About this episode

This episode explores the myths and mysteries of monsters believed to inhabit the depths of the ocean, particularly focusing on the concept of the Lair of the Leviathan.

Stories of monsters lurking within the world's oceans are nothing new, having persisted in folklore and maritime tradition for centuries. In previous episodes, including our sister series Wartime Stories, we have examined some of the most notorious examples. Yet despite centuries of exploration, the deep remains one of the least understood environments on Earth. Vast stretches of the ocean floor have never been seen by human eyes. Perhaps it should come as no surprise, then, that some still believe unimaginable things may be hiding down there, within a cold and unforgiving realm known simply as the Lair of the Leviathan.
