THE TITANS - GREEK GODS BEFORE THE OLYMPIANS
24,250
Published 2022-09-06
The Titans were the second generation of gods of the Greek Pantheon and the forebears of the Olympians you know, Zeus Apollo, Athena etc. They were led by Chronos, the tyrant god of Time.
Very little is actually known about the Titans, as they were more a footnote to the gods of Greek Mythology, an explanation of the genesis of the 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.

And so the tales of ancient myth have returned and on such a taxing work day how wonderful to simply sit and listen to your video
-
Very nice! And the idea of having this being narrated by Oceanus and Tethys was a cool idea, I don't think I've ever seen it done like that before.
-
The worst part about a new channel is when you have to wait for more. This was great. Can’t wait for the next release.
-
Utterly beautiful, both of you. I haven’t seen the Titans portrayed so humanly before. Usually they are monsters for the Olympians to overcome. I was really impressed by this. Bravo to both of you, bravo!
-
Love the different approach Lightbringer and Papa Bald are bringing to these. Making the epic personal never fails. Long may this channel transport me into legend.
-
Greek mythology being one of my favorite "lost history" subjects, this is just wonderful to be able to listen to.
-
What an amazing treat for a rough day. Such an immersive content approach to ancient mythology. Thank you for this. 👍
-
Hard to imagine two voices more fitting for this kind of story telling!
-
I could listen to you voice all day Uncle B!! Looking forward to the Celtic gods when you get to them!!
-
this makes me want to dust of my old heroes of Olympus book series and read it again.
-
I never knew there were so many other mythological beings in Greek mythology. Other than the Olympians and the titans that you hear about in the popular stories. Thank you for enlightening me.
-
Every GW writer who has to do a Collegia Titanica book: WRITE THOSE NAMES! WRITE THEM ALL!!!
-
I especially appreciate the ambience of a campfire to reinforce the mental imagery of ancestors telling the tales.
-
Fantastic narration. The narrative and voice acting. Absolutely perfect. It is like the blanket in the cold. It is like the fire in the freeze. It is like the water in the desert. Perfect.
-
Yet another great video! Looking forward to the epic clash. Titans vs Olympians.
-
Superb follow up episode on your first. I so love the vicious turmoil of the Titans. Bring on the Olympians!
-
Very beautifully narrated once more, love how Lightbringer and Baldermort are doing this in tandem , it works so well! Loved this, both informative and very relaxing!
-
I've loved everything from this channels so far I am a big fan of the Greeko-Roman pantheons keep up the good work.
-
Absolutely amazing. both of you. Very well done my friends.
