Description: Here's to those of you who really enjoyed the Odyssey series. Follow Odysseus from the sack of Troy through Hades and back, to return to Penelope and Telemacus in his kingdom in Ithaca. I like the idea of really long videos that you can watch over multiple nights, so if that's you too, I hope you can enjoy this one. Thanks for watching, guys.

As someone who thoroughly enjoys nearly every video I've watched so far from this channel, whom did NOT dislike the video... I think in all frank honesty it's because of the multiple vocal tone changes and the initial harsh high frequency of the tin roof rain sounds. Personally love the video though. I think some people just dislike videos before they get through enough of it to find they actually enjoy it very much.

[@juliarust4909]

@@LetsFindOut1 I have to say that I feel exactly the same as Irena Tomic, especially watching this video since my mom always read childversions of many of the greek myths when I was little and couldn't sleep. So I am so grateful for this video, I feel like a little girl again safe and comfy. Which has helped so much this last year since I moved away from home last fall, to another city to study. So that safe feeling has really ment everything to me. So thank you.

Not only do you have a great voice for ASMR, your intelligence, articulate use of language ("disarming sleepiness") and sly, slightly blue humor are all a delight.

[@MsShellectable]

You read the comments! I'm honored. Considering your interest in these myths, you might enjoy Madeline Miller's two brilliant novels, Circe and Song of Achilles. They walked me into the tales of the Trojan War and Circe's life on her island and her time with Odysseus.

[@piccolo6590]

Just discovered this channel tonight and omg I'm already a huge fan. Never have I seen an ASMR channel that incorporates education/reading into it. Really unique and enjoyable

[@TEDO02]

This is my favorite asmr video. Not only because of the asmr experience but the way you guide us through the story with the soft sound fx, the humming, the music, it helped a lot to visualize the story. I'm actually Greek, and this was a story that we were taught in school, and this was actually one of my favorite stories when I was a child. Thanks to you, Rich. I was able to relieve this childhood memory.

[@LetsFindOut1]

[@cadencejulian9218]

The singing at 1:43:00 was in my dream and it was absolutely terrifying. I woke up w heart palpitations.🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve seen this video so many times and have never felt that sort of fear.

[@thecourierNCR]

Yea it’s already kind of creepy just on its own, with added context (which your brain probably filled in), unconsciousness, and all that reverb he put on it, this was not a good choice for a video meant to be listened to as the viewer falls asleep, thanks for the warning.

[@txbzzerl]

I still come back to this video, it's such a calming vibe and helps me fall asleep

[@txbzzerl]

Update: still here

[@5ynthesizerpatel]

I had to learn latin and classical greek when I was at school - it was pretty tedious at first, although later I came to appreciate their value - but in the beginning we had one lesson a week of free reading on the subject, where we were free to read any book we liked from the library about Roman and Hellenic history and culture in order to give us a broader appreciation of the language we were learning (if only education worked like this nowadays). This was when I discovered the Greek myths, and I've loved them ever since

[@soggypencils7341]

I woke up to you reading this 2 hours in, but boy I had the strangest dream while my brain listened to you subconsciously.

Watching this so many times over, gives me a great appreciation for your audio reading ability. I sincerely hope that you continue to read more old stories and mythologies. I have thoroughly enjoyed the fact that you go through the effort of telling this story with character voices and tones. Keep up the good work!

Wow thats awesome feedback. Thanks azza!

[@titustavares335]

My dad passed away two years ago, and when I was little he’d read to me. We must have read so many stories together. But my all time favorite was the odyssey. I remember my dads voice so clearly. You kinda sound like him, at least in the way you read the book. Anyway, awesome video man.

[@LetsFindOut1]

[@angelinadokos4403]

The dipping in and out of whispering is so nice. Excited to hear/sleep you tell the rest of my ancestors story this evening

[@Deukish]

A little fyi with Hyperion/Helios/Apollo confusion. Hyperion was a Titan (brother of Cronus) and father of Helios (the actual sun god), the book is a bit incorrect in calling him the sun god, Hyperion more represented the abstracts of light (wisdom and so on). Originally Helios and Apollo (just like with Selene and Artemis) were separate deities but sometime during the Hellenistic period they became "conjoined" (Romans still kept the separate though).

[@folkmetalmiss]

Not gonna lie, I have no idea which ASMR channel led me to this one but... this is literally my new favorite. Im a huge history/literature nerd, and your voice is so damn good. I fell right to sleep after 10 min every time.

[@marjankian]

The story with rain in background, amazing

[@Swinsl]

I remember reading this a few years back in my sophomore year of high school. One of those stories that I feel like the majority of the class either barely grasped or just flat out didn't understand what was happening. I understood to a degree what was happening (most of the time, at least) and thought it was extremely interesting. Being forced to read it definitely took away from the experience, but I still enjoyed it. I thought the story was very captivating and the fact that it has lasted as long as it has is mindblowing to me, although it may be a situation like the Bible, where it's been translated many times by different people and has lost some of the original meaning. All in all, still incredible to me. Love your content, have fallen asleep countless times to your astronomy videos and as someone with insomnia, I can't thank you enough for what I do.
