Vicious Cycles Episode 4: The Hunt for Lost Treasure

For this episode, we’re going to dig into what Commodus is calling “The Hunt for the Lost Treasure”. We start with one of Shahrazad's own stories: The tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. Then, we explore some lost cities -- some of which are purely fictional, and some of which have some very real history and archaeology behind them! Visit the World of Mythik website to learn more and to contribute your theories to our board! All stories told on Myths & Muses are original family-friendly adaptations of ancient myths and legends. Stories from ancient mythology can also sometimes deal with complicated topics for young listeners — to the mortal parents and caretakers reading this, we encourage listening along with your young demigods to help them navigate those topics as they explore these epic tales.
