Once, the Tongala River, which most maps now call the Murray, was a place of peace where the Water-Rat Tribe could live with ease. But then one day appeared the Whowie: a great frog-headed lizard, long and fat and slow, prowling the banks.

No, the ending song isn’t “under the sea”, I already did it twice.

Last we saw Ōkuninushi, he showed kindness to a hare in distress, and the hare of Inaba had foretold that he would be the one that the princess of Yakami would desire. And this was true, because when his 80 brothers showed up at court and declared their intentions, the princess insisted she would only marry him — so thus, his brothers began trying to kill him off…

Miscellaneous Myths: Io

Published on 14 Jun 2019The moon! The myth! The legend! The three millionth woman to live through an absolute nightmare just because Zeus couldn’t be bothered to keep it in his pants!
Still had a better life than Callisto, though.
Pro tip, if someone is listed on wikipedia as a “lover” of zeus, that does not at all indicate that their relationship was consensual.

Tale of the Golden Tree – Nart Sagas – Russian Myth #1 – Extra Mythology
Extra Credits
Published on 6 May 2019Join the Patreon community! http://bit.ly/EMPatreon
“If our lives be short let our fame be great!” The legends of the Nart people still echo across the Caucasus, but that echo is getting fainter, so to honor that cry from long ago, it’s only fitting that we tell one of their tales today. We’ll start with an old one, perhaps one of the first to be told. The tale of a golden tree.
The Nart people pursued the apples of a golden tree which bore a strange red and white pattern — eating from either side of it would allow the conception of a child with beautiful white hair. However, the apples kept mysteriously vanishing during the night — so two mighty brothers were set on the case of the vanishing apples.

In this episode, Extra Credits goes to King’s Landing — er, so we can talk about the things we couldn’t fit in to our Persian myths episodes, *obviously.*
Myths offer us a fascinating look into the things that a culture historically valued, even though as modern viewers we may have a hard time relating to them.

Holiday Tales: Easter!

Published on 30 Mar 2018Happy Good Friday, everyone! Easter’s in two days, so let’s take a hot minute to see if we can figure out what exactly we’re celebrating when we pull out our egg baskets and chocolate bunnies, and why exactly we do it the way we do. Will we be able to unravel the mysteries of Easter before Jesus’s death timer hits zero? (Spoiler: no!)

Miscellaneous Myths: The Five Suns
Overly Sarcastic Productions
Published on 5 Apr 2019Everybody loves a good creation myth. The Aztecs loved it so much they did it five whole times! I’d call it “overkill”, but compared to all the other stuff the aztecs believed, four mythical extinction events is actually remarkably tame.
