Myths and Legends

Published on Jun 2nd at 3:45am

Two stories from Greek/Roman mythology this week with the (not remotely) love story of Apollo and Daphne as well as the tale of Pyramus and Thisbe, where we'll see that a wall can bring people together as well as keep them apart. The creature is the Bakru, from Suriname, a mythological creature in the form of a child that stopped on the way to becoming a real boy and you can also hire him to burn down someone's house on Fiverr. -- Sponsors: Warby Parker: Try five pairs of glasses at home for free at http://warbyparker.com/myths Pretty Litter: Pretty Litter: Get 20% off by going to http://prettylitter.com and using the promo code "myths" KiwiCo: Get 30% off your first month plus free shipping on any crate line with code MYTHS at http://kiwico.com Literati: Reimagine what a book club can be.
