GREEK MYTHOLOGY: Orpheus and Eurydice - A Mortal Journey into the Underworld

[@Samon187]

Finally a full one - I really hate shorts but the long ones are absolutely marvelous 😊🎉

[@livingmythology1405]

Thank you for watching the long stories - they're what we really care about! I hate shorts too but it's one of the only ways we can try to reach new people, and if we don't get numbers up - we might have to shut the channel down! - Lightbringer

​@@livingmythology1405I like a thorough story.

[@Tyr1991]

God, I love these stories of myth so much. This was one of my favorite Greek myths and one of the first they taught us in school. It offers another inspirational tale of tragic love and shows us another side of Hades/Persephone. I hope the next Greek myth tells the tale of Daedelus and Icarus. If not I hope we might revisit the Norse mythology and a reexamination of Loki and his children. I kind of think Loki’s character is sometimes misunderstood like Hades is at times. Anyway, great work!

[@livingmythology1405]

Thank you so so much! It is a fascinating one !! And all great suggestions I will add to the list!! - Lightbringer

​@@livingmythology1405you hit this story right out of the park.

[@mtp3920]

OMG!!! How beautifully you narrated this story even to the point where I teared up near the end! You’re so good!! Thank you.

[@livingmythology1405]

Wow, thank you so much! I'm glad you felt touched by the tale! - Lightbringer

​@@livingmythology1405why isn't Apollo his father not speaking?

[@coreylugauer2369]

Ah, the classic tale of Orpheus, the Argonaut who journeyed to the Underworld, all for the sake of love! A very bittersweet, very Greek story! Showing it from the perspective of the gods was an interesting touch. I loved the shift in moods, from joy and love, to sorrow and grief, to epic determination! You made this story have so many feelings, and as always, very excellent dialogue.

[@livingmythology1405]

Thank you very kindly! We try to make it a fun journey - even the sad tales! - Lightbringer

[@ronaldmccomb8301]

A really good job, Baldermort as you could hear the pride Calliope felt, then her sorrow. The absolute definition of Greek tragedy.

[@livingmythology1405]

Thank you so much my friend! - Lightbringer

[@RavenIdril2966]

I've heard when Orpheus died he was reunited with eurydice.

[@rexboaden1441]

Inspired, the best and most memorable retelling of this “myth” I have ever heard. ❤ Perhaps death does not have the last word after all …. 🙏🏽

[@deltatea3192]

A sad story of trust. Not just in Eurydice but also trust in Hades being honest. So close yet so far.

[@livingmythology1405]

Very true my friend - Lightbringer

[@DanielAppleton-lr9eq]

The story of Izanagi & Izanami is almost VERBATIM similar. I THINK there is a video of it on YT.

[@DanielAppleton-lr9eq]

@@livingmythology1405 I did an art piece with Orpheus & Eurydice. I think that I'll do another after this. One could say that I was INSPIRED.

I’m actually going to see Hadestown in a few days. I hope it’s going to be good. (For those who don’t know, Hadestown is a Great Depression Era retelling of this myth.) Wish me luck when I see it.

I dreamt I was in Orpheus shoes last year and when i woke up my ex girlfriend was dead and im wobdering how many times ive been through this in past lives and how many times i will have to fail before i save her. I think its karma for all the women who lost their husbands too soon in war. Please make a video about Jason and the Argonauts. I love this channel

I am a singer too prehaps were all moe connected and as we are carried by life we change slightly nut never fully as i have a natural talent to sing and compise lyrics they tell me i inherit it from the angelic realms

[@emilytheweirdo4752]

Hey there,the contents of your channel seems really interesting! Just as a humble suggestion,do you mind telling retelling stories from other cultures (such as Hindu mythology) as well instead of just European ones? Or stories from cultures that are lesser known? That would be very much appreciated!

[@livingmythology1405]

Great suggestion - however we are working on greek and norse currently, we hope to expand further when we can - but the channel is still small with only a team of two. We hope to branch out when we're bigger though! - Lightbringer

[@Hopesfallout]

Awesome storytelling. However, I'd appreciate it if you looked up the most likely pronunciation of some of these names. It doesn't require much research. In the case of Eurydice, it's closer to A-u-r-e-d-e-k-eh :)

[@livingmythology1405]

Thank you - And I did try to look it up, but every video I checked had it pronounced the way I said! I am so sorry - if you have a reliable and accurate resource to help with pronunciation - I'd love to see it! The videos I've used have been very unhelpful it seems! - Lightbringer

Wasn't Orpheus one of the Argonauts? Ahh yes. Yes he was

[@itskailiana9301]

The voice acting and narration you produce has always been excellent. Always so believable and full of life. But in this story it was simply outstanding. I could have been listening to the Goddess herself. Through powerful imagery and narration, i felt I was on this journey with Orpheus, sharing in his joy at the wedding as much as the pain of his loss in death. The anxiety of every step through the underworld made my eyes water.. it felt more than i was just being told a story. It has been a long time i have been this invested and moved in a story. You have outdid yourselves! Bravo! Keep up the suprb work! 5* ♡

[@livingmythology1405]

Thank you so so much! We try to get better and better and better! It's wonderful to know that it moved you, that you felt this tale, as we intended :) Thank you for watching! - Lightbringer
