Here There Be Monsters

from The Strange and Unusual Podcast · host Alyson Horrocks | Morbid Network

Monsters have been with us from the dawn of humankind. The monster's history in our mythology and belief systems speaks to the many hidden needs and fears within the human mind. On this episode, we explore why the human mind has always needed monsters, through combat myths, Beowulf, an Egyptian creation myth, Greek tragedy, and more. And in homage to scary monster stories, it opens with a monster-under-the-bed tale I call 'Silver Eyes'.    'Silver Eyes' written by Alyson Horrocks Research Sources: 'Monsters: Evil Beings, Mythical Beasts, and all Manner of Imaginary Terrors' by David D. Gilmore 'On Monsters: An Unnatural History of Our Worst Fears' by Stephen T. Asma   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
