Mythology hides its heroes in plain sight, dressing a warrior in silk before it lets him pick up a sword. A mother disguises her son as a girl in a palace full of women, and a trumpet blast is all it takes to reveal the boy who will die at Troy. That single moment says everything about this show: gods testing mortals, prophecies nobody escapes, and choices that cost exactly what they promise to cost.

Mythology: Gods & Monsters is a narrated documentary podcast, no host, no chatter, just one complete mythology story per episode, reconstructed in careful detail from ancient sources and the scholarship built around them. Each episode stands alone. You get the full arc of a myth or legend, from the strange rule that sets it in motion to the ending that made it endure for thousands of years, whether that ending is triumphant, tragic, or simply unresolved.

The show moves freely across greek mythology and beyond it, drawing on mythology from cultures far outside the Mediterranean world. You will hear how Zeus watches his own son Sarpedon die at Troy because even gods answer to fate, how a king sits frozen on a chair in the underworld and cannot rise, how a divine smith turns grief into a slaughter of skulls and stolen gold. There is room here for ancient mythology that predates the Olympians, for the dragon-slayer Siegfried and the betrayal waiting for him, for guides with three eyes and cheats who win kingdoms through nerve rather than glory. Gods and monsters share the stage equally, because in these mythology tales neither side plays fair.

If you want legends told with texture, tension, and enough historical grounding to feel real rather than recited, this mythology podcast is built for you. New episodes release regularly, each one a self-contained world you can enter cold. Subscribe now, so the next piece of mythology finds you the moment it drops.Copyright OBOMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT SF

  • You are handed the raven banner - do you carry a flag that kills?

    You are handed the raven banner - do you carry a flag that kills?
    2026/10/30
    A warlord on an English shore is handed a raven banner said to see and kill - do you carry a flag that chooses who lives?

    You are handed the raven banner - do you carry a flag that kills?

    In this episode, we follow the scattered records and stories about a raven banner that men coveted and feared across two centuries of Norse warfare. The episode traces how chroniclers, coins, sagas and tapestries describe a banner that functioned as both symbol and alleged agent - what does it mean to carry such an object?

    Person: Sigurd the Stout
    Event: Capture of a raven banner in Devonshire
    Date: 878
    Source: Anglo-Saxon Chronicle; Orkneyinga Saga; coin imagery

    - An army of 803 men died in Devonshire in 878 and the Chronicle notes, almost as an afterthought, that the raven banner was taken.
    - Coins from around 940 show a triangular standard with tabs, indicating the raven standard was a recognizable emblem by the mid‑10th century.
    - The Orkneyinga Saga credits a finely embroidered raven banner to Sigurd the Stout, crafted by his mother, a völva who used seiðr and promised its power.
    - Contemporary Norse belief linked ravens to Odin’s ravens Huginn and Muninn, making a raven on a banner a claim that Odin was watching and choosing the slain.
    - Anglo‑Saxon writers treated a captured raven banner as a pagan idol, recording its seizure without elaboration and leaving its subsequent fate unrecorded.

  • You press your thumb to your mouth - who will hold your secret?

    You press your thumb to your mouth - who will hold your secret?
    2026/10/29
    A Södermanland stone carver leaves a silent warning. What happens when the one secret you give to the person you love moves into someone else’s hands?

    You press your thumb to your mouth - who will hold your secret?

    In this episode, we follow the carved moments that made Sigurd a shared story across centuries and places. The episode traces how small images on stones and crosses carried a question about trust and vulnerability through Norse, English, and continental traditions - and asks what it means that communities kept the same outline without a single origin.

    Person: Sigurd
    Location: Södermanland, Sweden
    Period: eleventh century (carving); motifs span 7th-13th centuries
    Event: Ramsund stone carving showing pit, serpent, and finger-to-mouth
    Topic: transmission of legend across Scandinavia and England

    - A stone carver in Södermanland chose three images - a man beneath a serpent, a headless figure, and a thumb at the mouth - and left without explanation.
    - By the eleventh-twelfth centuries Sigurd’s scenes appear on crosses and church carvings from the Isle of Man to York to Hylestad, treated like common knowledge.
    - Scholars connect the legend to multiple historical candidates (Sigebert I, Sigifridus/Godfrid, even Arminius) while noting none is proven.
    - Alternatives argue the dragon-slayer motif is older and pan-European, with the human betrayals and fatal spot accreting later onto an ancient pattern.
    - The repeated, casual depiction - no labels, no origin story - suggests communities used the image as a way to discuss who can hold a secret and how a person can be undone.

  • You pick up the ring Loki stole - do you keep the gold?

    You pick up the ring Loki stole - do you keep the gold?
    2026/10/28
    A man on a Russian steppe pulls a Norse-carved axe and must decide whether to keep a cursed ring-what would you become if you clung to gold?

    You pick up the ring Loki stole - do you keep the gold?

    In this episode, we follow a chain of choices and objects that carry a curse from gods to mortals across lands and time. The episode traces the incident at a waterfall, the taking of Andvaranaut, and the slow transformation that greed makes visible - will possession define the possessor?

    Person: Fáfnir
    Event: Loki taking Andvaranaut from Andvari
    Location: Vladimir Oblast (steppe east of Moscow)
    Source: Fáfnismál; Völsunga saga; Prose Edda
    Object: Ring Andvaranaut

    - Loki throws a stone that accidentally kills an otter, later revealed to be Hreiðmarr’s son Ótr in otter form.
    - Hreiðmarr demands weregild: gold enough to fill and cover the otter skin without a hair showing.
    - Loki goes to Svartálfaheim, captures the dwarf Andvari (in pike form), and seizes his gold and the ring Andvaranaut.
    - Andvari plainly declares the gold will be the death of anyone who owns it as Loki departs with the hoard.
    - Fáfnir kills his father Hreiðmarr, takes all the gold to Gnitaheath, and gradually becomes the coiling worm he came to embody.
