Description

For Episode 13, it’s time to dive deep into mythology and folklore with Hellhounds! Hellhounds and black dogs make their mark on cultures around the world from ancient Greece to the early and late modern era of English folklore. Associated with death, hell, flames, and chains, stories find these creatures leading funeral processions, bursting into churches, guarding the gates of hell, and running in the Wild Hunt. Join us!
