Episode #048, Mythical Giants


Listen Later

Mythical giants are powerful, enormous humanoid beings. They appear in legends, myths and folklore from all over the world. There are mighty Celtic giants, like Cormoran and Gogmagog, and there are ginormous giants from central Africa. There are awe-inspiring Australian giants, like Crooked Mick, whose many incredible skills included kicking a crocodile to the Moon and baking pies so light that a gust of wind could carry them away. And there are gargantuan ancient Greek giants, like Pallas, whose skin was used as a shield by Athena during the cosmic battle between giants and the Greek gods.
