The ancient Greeks knew incredible warriors when they saw them. The African continent featured often in Greek myth, Egypt as well as regions typically referred to as Libya and Ethiopia, these are the Greek myths featuring those people and places. Listen to Legendary Africa on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Legendary Africa host Theshira's suggestions for more on African mythologies and lore: Giraffe's Eggs and Other African Tales by L.M. Daini, Afro Tales Podcast, By the Fire Podcast, and No Be Juju: An African Mythology Podcast. Call for Atlantis questions and comments! Submit them here.
CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
Sources: Theoi.com, namely the Fall of Troy by Quintus Smyrnaeus; Early Greek Myths by Timothy Gantz. Spotify playlist of episodes mentioned.

0:30.0 | Oh hi hello nerds, this is let's talk about myths baby, and I am your host live back on my old shit. |
0:42.0 | Well we're finally leaving that never actually reallured lost world of Atlantis behind. |
0:47.8 | Can you believe it? |
0:48.9 | I want to thank you all for telling me how much you've enjoyed this series too. |
0:51.8 | It's really meant a lot to me and has been super motivating. |
0:54.9 | I was worried as I said because it is so different and it's really all about my bursting bubbles and destroying dreams of some epic story of Atlantis from the Greek world. |
1:03.9 | Still I thought it was important to cover in the way that I did and you all agreed and I fucking love that. |
1:08.9 | So thank you for being the best. |
1:10.9 | Still we're not going to leave Atlantis behind forever because now I want to hear from you. |
1:16.9 | This story has been so affected so completely altered by modern lore and understanding that it's unrecognizable from Plato's original allegory. |
1:26.9 | And that is the most mind-boggling part of the story. |
1:30.9 | But what blew your mind from my Atlantis series? |
1:33.9 | What was the most shocking or most affecting piece of information that you learned? |
1:39.9 | And for that matter what questions were raised for you in the episodes that you would like to have answered? |

1:49.9 | I want questions, comments, thoughts on Atlantis and my Atlantis series and you can submit them at the very bottom of the page at mythsbaby.com slash Atlantis or just click the link in this episode's description. |
2:03.9 | As with the Atlantis episodes I've already done, I'm not going to dive into detail about conspiracy theories because I don't want to give them air time. |
2:11.9 | But I'm happy to address certain details or quick debunks in terms of major theories and locations because I do think that can be helpful. |
2:18.9 | So if you found a suggested notion for Atlantis that you want to hear more about more about why it simply can't fit the existing ancient Atlantis narrative, please do submit it and I will do what I can. |
2:30.9 | And submit your questions before the end of February, please. |
2:34.9 | But that's for another day. |
2:36.9 | Today in honor of Black History Month, I am bringing you the Greek stories of Africa or rather the one big one because as I do love to remind you, the ancient Mediterranean was deeply interconnected and everyone interacted with everyone. |
