first reference. But please, go easy on yourself and don't let yourself be bullied, go with the pronunciation you're most comfortable with in later mentions.
Orphic cults weren't monotheistic. They were monolatrous,which means they acknowledged existence of other gods but only worshipped Dionysus. Just like early jews.
Thank you! Much of this was familiar, thanks to my teenage interest in mythology, but I had no idea that the Greeks had a belief in reincarnation as a regular process. Sorry about the tech issues, but the doggie interactions were very cute.
For those of us who grow up with a revealed religion, like Christianity, we assume that the afterlife is standardized. However, pre-Christian European religions believed different things at different times and places. I am not suggesting this video is "wrong" in any sense. Just adding to it.
I do like this video but would you be able to make your own captions? There are several words that took me several repeats to realize what you were saying and some that I flat out don't recognize at all... and I took both Greek and Latin. :(
Thank You So Very Much. I like to listen to stuff late at night to fall asleep. I'm not saying you're boring, but very soothing. I'll pick it up in the morning where I dozed off.
As a man who worships the ancient Greek Gods I'd say that lap hates you at this point. That bad joke aside this was a great video. Keep up the great work.
Just discovered this channel. Your voice is so deep and pronunciation so received (I think, not an expert on differences on UK regional speech), you sound like an incredible villain. Bummed it took me so long to find such a great history/archaeology/classics channel. Thank you for your work!
Been watching your videos for quite awhile & always enjoy them. These last several including this one have been really interesting to me, since I’m really focused on the Hades video game at the moment. I really adore both Thanatos & Zagreus in the game & would love to hear more about them!
I'm playing that game too and loving the mythology! I'm not very skilled so it's taking me awhile to get through (I'm up to Theseus), and I'm taking a break to play Spiritfarer. Which is funny because it's also loosely based on the Underworld, taking on Charon's job but in a more wholesome way :)
@@maggiescarlet I’ll have to try that other game out! I’m quite always into the game now, but I’ve been playing it obsessively, lol. I would recommend to you to google up the best builds as far as keepsake/aspect/and boons for each weapon. That helped me out a lot! Also, there are videos out there with good beginner tips. I’ve found the distance weapons don’t work as well for me, the melee is better, especially Malphon. I guess it fits my play style best.
@@FaerywingArt I'll look into that next time I dive into its depths haha. The fists are my favourite too, especially with the magnetic power on it- can't remember names. The shield works pretty well for me too, just barging in and out of the fray basically! Spiritfarer is very different, almost like hotel/resource management, getting to know and completing requests for the souls, and a little bit of platforming. Very relaxing :)
If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium and you are already dead.
Do I get to choose my horse? Because I want a magnificent black Friesian stallion
Where is this quote from?

Not yet...
"You will be judged by the souls of the people you have wronged"
That is deliciously evil. I love it.
It's wonderfully restorative; those people have also wronged others & thus are purifying themselves & liable to show mercy.
It is the dinner of the long spoons.
It sounds like justice to me.
It's not evil at all, that's the whole point.
Oh, this is my stuff. I've been obsessed with Hades (the realm) for a while! Thank you so much!
You communicate with your dog! So cute! I feel like so few people actually talk with their pets, it's lovely.~
Looking forward to the next few videos. I will wait for the video on the different cults. You bring the joy of contemplation and wonder back to someone who misses reading. Thanks.
I can imagine Hermes collecting me with first saying “congratulations you’re dead!” With the cadence as yours
I have enjoyed listening to your presentation today
The site of the rivers are easily explainable.
Thanks for the video!! I always learn so much watching you!!
Wow, beautiful break down!
Really fun to hear how much of this that Dante Allegeri straight up copyed from this
Thank you for another superb video as always ^_^
Love learning about my name sake.
Loved this one! ❤️

I think your dog wanted to make sure all dogs go to Elysian Fields.
Wait, one coin placed on the Mouth? I thought it was two coins placed on the Eyes, or is it just because it looks cooler in the Movies?
Can you create courses on some platform for us to learn from you further!?
So the furies just vibe check you
First :)
I'm dead? That explains a lot, like why my beard has become gray.
HA! my knees are gray, beard is white. so it goes.
When I die, I hope I'm greeted with that first line "You're dead. Congratulations. Let's start your journey to the underworld, shall we."
Right?

Love it when your dogs get involved! Thanks for telling the stories. I have learned a great deal from your content. Much appreciated!
Love this series. Can you do the ancient Egyptian gods and mythology next? Please and thank you.
Egyptian afterlife is interesting with lake of fire. I find Mesopotamian afterlife much more confusing there is more than one version of it.

Hel is the Norse Goddess of the Underworld. If I’m not mistaken, it is known as Niffelheim.
Aint going to lie, I plan on offering my soul to Hecate on hope she might accept my undying service. Hecate is my celebrity crush.
It's very interesting how the ancient greek views on the underworld were translated on Christianity and the old testament since the biblical sheol is basically the hebrew version of the underworld as there's no heaven or hell on the old testament.

You probably won’t respond but, is the tragedy of Julius Caesar from William Shakespeare really accurate or is it what he thinks happened?
I have always wondered, if you knew you would be judged and sent to Tartarus, why would you bother paying the ferryman?
