- HADES TOUR OF THE UNDERWORLD
Greek Gods
Hades, son of Chronos and brother to Zeus, now takes his place as the ruler of the underworld, the lands of the dead.
But Did you know that in Greek Mythology there was reincarnation? That there were many places in the lands named after their king, Hades? Watch to find out!
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.

Thank you.
Dear Living Mythology,
Thank you so much for this video! I would request that you please send it, in the form of a script, to Hollywood and have this made into a movie. The writing, concept, and narrator are all excellent! Will you consider giving that a try, and let me know how it goes? Thank you
I was Zeus Father as Hades not Kronis, thats Zeus other Incarnation. The One who used His Blood to Make Odin as a Incarnation for His Father "Heaven/Space ". Of Whom Hades is...Brother only in Jest around the Bitches being only 23 Years older than Zeus, seems less like a Father when You hit 300 and your first son is 277 years Old. That's all there is to the "Brother Thing" between Zeus and Hades. Thor the Son of Zeus was a Reincarnation of His Father born from His Seed. So the First Thor/Osiris was essentially a Reincarnation of Hades Himself.
-Hades
Styx: And everything is Osha-compliant, my Lord
Hades: Styx, I should marry you, but the Meta requires you to stay a river.
Styx: I've been married before my lord, and it did not end well for my last husband - ask your uncle :)
- Lightbringer
Hades, Hades, Hades... how few truly grasp how he was the smartest brother. Thanks Team Living Mythology for illustrating that brilliantly.
We're happy to hear you enjoy our interpretations :) - thank for watching!
- Lightbringer
@@livingmythology1405 this was excellent
OMG Hades is my all time favourite God ❤💜🌹💗🌹🦋🐞🌼🌻🥰
@@tinkabell1400 Hades is the most respectable of them imo
@@shadowslayer2929 oh absolutely I agree my dark shadowy friend love your name it has shadow in the first part 💜❤️💗
Suddenly Hades dosent seem like a bad afterlife
Out of the three brothers, Hades had the potential to be the most benevolent ruler of the universe. He is willing to not just lead the most difficult kingdom out of the three, but he is willing to lead from the front with compassion and a perspective the other gods, save maybe prometheus, completely lack. It is a shame that he did not take Olympus.
Which makes it all the more annoying when modern media tends to portray him as the villain in the Greek Pantheon when it should have been Poseidon
@@kinghunter74 and in some cases even zeus.
I would have liked to see what Hades would have done as ruler, but I think he may have been the only brother with the right temperament to deal with the land of the dead. Can you imagine them with switched kingdoms? Interesting ideas indeed...
- Lightbringer
@kinghunter74
Indeed. He is almost always portrayed as a villain and less like the nature process of life he represented. Hopefully, that will change.
@LIVING MYTHOLOGY
Unfortunately, I think you are right. He was most definitely the only brother out of the three who could have managed the underworld. Zeus is too easily driven by his inflated ego and self interests, and Poseiden is far too self absorbed and lazy to do the job. But the idea of them switching kingdoms, even temporarily, is fascinating. Poor Hades would flummoxed if he returned to the underworld. Mainly because his brothers would have been overwhelmed by the sheer responsibility that goes with that throne and ruined all his hard work. I look forward to further stories from both you, Lady Lighbringer, and Sir Baldermort. Keep up all the hard work 🤠
Hades has always been the greatest of the gods, and your glorious retelling of his story warms my heart. Thank you.
He a personal favourite of mine too - thank you for watching!!!
- Lightbringer
If hes your favorite get the history and Lineage right...father of Zeus...only 23 Years Older than his First Born. After 250 years that age distance seems negligible between father and son...thus the "brother" around the ladies...
@@samuelsantanajr.784 this is relevant... how?
@nicktitus4374 how can you claim Gods if you cant even get thier stories right...sometimes even thier names are wrong. Cant pray to a non existent God. Take Jesus for Example...Reincarnation of Zeus, the First Born...His name Never Jesus...it was Yeshua. Same Gods, different Incarnations. Zeus and Hades are as Much Brothers as Yeshua was with His Father who have the Same Spirits...RahUéL is Hades...Anubis...Arkillious...Telsa...XreXsiX...Dominous...even a Benjamin Franklin the Arkadian not English man
Hades is definitely my favorite of the 3 Brothers Kings. The smartest and kindest and possibly the best the gods could offer.
Hades is involved with you once you are dead, so he's never in your way when you're alive.
HOW!!!!!! in all the world of storytelling and narration, can you make the Underworld seem so amazing. Hades is not the brooding temper tantrum incarnate that we have seen countless times. The afterlife has fairness and beauty.
Simply amazing.
The script is second to none. The narration is impeccable as always.
In my increasing busy life, this is an immersive portal to a moment of just enjoying listening to talented people capturing the magic of a long forgotten era.
Simply amazing Light and Baldy.
Thank you for all your comments! We have a bit of a soft spot for Hades and the underworld, and his modern portrayals are all doom and gloom. So often made the bad guy simply because of his role as god of the dead, but the old myths don't have him as a bad guy really !
We are pleased to hear that it's immersive and enjoyable! Our goal is to create stories that help people relax and learn a little about myth, and its a joy to hear we are doing pretty well ! Thank you for watching!
- Lightbringer
I love that you portray Hades as perhaps the most responsible of the three. the one that takes his responsibilities seriously. He is Mighty and his realm Vast. I like that he is, in a very real way, Noble in bearing as well as in task. Too often is Hades portrayed as cruel and Miserly. Too often he is portrayed as the kidnapper of a daughter from her overbearing mother. Too often is he seen as a tyrant.
Given myths exist all over of Hades showing clemency, of bending the rules... justa little just enough to make that inevetable transition bearable. It is good to see him portrayed in a more fair light.
Thank you.
You're welcome, we agree that often he is shown to be clement, and merciful.
But thanks to the inaccurate disney portrayal and people's fear of death - he is often misjudged
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and watching! We appreciate it :)
Always good to see a familiar name in the comments
- Lightbringer
One of the best characterizations of Hades. Unlike many interpretations of him as a villain, this video demonstrates him as a just but fair God with a strong sense of justice, as he is portrayed in the ancient myths. You just earned a subscriber!
Thank you so much ! He is often misunderstood due to his domain being all about the dead but the myths do not show him as an evil villain that a lot of modern media tend to do! Thank you for joking us and we hope you enjoy all to come !
- Lightbringer
I never thought I would say that the tour of the underworld was quite warm and welcoming. I loved Hades in this telling, I watched this video multiple times, absolutely loved when Hades was being introduced to his court. Poseidon really gets the short end of the stick in terms of personality 😅. Love your videos, thank you again Lord and Lady, can’t wait for the next video
Thank you so much ! It's so great to hear you enjoyed it so much! We hope you enjoy the videos to come just as much!
(and do share your thoughts on them too! It's always a gift to hear what people think)
- Lightbringer
Hades seems so loyal and wise. Intending to forge a kingdom and build something good in the rich underworld wealthiest realm.
The Lady got a magnificent voice Truly gifted by God's
Thank you so much! I try my best :)
- Lightbringer
To this day, Hades remains my favorite god, and hearing your magnificent account of his mythology brings a smile to my face. I appreciate it.
Thank you so so much ! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for your continued support!
- Lightbringer
Thanks again Baldermort and Lady Lightbringer for more of your work. Hades is the one Olympian God who never seems to get the spotlight like Zeus so it's great to hear more of his background story in his kingdom. I look forward to more of your work and as ever Greetings from Kilkenny, R.O.I 🇮🇪
I got a funny feeling I'm going to end up in the fields of mourning when I kick off.😅
Thank you for watching Robert howe, we are fans of the underworld ruler, Hades too! He doesn't seem to get his due, but being ruler of the dead souls doesn't always win popularity points. Someone had to do it, and I'm glad you have enjoyed our interpretation - as always we appreciate the greetings from Kilkenny and send many back! :)

@@jamesclendenin431 Did you know that there are nine words to describe different kinds of love according to the ancient greeks? Philia, Pragma, Storge, Eros, Ludus, Mania, Philautia, Agape and Meraki (in Modern Greek) Love is everywhere in life - I'm sure you have more love than you know
- Lightbringer
@@livingmythology1405Mania being a form of love just makes so much sense. 😅
Hades isn't Olympian 😂😂
Finding this channel is a reward itself. Best mythical storytelling I have come across. Love and support your work!
Wow, thank you! that’s so kind! Thank you for your support and thank you for enjoying our work it means a lot to us!
- Lightbringer
For some mysterious reason all mortals in this century loves Hades.
It would be an honor Mr. Baldemort, if you yourself have been the narrator for Hades 2. It is always pleasant to hear your stories as I travel. 😁❤
With such an epic tale, we could get a much better anime for the revelation
Amazing video Baldermort and Lightbringer. I've always felt Hades was underestimated and misjudged as a God.
Thank you so much Donald Hudson! Hades is a personal favourite of mine too, it's been nice to show different sides to him.
- Lightbringer
Highly underrated channel.
I found the trip to be sublim and relaxing... Thank you and all who put effort in the making of this tale from man's history...😀😀😀
That's so wonderful to hear! And thank you so much, from the mini team of two that run living mythology!
- Lightbringer
I love this tale - Hades has always been a god who is grossly misunderstood. Rulership of the underworld was fated him, he obeyed and yet there is always more to his character than his reputation portrays
My full complements to @LivingMythology this was an eye opening revelation behind the story for the Zeus of the underworld - Hopefully a similar story to f honour, leniency and reason will be shed in the tale of how Hades had married Persephone
Always my favorite of the Greek gods, ones whose origins in real life are not even well understood, hades is a God, an idea, that may literally predate the rest of the pantheon itself. Thanks for covering it
Love it! The prospect of all the different mythological universes you two might narrate is sheer joy in anticipating!
Thank you for watching and commenting! We have many plans in the works :) I do hope you shall enjoy them too!
- Lightbringer
Fantastic and enlightening Hades not evil but a concerned God doing his job
Baldemort's soothing voice.... Love it.
I use to love Poseidon when I was younger but as I matured HADES!!!! became one of my favorite Greek gods
Hades. My favorite of the pantheon. I hope you consider telling the story of he and Persephone.
We hope to get to it one day- yes!
I like Hades the most. The video was amazing, as always. Thumb up from me 👍
He's just a cool chill god - Thank you so much Spruce woods :)
- Lightbringer
Hades, the most underrated greek god.
so true
- Lightbringer
It’s great to see you be able to expand on the personalities of the gods, so much must’ve been lost to time
Our thoughts exactly - a shame to lose knowledge, but we make do with all the information we can find, and fill in the gaps ourselves. Bring some story back to old myths :)
- Lightbringer
Good Lord Baldy, I could listen to her voice all day. A unique package of vocal qualities. Either channel, the topic is secondary to her performances. You and she make an outstanding team, keep it coming 👏⭐️👍
This is an amazing video. I hope you will soon do one with Hades and Persephone.
Hades my BOI!
the best boi
- Lightbringer
@@livingmythology1405 Can't wait until we get to Persephone.
Greetings lady LB, it’s a pleasure to see lord hades to such a beautiful and accurate representation. You’ve once more succeeded in making me cry from happiness. My warmest congratulations and best regards. I would be glad to have a myth conversation.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting - to hear our work has affected you so deeply is a delight. Thank you for appreciating it, and supporting us - it truly means a lot- I hope you enjoy the work to come just as much!

@@livingmythology1405 I most certainly will,provided that it’s produced by you,because now I fully trust you to bring forth stellar content. Also I’ve to ask,which Olympian do you identify with? Hades has always been a personal favorite,because like anyone,he’s not stainless,but he genuinely cares for people,as seen in multiple instances.
@@manosbouzoubouzou1386 We shall do our best to continue to bring the best stories we can!
And it's so hard to choose! I have multiple favourites, as I'm sure baldermort does also, but its hard to pick!
And researching gods, over and over, trying to see their perspectives always brings a new appreciation for each one! I love them all for different reasons!
@@livingmythology1405 Understood. I hope you and everyone else has a great day. Give Baldy my kindest regards, and have a wonderful Easter of you celebrate that is.
@@manosbouzoubouzou1386 I shall! And we all send our warmest regards right back! Happy spring time/holidays! No matter what you celebrate! :)
Hades is the best of the gods. He is a great ruler. A part of the primordial order.
10:38
Though this depends on iteration. Other depictions have those souls wonder for one hundred years before they are allowed to cross the river.
Edit: At 11:48 It's addressed.
Glad to see that he definitely considered it to be an issue in the future because even though it would be only a few in the beginning, eventually it will grow and grow. Not to mention there are over 8 billion people alive today who would eventually die and an estimated 100 billion people who had ever lived and died.
It wasn't only compassion but practicality as well that the comprise was made.
I always perferred Hades, because of the three brothers he was the one who never for forced himself on innocent mortal women and then leave them to suffer the consequence. Even his wife Persephone is a goddess and his judgments was always fair.
As always what a wonderful tale. Thank you all very much for the amazing stories. This was great.
And thank you for watching and enjoying it! It is a gift to share our tales and have them be loved by others :)

Cheers Lightbringer & Baldermort, the underworld is one of my favourite subjects in mythology. Many thanks from Co. Wicklow 🇮🇪
It is so fascinating - it's one of my personal favourite subjects too! We send many thanks back to you in co.wicklow IE for watching and commenting! :)
-Lightbringer
This is beautiful and enlightening depiction of myths and the story of Hades
Another incredible take on the Gods! Loved it so much!
Ah, Hades, so necessary, so bad-mouthed, so misunderstood. Poor fella. At least he gets Persephone for six months each year. Love the characterization you give everyone!
Hope the jokes are any good. Trying to feed the algorythim so the stories take off and you finally get past the 10k threshold.
Thank you again for tuning in and commenting David Cortes. your continued support means a lot to us! And your jokes are so funny! please continue to share them, they always make me laugh :)
Hades is quite the misunderstood character we feel, and we're so happy you and others agree!

Hell yeah, these episodes are great.
This was beautiful, and an actual accurate portrayal. Thank you. Well done
An excellent depiction of Hades. Loving yalls work

Another great work about one of if not the most misunderstood/misrepresented god.
I hope yall plan to cover beyond Greek because this format is absolutely amazing. Baldemort is a win, content is a win, sry i dont know the other voices but great job as well. This channel will be huge mark my words.
That's the plan!
Hi - I'm Lightbringer - the other voice on this channel! Thank you for your kind words!
We are working on a new religion and set of gods currently!

How much sense it makes❤ this one makes me want to learn more of the old ways... i love the lord of the uw❤
He is pretty cool
- Lightbringer
Another great story. Giving us a different account of how things happened.
Hades was also known to be the most handsome of the 3 brothers. A fact that often gets lost in our modern depictions of him
How fascinating! I would love to read about that - do you perhaps have some resources or links?
- Lightbringer
@@livingmythology1405 There are a couple of scripts and texts that say this from what I know. I should probably ask the guy I heard it from (another mythology buff) if he has any sources
That would be lovely ! I just love to learn new stuff :)
- Lightbringer
This story gives a totally different perspective of Hades.
His myths often show what kind of god he is - not quite the evil villain that a lot of versions like to portray
- Lightbringer
I hate how media represents him as a villain.
In my opinion, Hades got a better deal. He has an undead army filled with the best warriors that ever lived!
Yes, there's definitely something to be said about the way media paints any gods that are related to 'death' as evil....
Hades isn't even responsible for death- that's Thanatos - he is god of the dead. It doesn't make sense why he'd want to take over Olympus - he's already super busy hahah
- Lightbringer
This is why a lot of references to Hades call him "chill." He's the least obnoxious of all his kin, aside from maybe Hestia.
Also gets to govern the best servants in any of the realms.
Yeah and when it comes to Myths - he doesn't start as much trouble as his brothers!
He's too busy actually ruling and taking care of the spirits of the dead haha
- Lightbringer
@@livingmythology1405
"Hey Hades, why don't you have a bunch of illegitimate kids?"
"I have a job. You do too, if you didn't notice."
Fantastic 🖤💀👏🏽
Thank you!!
- Lightbringer
I would love to hear the story of him and Persephone!!
Excellent job. HADES needs more attention, and I Cannot help but to Have my thoughts turn towards Neil Gaimans SANDMAN , for Lord Hades and Lord Morpheus, Dream of the Endless, DO SHARE MANY LIKENESSES AND Seem to HAVE THE SAME SOCIAL GROUP OF FRIENDS!! LOL...😂😂
But When Hades Called The Fates...The Furies...The Kindly Ones...oh My Goodness Lord Baldy and The Bringer of Light, my eyes sparkled and my lips cracked a smile....Truly such BLESSEDLY DARK SHADOWS ARE PORTENTS OF A WELCOME MAT FOR A RAVEN GUARD!!!
ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR THIS CHANNEL!! YOU DO DARK HADES PROUD!!
Morpheus is the name of one of the oneiroi in greek mythology - the personified dreams - although sandman Morpheus is far more akin to a mix of hades and hypnos.
I am glad you noticed my use of the Furies nickname ' The kindly ones' - very good spot there friend! We're very happy to hear you enjoyed our tale!!! Thank you for watching and commenting!

Low key wanna make an Apollo and Hades sammich chiiiile 🥵❤️
“They call me evil. Villain. The Devil. But the joke is on them. For I don’t care what they call me. I don’t care what they think of me. I have a duty to fulfill, and such petty things can not detract me from responsibilities.
All Gods have a duty to the world for we are bound to it and it’s people. But only *I* take it seriously. Only *I* don’t treat the world like my playground and the mortals as my playthings.
I am firstborn of Kronos and eldest of the Olympians. Cheated out of my birthright by my own family, my own siblings! Yet I got the most important job of all, dispite no one knowing it. For in the hands of any of the lesser mature Gods I call my family, the dead would flood the world of the living.
So let them spew their lies. Let them believe their falsehoods. It makes no difference nor matters not to me. After all…” *sly smirk* “All become my subjects eventually.”

Hes Awesome!❤
I'm unsure if it's answered in the video, but after I found out Tartarus is not only a place but an entity; I was curious about Hades relationship with his great uncle, the underdark itself. are the distant, or does he give Hades council on occasion?
A good question - I shall have to delve into more research to answer with true confidence. - I shall get back to you soon on this matter :)

All he has to do is unleash all the titans in the underworld including Ty phone vs gods hades stomps all of yhem
Christian God: It's cool and all, but have you thought about giving it 9 levels of torture that will be rumoured to be coupled with beautiful women with horns, each level worse than the last and fitting to the crimes committed in life? And 9 levels of redemption? How about 7 levels of purity to go see your brother?
Poseidon would be the absolute worst at this job, which is why the fates ensured he didn’t choose it.
That was definitely cool. There were concepts In this story that I didn't know existed back then. This IS a retelling, right? Or is it a purely fabricated story based on the mythology?
There are few actually fully complete translations of most tales. Nor do the many tales connect. Too many traditions involved in Greek mythology. We do the best we can to take the most important elements of the strongest throughlines in the traditions. It isn't cohesive. All of the sources disagree. So, yes and yes. It is fabricated, not extended quotes form one tradition. Yes, it is a retelling.
Nobody from our time will ever truly know how these religions worked. Its been too long.
But eventually, the videos are for light entertainment and to get people to explore the mythologies themselves. |This gives them a starting point for their own journey. Nothing more.
