Dog Days: Chapter 20 - Murderous Fate Throws All His Triumphs Down

On today's chapter of Dog Days - the twentieth (only 10 more to go!) - Kit is taken, by boat, back to the underground Temple of Aphrodite. Morning is coming, and he hopes his sister, Bel Imperia's prisoner, is still alive. Yet, the court is in a state of jubilation. They believe they have killed 'The Kasal' - the wizard responsible for so many deaths. Though is the severed head on the pike beside the throne the right one? And do curses still work even after the person who wove them has perished? Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon. Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past... Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county. With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?
