Today we have pop culture references! We are going to look briefly at Tiamat, who shows up in some Dungeons and Dragons stuff, and then we are going to look at the god Nergal, who is a popular god in the Warhammer franchise under the name Nurgle, briefly comparing the Mesopotamian god with his fictional counterpart. Then, the meat of the episode will be one of the world's oldest romantic comedies, the tale of how Nergal came to marry Ereshkigal, queen of the underworld. Honestly, the show is going to mostly be the ancient myth, the pop culture references are mostly just me seeing if I can boost my podcast numbers. Online at oldeststories.net.
