This week, on Myths and Legends, we're in Greek mythology with the story of the Seas in the Underworld,

and you'll be able to add to the growing list of mythological creatures you should not invite to your wedding.

And, if you do invite them, you'll see which legendary weapons to pack to get them to leave.

The creature this week is a tiny, shape-shifting bird that will just buzz around your house, and it's adorable blood-powered plane.

This is Myths and Legends, episode 124, The Fall.

This is a podcast where I tell stories from mythology and folklore.

Some are incredibly popular stories you think you know, but with surprise and origins.

Others are stories that might be new to you, but are definitely worth listening.

Today, we're back in Greek mythology with our old friend, Diceus. Diceus, of course, was the king of Athens.

He was raised by his mom in a city called Treeson, and arrived in Athens to claim his birthright.

When he learned that his country member re-infested the Minotaur of Crete, a few weeks and one dead Minotaur later,

Diceus returned to hero.

Only to watch his dad plummet to his death after misunderstanding.

He became king and went on adventures with the Argonauts, the ancient world of Vendor-style team-up.

Got married a couple times, was a widower, a couple of times, if you went the fullest of Diceus episodes, I put it in the show notes.

We've done a lot of them at this point.

Anyway, now we'll catch up with a metal wedding, without a plus one.

The Centars

Centars. Of course, Perethus would invite Centars to his wedding.

Diceus understood. There were his cousins. He couldn't just not invite your cousins to your wedding, but still. It was like amateur night out here.

The Centars lived in the forest, and they weren't really used to wine. At least they didn't know you didn't drink wine straight from the wine skin.

He mixed it with water first.
