Narcissus and Echo || Mythology w/ Dael Kingsmill

[@Smurfomancer]

Without at doubt, my favourite story you've ever told is the tale of Thor's Epic Beer Run. Absolutely hilarious.

[@gracesmith9851]

Forgot about the Norse ones! The wedding with Eimer (forgot how to spell that) was great too.

[@thelittlerfish]

Gods bless the archivers.

[@JMcMillen]

It sounds like she still has copies of the original videos, hence the remark about not being able to just re-upload them to her personal channel. She'll just have to remake them so they can't try to claim her content.

[@ShankarSivarajan]

@@JMcMillen Yes, but at 11:00, she says that she's lost the list of titles as well.

[@strangemonarchist2818]

THANK YOU! We love you @Brian Monaghan!

[@Madhattersinjeans]

@@thelittlerfish The only reason we still have access to older videos is down to archivers. They're so important to keeping this kind of information out there. It's a problem with youtube in general, if you don't own the rights to your content it's going to be deleted or removed at some point in future. And eventually everyone will forget that content ever existed. There really is no good way to keep this kind of information around except on hard drives or uploading the content to google and hoping that company will still be around in 50-100 years. Given the lifespan of most companies it's fair to say eventually even that information will be lost to time.

[@StubbornProgrammer]

What a great example to set - G&S delivers lemons, Dael ramps up lemonade production.

[@crabbit2397]

It was G & S that brought me here, and here I still am. Your story telling has improved over the years, but it's always been quite good. Thanks for revisiting these classic myths.

[@ashleyhoughton8592]

Echo's story is the most tragic out of all of these. I'm just imagining a greek kid shouting in a canyon like 'why does my voice keep coming back like that?' Then some dusty old grandma coming in like... "Well, well, well... Let's get the tears going and put a stop to this fun!"

[@gracesmith9851]

My favs: Pandora’s box, Io, Posidon’s search dor a city to patron, the whole beginning story, Medusa, Heracles, the Seven against Thebes, Oedipus. Soo many!

[@magecraft2]

Seems a little naughty of G&S I guess it all changed after they got bought up, but hey silver lining retold story time with Dael :)

[@RecklessFables]

Glad Critical Role escaped that channel and started their own.

[@magecraft2]

@@RecklessFables Was a good channel just got bought out by people they trusted but they in turn got bought out :) by money men.

[@nymalous3428]

Money men who don't seem to be very smart, after all, if they just leave the videos up, they get some views, they keep some people happy, and it's no skin off their noses. On the other hand, they had to do actual work, which costs actual money, to change the status of those videos...

[@BBKitsuneExperiment]

Dionysus without a doubt. Loads of great stories about him. Earthquakes, Maenads, Pirates turning into Dolphins, teaching some people how to make wine and getting pissed when they hang the girl he taught it to (that has somehow become a thing/celebration?) So many good tales about him!

[@lycanAbyss]

Would love to hear some more Norse mythology. Thor and Loki going to the giant city has always been one of my personal faves.

[@liamcullen3035]

Oh no, they’ve disappeared!? 😢 That’s a bummer, I very much enjoyed those, and your drawings of the scenes! Looking forward to the stories being told anew, though! 😁

[@TheRubberDuck77]

you might be able to use the website "the way back machine" it has saved snapshots of all kinds of websites

[@hotscottrulz]

Bumping this because WayBack has been a goddamn lifesaver for me in the past!

[@Knightmare_69]

I could listen to you hours on end. Greek Mythology is interesting enough, but I bet you could read a phone book and I'd still listen happily. Amazing voice, too ;-)

[@TheMimiSard]

I am reminded of a story I read at some point, I think it was in an anthology of fantasy stories specifically meant to be about female characters. It was a "feminist" take on this tale. It portrayed Narcissus as being extremely fond of nature to the point of preferring flowers and trees far more than humans, and when someone fell so in love that he took Narcissus a bunch of flowers, but that offended Narcissus terribly - I mean when a young man who thinks flowers are better than humans is presented with a bundle of his torn, slightly crushed and dying friends... you can imagine how peeved he was. However the result of this rejection offended a local priestess, Echo, who took it upon herself to punish Narcissus for his cruelty, using her ability to throw her voice, and the prophetic warning given about not letting Narcissus see his own reflection. So yeah, it was a story that actually put the power in the hands of Echo instead.

[@cacklebarnacle15]

My all time favourite is Thor's Wedding. The drawings of Thor in a wedding dress added greatly to the hilarity.

[@Antihaxman]

11:44 made my whole day..

[@JacksonOwex]

OH! Been wondering about that! I only more recently found the channel, pretty sure Matt Colville mentioned you and I came because when that man says something is good I know it's gonna be GREAT!

[@rashkavar]

Wait, so now I get to watch redone versions of all your old mythology content and the ad revenue doesn't go to the vultures of geekdom? That sounds like a win aside from the part where you're spending a bunch of time redoing that instead of whatever you would be doing with that time. (Even if it's not channel related; happy youtubers are better youtubers)

[@alexanderlundberg5644]

Oh no, lost videos is the worst. The saddest part is losing the unpredictable things that happened, like in the Erysichthon video when you were given ice cream in the middle and decided that it was thematic to eat while telling the story. Your video about Arachne is one of my absolute favourite mythology stories told by you, and I would love a remake of it.

[@TheLastVampireSong]

Doodles!!! Put the doodles!!!! And I would love the Osiris/Isis story of mummies!

[@warriorcatskid003]

Yay more myths! Your DnD content is great but myths are more my jam!

[@MissJellyPickle]

Yeeeees I looove your videos, that's how I started watching you, I know all of this stories already but I love the way you tell them

[@kf10147]

I love adding variations in the stories from different sources. That said I would love to see a retelling of Medusa's creation with the modern idea that her curse was actually to protect her from men. Thanks for another great video!

[@austinsebben1402]

I remember Nemesis personally enchanting that pool in a version, we don't see Nemesis a lot

[@blinddoctorwho]

Hello Dael, I was wondering since you would be retelling some of the mythology tales maybe there could be a video where you take the Greek deities(or any deities. Whatever floats your Argo.) of what MBTI personality types they have in your opinion and why you made those comparisons. Love seeing you back on here again.

[@rwolfheart6580]

I'd love to see your take on Oedipus and his family

[@Timby_]

New method of rejection is sending the sword emoji. Thanks Dael

[@gracesmith9851]

Loved that old vid. Love this one too.

[@alchemyarts3490]

Love your telling of this myth! 💜🙏🏼🖤👀 💕

[@YuOfOwari22]

Yay! Sorry about your videos but I am looking forward to the 2.0 versions. :D

[@farmerboy916]

That's unfortunate and a bit mood ruining to hear that a bunch of old favorites were deleted tbh, but I'm also just having a grouchy day. Maybe I'll come back another day and start after that part.

[@altromonte15]

I feel like Narcissus premise would make for an interesting character: a PC that can't see his own reflection, and if they do bad things happen. not "become a douchebag", but accidents or curses of some kind. Maybe they would keep their own weapons always covered in dirt, enter into buildings with their eyes closed, keep away from lakes and rivers, could be interesting.

[@mordiveer5957]

Mythology is my jam! Cant wait for more!

[@Dresnat]

Your Ragnarok story was one of my favorites. Hearing that again would be pretty rad.

[@Dresnat]

Hela rad, perhaps

[@daviddevine6737]

More like Narsissy lol. I feel this knowledge levelled up the nerd inside me.

I love how you have a way with words. Listening to your stories is so peaceful :)

[@SMWarri0r]

I feel like I've heard this story before...before...before...

[@MacbethCreative]

Your videos are my favorite.

[@klia27]

I don't think I've ever seen a narcissus, so I didn't know that the flowers dropped down. Now why the flower was named after him makes SO much more sense (mythology-wise) Sucks that you lost so many videos, but I am existed to see the new "remakes" that you create :D

[@garvinanders2355]

I'm sorry you lost those videos but I appreciate you seeing the silver lining! I gotta point out that Hera did try to punish Zeus once. Turns out Zeus is King of the gods for a reason and hung Hera upside down from Olympus until everyone begged him to calm down. Hera quickly learned that Zeus was out of her weight class and never tries to get at him again. Poor lady.

[@RebelstarDawn]

Was Finn MacCool's story on G&S? I loved that one, especially the little illustrations :D His name is forever burned into my mind.

[@Ikifoo]

What confuses me most are the G&S vlogs that are still available - I can't figure out the pattern to what got kept. Did Kevin MacLeod sue somebody or what?

[@MonarchsFactory]

My theory is that they kept: a) everything on the front page coz they don't want it to look empty, and b) anything that is still likely to pull in views from searches? Maybe? Two of my surviving ones are certainly my most SEO friendly

[@MightyMage2]

Think I remember you did one with dragons, which I wouldn't mind seeing a redo of that one, with your new knowledge ☺

[@morgannyhan6875]

Awh man I always go back and rewatch your old Geek and Sundry vlogs channel videos😭😭

[@fittyJackson]

Finn McCool! I can only imagine that I've misspelled the name, but that story is so wonderful. Really, as long as you're making videos, I'll be greedily watching them.

[@FirstnameLastname-kn5sw]

0:58 Hey, man, can't improve on perfection.

[@ottie8554]

Love your videos! Stumbled on them looking up some stuff on asclepius and now I'm hooked! Have you got any recommendations on books for someone who is new to mythology and wants to dig into some short stories?

[@ShankarSivarajan]

A trick you might not know: if you search for the video ID ("7EVx8V8Vbww" for this one), you can usually find the name of the video it referred to, even if the video has been removed/"privatted."

[@michaelsommers2356]

I'm very glad you're back; you were away so long I was starting to get worried. I know you were traveling, but still ... Your storytelling can't get any better than it was, because it was already perfect. I do hope you bring back your wonderful drawings, though. Regarding copyright, I assume you were a contractor, not an employee, so, unless you signed something transferring copyright, you still own the videos (under US law). You might also want to recheck your contract to see if there were any conditions under which the copyright reverts to you (assuming it was legally transferred in the first place). Again, I'm very glad you're back, and I look forward to many new (old) myths.

[@C.Noble13]

20/20 in a Nutshell 💗 Narcissists and Echoes 😅 June is Narcissistic abuse awareness... Children of narcissistic parents.

[@imkluu]

Yay, another myth telling by the beautiful and talented Dael. That is kind of a douche thing that Geek and Sundry did with your videos. they should at least give you access to them. I hope in repeating your myth telling you can use your old drawings, or make new ones, if need be. I loved your drawings. They were very good, fitting your style, and humorous.

[@Magnesium02]

Some of my favourite myths are the ones used to 'explain' natural things like why echos echo and why sunflowers tilt their heads to follow the sun and stuff like that.

[@wildbronco038]

Yeah I know some of the other “vintage” G&S shows like Sword and Laser had the same thing happen with their videos too

[@brittanyolenick2252]

Time to get back to your roots a bit~ To be honest, I am more than happy to hear your new-and-improved versions of the myths! :D While it may have been rude of G&S to take them all down without warning, I will consider it a positive, and an incentive to experience all the great stories you tell all over again~

[@DeusViator]

Sucks that G&S have been removing all of their old content. They didn't exactly treat you guys well when they ended the vlogs either. That said, I can resend you the materials for the Dragon of Wantley stuff if you're wanting to redo that one at all.

[@darthapple87]

I don't know if it was part of your previous mythology series on G&S since I only recently found you. But would you tell the stories of Ariadne and Atalanta? Maybe also Eurydice and Orpheus?

[@strangemonarchist2818]

Hey, could you please give us "Thor's Beer Run" again? That was my favorite Norse myth that you've covered so far! Thank you! Much love from Oklahoma!

[@leenick0615]

I loved your seven against thebes video!! That and the apple of discord/trojan war video!! Those are my favorites from the g+s vlog they were so good!

[@jessmith7324]

Love your stuff. Keep it up

[@scook9999]

I believe Hera would more than love having her hubby tragically die in an "accident". However, Zeus and his two brother did take down the Titans, so easier to ruin the nubile maidens and any offspring. When I was a child, I had a book of mythos, and a good story is Tristan and Isolde. Never saw you on G&S, but that's a good one to tell.

[@michaelhutchisson8948]

I find this good news. I'm looking forward to your mythologies.

[@Tuskbumper]

[@connierule3902]

[@horizon241]

Do you have any interest in Finnish mythology? I'd be interested in your telling of parts of the Kalevala epic (especially the Kullervo parts), as some of it has parallels to certain Greek mythologies like this one. Thanks for your great videos!

[@MonarchsFactory]

I got a copy of it for Christmas and am loving it! Do you have a favourite runo?

[@nymalous3428]

Grandma's not real big on Greek mythology, although I think she knows the story. In one version I heard, Narcissus didn't die for a while, he would leave the pool to go and hunt and do other things that life required, but kept finding himself drawn back to the pool more and more. Echo hung around the pool, knowing that Narcissus would keep returning. He would sit and gaze at the pool for hours in silence, only breaking the quiet to say, "I love you," to the reflection, at which point Echo would murmur, "I love you," the only time she could say what she truly felt. (And sorry to hear about your "locked" playlist, that really stinks. I hope you can at least get access to the videos long enough to get the information you want.)

[@valkyrieanduril1345]

I only watched D&S for Dael anyway. I hope she does a lot more retellings 🍭🦖🎸

[@joaomrtins]

Is there any Australian folklore video in your channel?

[@jacobarcher5689]

Narcissus would be thrilled to find out we have a word named after him.

[@denolaj]

I’m not sure if it was part of the G&S series, but I liked King Arthur’s Hairdressing Adventures.

[@warriorcatskid003]

I can still access the Ragnarok video (best telling ever) from the vlogs channel if I search it.

[@MonarchsFactory]

I believe Ragnarok, Atlantis and Sisyphus are the only videos of mine they haven't made private -- Ragnarok and Atlantis likely because they are highly search engine optimised to still bring in views, Sisyphus probably because they don't want the front page of the channel to look empty.

[@KiriCallaghan]

So THAT'S where I left that pin...

[@MonarchsFactory]

[@michaelsommers2356]

Have you read Stephen Fry's _Mythos?_

[@edwardnigma9756]

I kind of prefer Pausanias' version. It would also make sense that people trying to seduce him whilst he is trying to mourn his sister would be inappropriate and make him lash out such as in the incident of the sword. Then he tries to lose the posse in the woods so he can have a moment in the woods to himself to be able to mourn alone. I think I might use a slight variation on this in my RPG campaign.

[@socialistshirker]

Ok, this is probably stupid as hell, but how about we change a few things and say that his parents fed him some kind of drug or potion that blinded him, though not physically. He's blind his entire life, so he gets hopelessly lost in the forest. Echo finds him and falls in love with him. He asks for guidance and water, and she leads him to Aphrodite's silver pool or whatever. He drinks, it cures his eyesight, and he sees himself for the very first time.
