Quick disclaimer, there are some adult situations this week as well as some stronger than usual

violence.

Please see the post on mythpodcast.com for more info.

This week, on Myths and Legends, we're back in the stories of 1,001 nights.

We'll see that being turned into an ape and exiled is sometimes the preferable solution

and that if a party ends with everyone trying to murder you, well, that's apparently just

a really great party.

The creature this week is a giant, folksy grasshopper who wants to murder you.

This is Myths and Legends, Episode 313.

Party Down.

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

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

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

Today, we're back in the tales of 1,001 nights.

In general, I like to avoid multi-part episodes nowadays, but this one was too good.

There are genies, people turning into apes, weird parties, it's just super fun.

We wrapped up the large narrative with Taharazad a few months back, so we're just going to jump

into the actual story with a porter, just a normal guy going to work, who's about to

have a great day.

The porter was a porter, and it was another day of being a porter.

You carry some things to some places, you carry different things to others.

That was the name of the game.
