  Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod

All the stories are sourced from world folklore, but retold for modern ears. These are stories of wizards, knights, Vikings, dragons, princesses, and kings from the time when the world beyond the map was a dangerous and wonderful place.

335: Indian folklore: Got Your Nose

Two stories from Indian folklore where we learn that you should always know your exact weight in mangos...because it might help you outrun those eight guys trying to murder you. Also, being a parent is difficult, especially when your clever ideas to punish your kids just make them more awesome. The creature is the Gulon, from Sweden. It'll turn you into farts. Membership!

334: Arabian folklore, part 2: The Enemy of my Enemy is my Enemy

The story of Fatima is a long one with many twists and turns. There are genies, evil wizards, massive battles, and a world-wide trek to make sure evil pays for its crimes, but at the center is Fatima, a woman who won't back down no matter the opposition, and who always stands for what she knows is right. The creature is a hairy naked man (another one!) but you actually might want to make this one your friend. --- Disclaimer: [https://www.mythpodcast.com/15951/334-arabian-folklore-part-2-the-enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-enemy/] (https://www.mythpodcast.com/15951/334-arabian-folklore-part-2-the-enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-enemy/) Sources [The Tale of Princess Fatima, Warrior Woman] (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/605312/the-tale-of-princess-fatima-warrior-woman-by-edited-translated-and-with-an-introduction-and-notes-by-melanie-magidow/) [The Warrior Women of Islam] (https://www.amazon.com/Warrior-Women-Islam-Empowerment-Literature/dp/1848859279) [The Arabian Epic, Heroic and Oral Storytelling Volume 3] (https://assets.cambridge.org/97805210/17404/toc/9780521017404_toc.pdf) [Rejected Princesses ] (https://www.rejectedprincesses.com/book1) --- Sponsors: Bombas Bombas makes the season comfy with socks, tees, and underwear that feel good and do good: [https://bombas.com/legends] (https://bombas.com/legends) and use code: legends Audible Enjoy and discover audio entertainment in one app. New members can try Audible free for 30 days at [https://Audible.com/legends] (https://audible.com/legends) or text the word legends to 500-500 --- Music: Tedukedo by Chad Crouch Pytarevubu by Chad Crouch Lead Shroud by Blue Dot Sessions Hills by Chad Crouch Wren Language by Blue Dot Sessions Dolly and Pad by Blue Dot Sessions Amaranthus by Chad Crouch ...

The epic story of Fatima, Dhat Al-Himma, the warrior woman, princess, mystic begins with the misadventures of her family line where they learn the perils of bad poetry, why you shouldn't marry genies, and it might be a bad thing to constantly rob your enemies when your bank account gets a little low.

332: Japanese folklore: Frog and Slug are Friends

Slug, frog, snake, shoot! You've heard of rock, paper, scissors, but have you heard of slug, frog, snake? That old man you're trying to rob who lives in the mountains by himself has. Hope you like everything being covered in slime. Apparently these characters were reimagined for the manga/anime Naruto, but I haven't seen Naruto, so please don't sue me, people who own Naruto.

Two stories from English folklore about the secrets we keep. The first is the story of the Monk of Leicester, Dan Hew, a man who has a few verses of poetry he wants to yell at the married women of the village. All the married women.

330: Jewish Folklore: The Gilded Cage

Two stories from Yiddish folklore of taking a chance, making a change, going for a ride on a giant bird's wings, yelling at a classroom full of kids, and marrying a demon.

326-1001 Nights: Enough

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.
