Ares: "I bet I can threaten Hephaestus." Athena: "I bet I can reason with Hephaestus." Aphrodite: "I bet I can charm Hephaestus." Dionysus: "...I bet that blacksmith is THIRSTY!"
Ares? The "Golden Son"? Zeus literally told Ares to his face that were he not Zeus' own son, he would have been thrown off Olympus and shunned by all the other gods of Olympus. I'd hardly call that a golden child.
Hephaestus’ perspective here. So yes, he would have said that about a son sent to him. Trying to be clever, you betray your inability to listen or emote. Context is all.
Thank you so much Alex - great to see you in the comments again and thank you for your continued support! It means the world to us! Tell your students we say hi ! - Lightbringer
Thank you for watching and commenting again Uncle Iroh- we've always wanted to make it feel real, alive again once more! It's wonderful to know we're hitting the mark! - Lightbringer
This? The confrontation between mother and child? Given my own ups and downs with my family? It hit at the heart of me. Dionysius asking the most telling question even the goddess of Wisdom herself hadn't. 'Why didn't you make it kill her if you hate her so?' Because... for all my own hurt and heartache and feeling like there will never be a resolution where i am seen as having worth beyond what I can do or offer? That is still my family and I still love them. Beautifully rendered, the both of you.
Thank you for watching again my friend! Family is a complicated thing, and one that is not chosen. Some say family is above all, but it should not be that way if family is a detriment to oneself. For family must treat each other with kindness and respect, just as any human should treat another human. Hera was only forgiven when she admitted wrong doing, apologised, and worked to make it up to Hephaestus. But they have eternity to do so - gods and their immortal life spans! Still we are happy to hear you enjoyed the video my friend! Until next time! - Lightbringer
Hephaestus has to be one the most tragic gods in the entire pantheon. Abandoned and crippled at birth for the simple crime of being ugly shows that Hera is more like her father than she ever dares to admit. Hephaestus's anger and rage are justified. Though I will say, he is a better being than me. I would never have been able to forgive her. Hephaestus is personally my favorite Olympian next to Hades.
Thank you for watching and commenting again Zachariah! Hephaestus has a very tragic tale, but is an incredible god - Hera is quite cruel. But gods live far longer than we do, what is twenty years in the face of millennia? I like to think Hephaestus had Hera work to regain his trust and then love over hundreds of years! But that isn't really mentioned in the old myths. - Lightbringer
You bring up amazing points. Humans are capable of holding grudges for years. But gods are eternal; truly immortal. I don't think any being, regardless of the crime, could hold on to such a grudge until the end of time. I certainly hope that Hephaestus, the greatest craftsman and artist amongst the gods, made her work for that forgiveness. Keep up the wonderful work, Lady Lightbringer, and give my best regards to Sir Baldermort and Lady Baldermort 🤠
More like Ouranos actually. He was disgusted by the appearance of the Cyclopes and the Hecantonchires that he imprisoned them deep in the Earth. Hera's father more of feared them for their raw destructive power.
You know. This reminds me of my relationship with my mother a bit. She loved me in her way but never paid me much attention. Funnily enough Rickets isn't all fun and games 😅
@livingmythology1405 I did very much so. Don't be too sorry though. I've got my aunt and grandmother and they more than make up for it, even if sometimes they annoy me to hell and back. XD
You're so good at reanimating emotions in the face of adversities and crisis. Another banger guys, I can only guess where to next. Maybe Ares and the missus in an inescapable net after their infidelity was discovered?? Nice one guys. Until the next one!
Thank you so much! We try to put ourselves in each of their shoes - and it seems to all make more sense after that - And in time that shall perhaps be a part two to Hephaestus's revenge ... - Lightbringer
"I fell on earth...injured and alone" "I walked all the way back home, laughing" "He asked me if I could ever forgive...I would not" "He placed a finger on my forehead and all ailments were taken from my body!" "I weighed heavy on my walking stick as we walked the hallways of Olympus" "She hugged me so tightly, and the fire that was burning inside me was smothered out...I felt calm, peace and finally at home"
One thing I think is that in mythology Hera had Hephaestus so ugly precisely because she was consumed by the desire for revenge against her husband, consequently Hephaestus was born ugly and immediately rejected by her, then of course revenge on his part. A story that teaches what it means to be conceived in the womb of a woman full of hatred who gives birth to monsters. If it had gone differently, if Hera had wanted Hephaestus not out of pure revenge but out of pure justice, he would have been a more divine son than Apollo himself (perhaps), with a truly rich marriage with Aphrodite.
One of the oldest stories and truest stories, of willpower and acceptance. LB Baldy, thank you. Hephaestus story hits really close to home. Thus thank you oh greatest of story tellers.
This makes no sense to me... i started a quest of finding the symbols in different actions, from genealogical ties & so... im still deeply curious n tired... was wondering what that throwing the little god means... symbolically... if there's such a meaning at all... ill try to read on that later...
You are too kind - thank you so so much - any and all support means the world to ys ! We're so happy that you love our channel - we love to share the passion for mythology with people like you! - Lightbringer
Of all the gods in Greek mythology, Hephaestus must rank among the most tragic. Abandoned and disabled at birth because she was unattractive reveals more about Hera's father than she would want to acknowledge. It is reasonable for Hephaestus to be angry and furious. Still, compared to me, he is a superior human being. If she had hurt me, I could never have forgiven her. Outside of Hades, Hephaestus is the Olympian god I most admire
Forgiveness is not always for another person - and perhaps with eternity ahead, it may look very different. But Hephaestus did have a rough start and not the best marriage, at least he is appreciated by his family more than when he was born. He is a mighty god to admire! Good choice my friend :) - Lightbringer
Outstanding performance Light and Baldy, as is normal for this channel. You spoil us all. I do however have a single bit of head cannon to share with you. Hera is evil. In fact she is the evilist evil that ever eviled. Your previous videos roped me in and had my loving Gaia. Zeus was already a fan favorite, but your previous video had me fanboying for him. Then you dropped the Hera video and I was almost seduced....so close....but not quite. I agree with Dionysus, why didn't you kill Hera. She is the goddess of childbirth, but obviously not child raising. Again, excellent work as always Living Mythology.
Thank you again lordcrakkin - we do our best to provide good stories! I think evil is a strong word to use, but to each their own ! We are all allowed to have our own thoughts and opinions, but sometimes it's nice to have them challenged a little haha - glad to hear we almost got you!

@@livingmythology1405 Truly my pleasure Light. As for Hera...Ohhhh she is Evil. What she did with Hercules alone....just that single act (set of acts). That is a wicked, diabolical , cruel woman. Just kill Hercules or cut his legs off or something. She took joy out of tormenting a dude for something that he had NO power over. I get she wanted to A. punish Zeus and B. show that there were consequences for betraying the Queen of the Gods...but that was just CRUEL. BUTTTTTT.....I am sure with you two silver-tongues at the helm, I rekon I should be holding my words. Your scripts have a way of mesmerizing a person like a sirens song. Up becomes down, food becomes friend and MAYBEEEE Hera becomes noble... As always, thank you both for the narration/acting and thank you ma'am for the scripts.
Oh her actions toward Heracles were unforgivable ! I just think there are far more evil creatures, people and gods to call her the eviliest evil haha But she can be pretty evil, I do concede! Just not the ultimate evil in my eyes haha And thank you - we do our best :) Thank you for watching and the comments - it is really nice to see people's opinions, thoughts and reactions ! - Lightbringer

Now I don’t feel as bad about Aphrodite’s affair, knowing she never loved him to begin with and she was just a bargaining chip for him. This narration is perfection from start to finish.
Thank you so much! Yeah it is pretty harsh when you look at the old mythos and realise - Zeus forced a goddess of love into a marriage without love! - Lightbringer
Fun fact. Hephaestus was thrown off the Olympus twice, according to some myths ar least. First time when he was born ugly and got deformed and crippled. Second time according to Illid when he tried to stop Zeus from punishing Hera (hanging her off Olympus to stare at Abyss) for wrecking and almost drowning Heracles, ans got his legs broke, building himself golden support for his legs to work normally as he heals.
I discovered this during my research and thank you for commenting it! There is so much in the old tales and sometimes we can't share it all - It's fascinating to see all the variety of stories and even the different interpretations of the same stories too - there is so much to learn and enjoy about mythology! - Lightbringer
Aphrodite being forced into an unwanted marriage, yet she was blamed for following the nature of her powers. Hephaestus knew she never loved him and after the divorce he cursed Harmonia. He wasn't better nore justified for cursing the goddes of harmony. He was so lucky Aphrodite didn't bare resentment for she could've truned the other gods against him and he would've ended alone and without love.
Poor Hephaestus. I feel for him. And Hera is also the goddess of family and mother of the gods??? She ruined her status by ridding her child like yesterday's trash. Hephaestus ' revenge was nessacerry. Btw love the voice acting
In the past year I’ve really loved learning about greek mythology. It’s fascinating and while there are a few creators I follow who make videos about greek mythology, yours are on another level and it’s so much more interesting hearing it this way. I learned so much from your typhon video as I haven’t known about that story yet. I also keep a few of your videos on my bedtime playlist 😁
Thank you so much! And thank you for joining us, choosing our tales to learn and sleep too - It means a lot you appreciate the effort we take to make them. We love mythos with all their fascinating tales, do keep learning! It's so great to share it! We hope you enjoy the journey and all the tales to come! - Lightbringer
OMG!!!!!!! You’re so amazing! Story after story you open up so much insight in the tales. You actually made me tear up when the goddess Hera apologized to Hephaestus. What an amazing narrative. BRAVO!!!!! I’m always waiting for the next story………they just don’t come fast enough for me. lol 😊❤.
Thank you so much - your passion and enthusiasm is so lovely to see! It makes all the hard work worth while to see wonderful people like you enjoy it ! Thank you for sharing, and we hope you enjoy the next one just as much ! - Lightbringer
I think this is my favorite video, so far. I've always loved the tragic story of Hephaestus' origins, and you've given such a beautiful and detailed story. I also really enjoy seeing this whole thing from Hera's perspective. She's always portrayed as petty, arrogant, and spiteful, as queens can be, and I always enjoyed that about her character. But, in this story, it shows that she's not only capable of feeling shame and remorse, but also love. All-in-all, this was a wonderfully portrayed story, filled with drama and emotion.
Thank you so much - I wanted to come at the tale from a different angle and I’m so glad it has been loved and appreciated. I think Hera - although often petty, arrogant and spiteful - she is still feeling and capable of remorse and shame. The greek gods have always been more fascinating to me because they are all so very human. Capable of mistakes, and I f acting on pure emotion Thank you for listening and commenting - it’s wonderful to know people enjoy our work! - Lightbringer
Why? It’s a tiny channel with no money to pay anyone? You want a LOT for your FREE entertainment. Perhaps they could get George clooney and Morgan freeman to guest star? Duuhhhhhu
@@sleeplepeople7313 Geez dude I was not thinking they needed to pay anyone. The videos they put are fun and I was thinking on if they are going to use more than two voices for every god. It is a small channel that is being built people that enjoy Greek mythology. They may branch into other myths too but right now they focus on Greek. I also never heard of George Clooney until you mentioned him lol. I just thought they could bring in more friend or heck even I would join in for free or even pay them to let me on. This stuff is fun and they built something incredible. Did not mean to offend you by just asking a simple curios question. I apologize on that.
Currently no - as we work to strict deadlines and it is just not viable cost wise We do all of it ourselves, in our tiny team of two! And at the rate and speed we work - its hard to ask for peoples time to fit into our schedules! All our friends and family have their own lives, and jobs and it takes a lot longer than you'd think haha! (And this channel doesn't earn enough for full time payed workers to live on haha- so we're lucky to have two voices at all! This and the other channel are our jobs - so we hope to build up enough that we can continue it. It is a project out of love but we do have to eat too haha) but perhaps one day in the far - far future! - Lightbringer
Zeus did not try to free Hera for one reason. Zeus is in charge of administering justice, so his condemnation of Hera and the punishment she received for her actions was "pure justice".
Ares: "I bet I can threaten Hephaestus."
Athena: "I bet I can reason with Hephaestus."
Aphrodite: "I bet I can charm Hephaestus."
Dionysus: "...I bet that blacksmith is THIRSTY!"
😂😂😂

Noice 👍
In the past year I’ve really loved learning about greek mythology. It’s fascinating and while there are a few creators I follow who make videos about greek mythology, yours are on another level and it’s so much more interesting hearing it this way. I learned so much from your typhon video as I haven’t known about that story yet. I also keep a few of your videos on my bedtime playlist 😁
Thank you so much! And thank you for joining us, choosing our tales to learn and sleep too - It means a lot you appreciate the effort we take to make them. We love mythos with all their fascinating tales, do keep learning! It's so great to share it!
We hope you enjoy the journey and all the tales to come!

Y’all do it best please keep up the great work! ❤
Thank you so much!!
OMG!!!!!!! You’re so amazing! Story after story you open up so much insight in the tales. You actually made me tear up when the goddess Hera apologized to Hephaestus. What an amazing narrative. BRAVO!!!!! I’m always waiting for the next story………they just don’t come fast enough for me. lol 😊❤.
Thank you so much - your passion and enthusiasm is so lovely to see! It makes all the hard work worth while to see wonderful people like you enjoy it ! Thank you for sharing, and we hope you enjoy the next one just as much !

I think this is my favorite video, so far. I've always loved the tragic story of Hephaestus' origins, and you've given such a beautiful and detailed story. I also really enjoy seeing this whole thing from Hera's perspective. She's always portrayed as petty, arrogant, and spiteful, as queens can be, and I always enjoyed that about her character. But, in this story, it shows that she's not only capable of feeling shame and remorse, but also love. All-in-all, this was a wonderfully portrayed story, filled with drama and emotion.
Thank you so much - I wanted to come at the tale from a different angle and I’m so glad it has been loved and appreciated.
I think Hera - although often petty, arrogant and spiteful - she is still feeling and capable of remorse and shame.
The greek gods have always been more fascinating to me because they are all so very human. Capable of mistakes, and I f acting on pure emotion
Thank you for listening and commenting - it’s wonderful to know people enjoy our work!

Have you got a video on Hypnos
No full video yet - but Hypnos is mentioned in 'Hades' Tour of the Underworld'

Will you guys ever bring more and new voice actors?
Why? It’s a tiny channel with no money to pay anyone? You want a LOT for your FREE entertainment.
Perhaps they could get George clooney and Morgan freeman to guest star?
Duuhhhhhu
@@sleeplepeople7313 Geez dude I was not thinking they needed to pay anyone. The videos they put are fun and I was thinking on if they are going to use more than two voices for every god. It is a small channel that is being built people that enjoy Greek mythology. They may branch into other myths too but right now they focus on Greek. I also never heard of George Clooney until you mentioned him lol. I just thought they could bring in more friend or heck even I would join in for free or even pay them to let me on. This stuff is fun and they built something incredible. Did not mean to offend you by just asking a simple curios question. I apologize on that.
Currently no - as we work to strict deadlines and it is just not viable cost wise
We do all of it ourselves, in our tiny team of two! And at the rate and speed we work - its hard to ask for peoples time to fit into our schedules! All our friends and family have their own lives, and jobs and it takes a lot longer than you'd think haha!
(And this channel doesn't earn enough for full time payed workers to live on haha- so we're lucky to have two voices at all! This and the other channel are our jobs - so we hope to build up enough that we can continue it. It is a project out of love but we do have to eat too haha)
but perhaps one day in the far - far future!

And we thank you for watching - liking, commenting and subscribing! It helps a lot :)
Zeus did not try to free Hera for one reason. Zeus is in charge of administering justice, so his condemnation of Hera and the punishment she received for her actions was "pure justice".
