Description
Before Agamemnon and Achilles, Troy had a messy encounter with a sea monster, Heracles, and some very fancy horses.CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.Sources: Early Greek Myths by Timothy Gantz; Theoi.com entries on the Trojan Ketos and Poseidon; JSTOR article: The Capture of Troy by Heracles by J. M. Scammell; quote from Homer's Iliad translated by Samuel Butler.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.
