Summary

The epic story of Fatima, Dhat Al-Himma, the warrior woman, princess, mystic begins with the misadventures of her family line where they learn the perils of bad poetry, why you shouldn't marry genies, and it might be a bad thing to constantly rob your enemies when your bank account gets a little low.

0:00.0	Quick disclaimer, this week there's some stronger than usual violence and guys being menacing
0:04.7	towards women. Please see the post on mythpodcast.com for more info. This week, on myths and legends,
0:10.9	it's the story of Fatima, a warrior woman from Arabic literature, and we'll see that no amount
0:16.3	of camels is worth your family, that you'll want to coordinate your attacks with your enemy so that
0:21.2	someone can be there to fight them, and how poetry can mess up your life in a way that isn't

1:52.9	and a hundred gold denar. His people were free because of him. Because of her.
1:59.0	Al-Rabab had caught the conqueror's eye. Al-Hareeth had rode in to raid their village. He could have

2:19.1	eyes. Follow the prophet's example. Don't take her by force. Marry her. He heard the gas from
