Myths and Legends

The story of Finette Cendron is like a greatest hits of fairy tales. A tale of betrayal, sisters, ogres, bad poetry, and haircuts, we see three sisters brave the wilds and everything the fairy tale world can throw at them, to make things right. The creature is Cutty Soams! He'll cut your soams...if he's not a secret Scooby-Doo villain. --- Membership: https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership Catpaw: https://myths.link/catpaw Disclaimer: https://myths.link/327 --- Music: Alsace by Chad Crouch Evening Overture by Chad Crouch Morning Coda by Chad Crouch Ruby by Chad Crouch The Blue Room by Chad Crouch

Three brothers. One cousin...who they want to marry. It starts in a weird place this week. Three brothers are sent on a quest: the brother who brought back the strangest, coolest item would get to marry her. A story with magic carpets, genies, fairies, and a man who can wrap his mustache around his head, we learn the value of communication, understanding, and not having people murdered. The creature this week might not be a creature at all, but simply an elderly woman who doesn't want to be attacked with a knife. --- Links: Membership: https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership Pizza bicycle: https://myths.link/bicyclepizza First story source (with questionable anthropology): https://myths.link/threeprinces Second story source: https://myths.link/princeahmed --- Sponsors: The Farmer's Dog:Help keep your dog happy and healthy for all your adventures together with The Farmer’s Dog: https://thefarmersdog.com/myths Audible: Enjoy and discover audio entertainment in one app. New members can try Audible free for 30 days: https://Audible.com/legends or text the word legends to 500-500 --- Music: Kaleidoscope by Adrian Berenguer An Oddly Formal Dance by Blue Dot Sessions Play by Adrian Berenguer Winter by Adrian Berenguer Days Pass by Adrian Berenguer Separation by Adrian Berenguer Gnarled Oak by Boris Skalsky

Aphrodite is looking for love in all the wrong places. It's the story of where she came from, her side of her doomed marriage with Hephaestus, and how the love of her very, very long life was a tree baby.

The story of Erec and Enide from Arthurian Legend is a good illustration of why you should try to work out your problems as a couple with empathy, understanding, and communication...and not through a deadly quest filled with pointless, brutal combat.

This week, it's the Saga of Göngu-Hrolf, from Icelandic folklore. It starts with a king getting one, solitary, five-foot-long, apparently super attractive hair wrapped in a scarf...and only gets better from there. There are evil wizards belching (yes, belching) fire and poison, somber Vikings getting conned, and a deadly honeypot zombie trap for any heroes who might try to be heroes. It's a fun one.  The creature is the Nunui, and you'll see why you want to wear shoes when gardening.   Chicken arms: https://myths.link/armedchickens Disclaimer (and author quote): https://myths.link/321a Membership: https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership   Sponsor: Indeed!
