What a fine day to greet clouds, is it not? Well, allow me to make it more interesting. A few months ago, the hydra decided on a dragon poster to celebrate the end of our first season of The Mythsterhood of Travelling Tales podcast. We’re not yet there, but that’s not going to stop us from making it a month-or-so celebration. The poster was recently completed and I, for one, cannot wait to share it with all our Mythsters!

So, with a slight delay while we catapulted some of life’s lemons back to whence they came, we’ve finally come to the promised blog post about some of the hybrid dragons encountered in Greek mythology.
Welcome to the sunny Mediterranean region and all their dragons. Jaz and Anike took a closer look at some of the dragons from Greece, Italy, and the Iberian peninsula, and boy, did they find some surprising stuff, alongside the Greek classics.
Welcome to episode 17, the dragons of the Balkans in which Koji and Anike begin that part of our journey that will take us deeper and deeper into Europe, and where we discover our first dragon-rider. How awesome is that?
Welcome to episode 16, and the second episode we’ll be spending exploring the dragons of Africa. The Southern part of Africa, to be precise. Anike’s homeland!
Welcome to our first regular episode of 2O21, in which the plan is to discuss those dragons found in the northern half of the Africa. That turned out a bit ambitious, but more dragons will be discussed in next week’s blog, of course.
So, in honour of the halfway point, which we passed right after our exploration of Russian dragons in episode 12, we passed our halfway point in the destinations we settled…
Welcome to a very special episode: the first one in which all three of us are recording together. Much giggles ensued, as one might expect, and we had a lot of fun discussing a slice of dragon mythology of very special interest to Koji. This week, we delve into the dragons of Turkey and you’ll see why this episode is further special.
Egyptian mythology turned out to be so vast, we opted to discuss two dragons in greater depth, and are discussing a few other ones in here. Among which are the first underworld deities, guiding spirits through the afterlife (or eating them if they’ve been too naughty).
