OpenMyth

Ancient myths, told as stories — straight from the original texts.

Every episode tells one complete myth from beginning to end, anchored in the earliest surviving sources: what the text actually says, which book preserved it, and how old it really is. Along the way, we fix the details modern retellings quietly changed — the axe Pangu never held, the "cosmic egg" that was only ever a simile.

We begin with Chinese mythology — Pangu, Nüwa, Nezha, the Investiture of the Gods, and the complete Journey to the West — with Greek, Egyptian, and Norse stories to follow.

One narrator. Stylized illustrated visuals. Sources cited in every video description.
