This week, on the Myths and Legends podcast, we're continuing the story of Bay of Wolf.

As he trudges into the swamp to fight Grendel's mother, and you'll see why decluttering

your house every now and then might just save your life, especially if your house is a stinking

monster layer at the bottom of a cursed lake. The creature this time is one that you actually

do want watching you sleep, which is a nice change.

This is the Myths and Legends podcast, Episode 60b, The Depths.

This is a podcast I tell stories from mythology and folklore. Some are incredibly popular stories

you think you know, but with spricing origins. Although there's stories you might not have

heard, but really should. This week's episode is brought to you by Lincoln and the Bardot.

From George Saunders, New York Times best-selling author of 10th of December comes Lincoln in the

Bardot. His long-awaited first novel featuring none other than Abraham Lincoln. A moving father-son

story, Lincoln in the Bardot breaks free of its historical framework into a supernatural realm

that's both hilarious and terrifying. It's on sale now, published by Random House,

available wherever books are sold. Previously on the podcast, we met Bay of Wolf,

a Gita Shiro from modern day Sweden. He went to the Danish Kingdom of Rothgar because Grendel,

the monster, was terrorizing Rothgar's meat haul. Bay of Wolf killed Grendel, everyone partied,

and then that night another monster showed up and killed King Rothgar's best and most

trusted warrior before fleeing into the night. Real quickly before we get today's episode started,

I've long suspected that I was mispronouncing Geats, and I've heard that in old and middle

English it would be closer to Gaats. Thanks to Kristen for reaching out with help on this one.

I really confused people when I switched the Irish pronunciation's mid-story when I did the

toine, so I'm just going to keep calling them Geats for the story, just for simplicity's sake.
