Just to quick heads up, there are more violent themes this week. Nothing gratuitous,

but for those that like a warning, find out more details before you listen on mythsandlegens.com.

This week, on mythsandlegens, it's our third piece of the Robinhood tales,

and this time will be reminded, yet again, that nothing spells rebranding strategy

quite like staring death in the face. Then, on the creature of the week, it's the milchim

from rabbinical folklore, as they say, and Apple it a keeps the milchim away.

Except, they're totally wrong, because the milchim isn't going anywhere. You are.

This is Mythsandlegens, episode 141c, on brand.

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

popular stories you think you know, but with surprising origins. Others are stories that might

be new to you, but are definitely worth listening. This is part 3 of our Robinhood stories,

so if you haven't listened to part 1 and 2, you might want to go do that first.

Previously on the podcast, Robinhood mysteriously appeared in Sherwood Forest,

after ruining the archery contest the sheriff of Nottingham at Throne for the King.

For three years, he both joined and recruited other outlaws, living in the woods,

until he had quite the formidable band. Finding himself humiliated one too many times,

the sheriff hired an assassin, one guy of Gizborn, to track down and kill Robinhood once and for all.

And so, guy not only tracked down Robinhood, but informed one of the sheriff's underlings

about where the band lived in the forest. We left off last week with guy marching toward the

gates of Nottingham, with Robin's mutilated head on a pike, and 140 of the sheriff's men

lying in wait, and their camp in Sherwood Forest. It looks like Robin's reign of terror in the

forest had finally come to an end.
