Rambling Recollections ep4: Athena's Early Years.

The Rambling Recollector

A Mix of Legends concerning Athena. Brought to you by Alcohol...

Note: there are multiple versions of these stories throughout Greek mythology, and Athena is no exception, so I went with an interpretation I thought would be the most amusing.

Rambling Recollections ep5: The Black Metal Marriage of Hades and Persephone.

The Rambling Recollector

A tale as old as time itself. Boy sees girl. Boy Kidnaps girl. The planet nearly dies...

Like many Greek legends, there are several versions of this story, so I went with an interpretation I thought best for the Video.
