Quick disclaimer, one character puts another in a controlling, abusive situation.

The story moves on from there, but it is present.

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

This week, on Myths and Legends, we're in Slavic folklore.

We'll see that if that creepy, controlling guy just wants to give you so much stuff for free,

you might want to take a second look at that contract. And that if a stranger in a bar offers to solve all of your problems,

and that stranger looks like a literal devil, it might actually be a great deal.

The creature this week is just making things difficult for people who want to cosplay as giants

with spiky clubs and chains with actual human heads on them.

This is Myths and Legends, episode 429.

The Devilkin made me do it.

Thank you. 429. The Devilkin made me do it. This is a podcast where we tell stories from mythology and folklore. Some are

incredibly popular tales you might think you know, but with surprising origins. Others are

stories that might be new to you, but are definitely worth a listen.

This episode is something of a Slavic fairy tale. Said in Eastern Europe, it's not super concerned

with place or history, but before we dive in, just a short note on some of the wording.

The originals use prince in place of a ruling monarch, where the prince is the ruler and

not the son of the ruler, I just went along

with that. So anywhere I say prince, it means basically king or czar. And real quickly,

there's a character named Dardavon in there. But I introduced him as Dardavan, and going back

over the episode, I guess I just flipped a coin every time I said the name because apparently I say both throughout.

I noticed this way too late to fix it and it would sound weird to add that many changes in post, so sorry if it's annoying.
