Two episodes are waiting for you at http://apple.fictional.fm, http://google.fictional.fm, http://stitcher.fictional.fm, or wherever you get your podcasts** ----- Wrapping up the story of Perseus, we'll see that fated confrontation with the eternally cosmetologically-challenged monster, Medusa, as well as fall in love. Turns out it's really easy to meet people when they are imprisoned beneath you. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The creature this time is the gargoyle, which ages phenomenally...because it's in indestructible dragon head. Unlike the monsters from that 90s cartoon that was awesome at the time but which did not age well at all... Sponsors! Spotify is a great place to find your podcasts.

0:00.0	This week, on the Myths and Legends podcast, we're finishing the story of Percy Simmedusa.
0:05.0	You'll see why you'll want to get really good with that rearview mirror,
0:08.2	because you might need it to be ahead of Monster. And, if your next flight needs to make
0:12.2	an emergency landing because the wings are covered in giant Monster Slime, things are really not
0:16.9	going well. For the creature this week, you'll see the perfect solution for clogged gutters.
0:21.5	Dragon heads. Not only will it solve that drainage problem, but it'll probably help with resale value.
0:26.8	The only catch? Well, you'll actually need to fight a dragon.
0:35.3	This is the Myths and Legends podcast, episode 80b. I'm set free.
0:44.6	This is a podcast where I tell stories from mythology and folklore. Some are incredibly

1:28.6	though it wouldn't be called that front of the generation. At first he had flown among the clouds,
1:33.1	but soon he drove down to view his homeland as only a god could. Or Balarifan, or Deadly Sinekurs.
1:39.6	Hermes had given him detailed directions, but the Percy's ended up not needing them.
1:43.9	The island itself was easy to find, and stood up from all the others. The other Greek
1:48.4	allies he passed over were green and beautiful, enrolled in a sea of sapphire. This one was
1:53.6	jagged and desolate, with a black, yawning cave protruding from the center like a gaping wound.
2:00.1	As Percy's approached, he realized that the rocks he'd thought were sharp crags.
