This week, on the Myths and Legends podcast, is the story of Deadly Snickers.

after Theesius was born in treason, but before the penethanite games, and the war with Crete.

Deadly's strained into the weight of the sack he had slung over his shoulder, as he walked through

Athens. He just needed to get out of the city. One after another, people asked the famed
