The story of Demeter from Greek mythology is one of finding her place in the world. A world run by her terrible siblings, but it's ok. She's her own person and she can weather anything as long as she has her daughter Persephone by her side. As long as nothing happens to Persephone. The creature is [...]

Aesop’s Fables: State of Nature

By |2024-05-29T00:19:11-04:00May 29th, 2024|Categories: Episodes, Podcast|

It's fable time on Myths and Legends...despite fables being neither myths nor legends... They're fun, though, and you might just learn some of the wisdom of the ancients, like how you should never question the king. The creature is a very wise dragon. So wise that you should get all your answers from [...]
