Summary

Seven people have been informed that they will be pivotal in the quest for the greatest holy object that has ever existed: the Holy Grail. First, they have to get it to England. That, of course, will involve angelic post-it notes, ships with ejector seats, attacking giants, and, the most unbelievable thing of all (to some of our characters): multi-colored wood. We'll see how the Grail comes to Britain and that the end of Joseph's quest is just the beginning. -- Sponsors: Check out The Great Courses Plus!

0:00.0	This week, on Myths and Legends, it's the second half of our story about the Holy Grail.
0:04.7	You'll see how dads underwear can save your life, and why the perfect getaway car
0:09.0	might just be a cloud. The creature this time is just a friendly little seahorse,
0:14.0	who might just unite all the other fish under the king of the fish to make war on the surface world.
0:18.9	This is Myths and Legends, Episode 120b, Beyond the Sea.
0:33.4	This is a podcast where I tell stories from mythology and folklore. Some are incredibly
0:37.5	popular stories you think you know, but with surprising origins. Other stories that might be new to
0:42.4	you, but are definitely worth listening. Last week, we met several characters, Joseph Verimathia,
0:48.0	his son Josephus, King Mordrain, Nassian, and others. We'll pick up their story today,
0:53.1	as they continue their journey to an island on the edge of the world, Britain.
1:10.2	Your entire world changes in a day. You realize you're part of something bigger than yourself,
1:14.8	a story that will live on long after your death. You have a mission, a purpose,

1:28.4	the place he would live, defending the most holy of objects. It was also the place he would die,
1:34.4	a storm gathered overhead. The angel had told them of the Grail quest. How Mordrain and Nassian's
1:40.2	descendants would defend the Grail, and when it went missing, and threw the land into chaos.
1:46.7	How one person far, far down the line would seek it and find it. The only thing the angel didn't
1:53.9	mention, when their roles would start. Joseph Verimathia, his wife, and Josephus seemed content to
2:01.5	wait and hear from God, but Mordrain couldn't help asking how he would know when to go.
2:05.8	Joseph explained that he was asking the wrong question and simply left it at that.
2:10.4	And so the trio headed east, while Mordrain and his brother-in-law, Nassian, turned west,
2:16.0	back home. Now, nearly a year later, mental images of the cave were beginning to fade.
