Hey guys, it’s your girl Pandora, welcome to my latest unboxing video. Charles and Crofty join me to unpack my jar of evils, on the way learning of the creation of humanity, the trickery of Prometheus, and how the story evolved from Ancient Greece to the present day. https://www.patreon.com/theHistocrat https://www.twitter.com/The_Histocrat https://bsky.app/profile/thehistocrat.bsky.social Mythillogical logo + Thumbnail art by Ettore Mazza.

On our second ever solo episode, Charles takes a deep dive into the briny seas of the 18th century, to track the origins of the phantom ship of legend. Over the course of a hundred years of voyaging we'll watch the slow development of the Dutchman from merely an unfortunate vessel doomed by storms and plague, to an ill omen for all who encounter her. https://www.patreon.com/theHistocrat https://www.twitter.com/The_Histocrat https://bsky.app/profile/thehistocrat.bsky.social Mythillogical logo by Ettore Mazza.

In the second part of their examination of Fairies, Charles and Crofty tour the fairy ruins and otherworlds of both Ireland and Scotland. Here they delve too deeply into the unique fairies and pagan gods that call those nations home, and explore some of the darker sides of how fairy belief was treated in centuries past. https://www.patreon.com/theHistocrat https://www.twitter.com/The_Histocrat Mythillogical logo by Ettore Mazza.
