Leviathan, the Great Sea Serpent, Part 2: Into the Chaos Waters
from Historical Blindness · host Nathaniel Lloyd
Here's part two of my series on sea serpents! In this episode, much like the mythological motif of a god wrestling against a serpent that represents chaos at the dawn of creation, we see science struggling against the notion of sea serpents in the 19th century, which would throw their scientific worldview into chaos.
