S2 E1: African Myths of Creation, Death, and the Afterlife

Unlimited Opinions is back! In Season 2, we're reading Myths & Legends, a compendium of world mythologies edited by Jake Jackson. In this episode we look at Sub-Saharan African myths of Creation, especially the Yoruba stories of Olorun, Olokun, Obatala, and how they created the world and humanity. We also look at various stories of Death, including the Krache story of the giant Owuo and his ever-blinking eye. We also discuss how darkness was unleashed according to the Kono, the Dahomean pantheon, and the Kakiru story of Wanjiru. Join us as we look at the modern-day relevance of ancient myths and what we can learn about them in the first episode of Season 2 of Unlimited Opinions!   Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinionsGive us your opinions here!
