Mythology in all its bloody, brutal glory

Episode 21 – The Magical Fruit

This week on MYTH, it’s back to West Africa for more exciting adventures from the Amazing Spider Man.  And by Spider Man, I of course mean that delightful trickster god, Anansi.  In this episode, you’ll learn that beans can do worse things than make you fart, that it’s a bad idea to sell your daughter for an easy meal, and that spiders are mooches.  Then, in Gods and Monsters, it’s a snake-elephant crossbreed that protects an incredible treasure.  This episode tells three stories of Anansi the Spider from West African mythology.
