EPISODE · Dec 20, 2023 · 1H 7M
Olga of Kiev
from Arcanum Obscura · host Obscure Kitten
I heard a bit of this story a while back, I believe I saw it in a little short video, like a youtube short or something and what I heard of her has stuck with me and I've wanted to cover it for some time now and finally decided to do it this week. I also believe, even though I talk about it in the episode, that the saying "hell hath no fury liked a woman scorned" should 100% be about Olga, even though the quote comes froma play nearly 1000 years after her life. I don't want to say too much about Olga here for fear of ruining the story but Olga was from viking heritage, she was a warrior, a princess, a vengeful wife and a Saint. That's a lot of accolades for one person and she damn sure earned all of them.
