from History for Kids / History's Not Boring: The Kids History Podcast · host SCL
Are you ready to meet the most famous monster in ancient history? Journey back to Ancient Greece to uncover the spine-tingling legend of Medusa! Imagine a terrifying creature with living, hissing snakes instead of hair, whose icy stare could turn any human into a solid stone statue in exactly one second. Yikes! How could anyone possibly defeat her? Enter Perseus, a brave young hero sent on an impossible quest. But he can't do it alone! Discover how Perseus gets magical help from the Greek gods, including super-fast winged sandals, an invisibility helmet, and a gleaming bronze shield from the goddess Athena. Along the way, you'll meet the hilariously gross Grey Sisters—who share exactly one eyeball and one single tooth!—and learn how looking at a simple reflection saved the day. Plus, find out what majestic, magical flying animal sprang out of Medusa at the very end of the story! Join Mira and Finn on an epic adventure filled with monsters, magic, and totally wild mythology!
