Summary

We're back in the world of King Arthur! It's been too long, and if you haven't heard our King Arthur stories (or it's been a while) then this is the perfect place to jump in. A beginner-friendly episode that kind of resets our timeline. I'm so excited to be getting back into the stories of Arthur and his knights because there are so many good ones still left to tell.

The creature is the hairy, greasy Yamataro (山童), your eternal reminder that, no matter how tempting it seems, to not sumo wrestle strangers on the road.

I'm not going to put the tooth link here because if you have to put on your website that you're following international law to the letter and on the lookout for human rights abuses you're kind of already in the wrong business.

This week, on Myths and Legends, we're finally back in the world of King Arthur.

0:04.4

You'll learn that having your mom demand you become a knight of the roundtable with no

0:07.7

experience whatsoever is a great look for a young warrior and that if you're rescuing a

0:12.0

princess, you're gonna want to make sure you're not actually kidnapping her.

0:16.6

Then on the creature of the week, it's a stinky greasy guy who just wants to sleep in your

0:22.4

bed.

0:28.3

This is Myths and Legends, episode 233A, the boy with no name.

0:37.9

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

0:41.2

Some are incredibly popular stories you might think you know, but with surprising origins.

0:46.0

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

0:50.3

King Arthur's back?

0:51.3

It's been a while.

0:53.2

Partly because we were slowly being crushed under the weight of our own continuity and

0:57.8

partly because I had written myself into a corner, but it's been almost two years since

1:02.4

we've had an Arthur episode.

1:04.2

That all changes like, well, I mean, you're listening to an Arthur episode, so now basically,
