THE BIRTH AND EARLY EXPLOITS OF HERMES - HERMES' CONFESSION A tale told from Hermes and Maia, the mother of Hermes, of how he came to be. This tricky god got up to a lot of mischief in his first few days of life, including upsetting the greek god Apollo. This video details the twisting tale of his birth and his roles in the pantheon of olympic gods. 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.

Hermes really said you can’t hurt me I’m a baby.

Maia; "Hermes, where were you!?!" Hermes; ". . . Out."

I had a smile on my face for the entire duration of this video. It reminded me so much of how I was when I was a young child and all the mischief and trouble I got myself into. The response from Zeus was what I imagine any parent has when hearing of the devious exploits of their children, slightly disappointed, and yet proud of their ingenuity. My own parents were the same way. This captures what it is to be a young boy so well. Hermes is restless, bored, easily entertained, and a bit of a troublemaker. His antics make his mother worry and fret to the point of explosive anger, and yet she just wants him to be healthy and strong. Keep up the wonderful work, Sir Baldermort and Lady Lightbringer. 🤠

Both of you are great story tellers❤❤❤

Thank you Lightbringer and Baldermort for another amazing piece of mythology brought to life!

I think this has become my fav story. *Hermes 4 minutes old* I’ve waited long enough enough, times to stir some stuff up 😂 Hermes is bringing all the cows to the yard I laughed so many times during this video but I think my fav part was Apollo accusing Hermes and Hermes being like ‘Dude I’m a baby I couldn’t possibly’ 😂😂😂😂😂

That was Phenomenal, Hermes is such a little sh*t I can't help but find the shenanigans he pulls off funny. Excellent Job, keep it up.

That was a great change of pace. From Gaia to Zeus to Hera, the story has been building. Then, out of nowhere comes a cunning baby and his mom up all night worried sick. Lying to the God of ethe Universe....against his brother. Epic brother madness. Lore coming alive, is being accomplished. Baldy and Light, you are fantastic as always.

⚕️Thanks be to Hermes. Also, to Lightbringer and Baldermort for this magnificent video.

I have listened to many of these stories now and the more I listen the more I realize that I am not listening to the stories of gods, but, the story of me, the story of you, the story of all of us. The story of everything that we can be, the good and the bad.

Thank you , LM . 🐺

This is a very good one.. I was attacked by the giggle monster... I hate monsters yet I don't mind when that one attacks from the empty void... Bravo, Bravo, Bravo... I look forward with bated breath for your next rendition of Living Mythology... I have shared you on the platforms I'm on.. True that's like 2 but I don't use the computer for more then research, video's, and games these days... Keep doing what you enjoy and we both will be happy... LOL 😸😸😸

Again, you've done it. I've turned some of your vids into audio files, put them on my phone and listen to them on my bike rides. The wiring is quite descriptive which makes for easy visualisation. I too am a descriptive writer and appreciate well-placed words that paint vivid pictures.The vocal delivery is no less brilliant. Again, bravo.

Another home run!!!! Great video!

Fun story! I think Hermes is my new favorite of this pantheon! Thanks!

Fantastic work!

I cannot wait any longer for more videos 😒. Why does it take so long to upload. I so love your stories I come everyday to rewatch. Please we want more😢

Pint size thief but great musician 😊 love this story thank you

Can you please do something for Mnemosyne Greek Titaness of Memory. I have an altar of her in my room and would be honored to see something about her on your channel.

You are both amazing storytellers! Will you be doing Germanic mythology at some point, or are you solely Greek?

Beautiful 💫

Noice 👍

As always thank you, thank you, thank you. How you always never disappoint me. Your stories are always enlighten me and entertain me. Keep up the excellent work and I’m on pins and needles for the next adventure. An advise…….what do you say about the origin of the Amazons? Just a thought.

I’m a very proud Great Great Grandfather of Hermès.

Hail Hermes!

Great video look forward to more or your content :)

Luke : dad why did you left me . Hermes : for the milk

Thank you, oh crafty shepherd of the divine herd! 🫴

I wonder if this channel would add more voice actors?

That is a deep voice for a baby. Can only imagine how he sounds as an adult.

Hi, Im such a great fan of your channel As the only channel I know, to explain greek mythology so lively. We would be so greatful if you made a video about Athena

Yo that art is sick! Where did you find it/who is the artist? 19:06

sup?

Hail Hermes

Let us also honor the illustrators and the writers

Hermes grew up so fast 😂😂 pun intended

And I will continue to lead the herds out of bondage, within the slavery of their minds ❤ and return the riches of which has been stolen

I need to know what this magnificently mischievous shit did to batos!? 🙏 How did Hermes repay the old man?

I tried to steel a mere cat from a zoo when I was a baby ,my mum was horrified I held it under my arm lol ❤

kinda makes you wonder how old the phrase "what were ya, born yesterday?" really is 😏👉

Hermes should calm down some weekends ay brah!

Ive returned to lead the cattle out of slavery ❤

😂😂❤❤❤❤

Hermes knows how to make some time for fun

7:21 are they supposed to be wolves?

I don't recon the man ever drank. Or liked it.

God and GOOD 1.god.like.2.god like 2 time.z=G.12.D.i.b.13. When A.5.dus this he is 7 Wonder what is 8.

This one made me cringe, but pushed self to listen to it’s entirety. A child who kills an animal due to lack of self control to weld an instrument to seduce and steal cattle that is not his? If that’s not a sociopath headed into the realm of psychopath, I don’t know what is…
