The Bestiary: Dragon, Unicorn, Elf, Mermaid, Phoenix, Werewolf | Sleepy Mythology & History
About this episode
This episode explores the origins of various legendary and fantasy creatures through a historical and mythological lens.
As long compilations of episodes that can accompany you for several hours were requested, we put this new one together. Bestiaries were medieval compendiums that contained information and illustrations of real and legendary animals. Following this ancient tradition, we have put together talks about the origins of different legendary and fantasy creatures. Make yourself comfortable, this will be a long historical, anthropological and mythological journey around the world. This podcast is entirely scripted and recorded by real people, it includes no AI, and mid-roll ad breaks are turned off so that you can relax without interruption.
