This week on myths and legends we're finishing the story of Undine, the water elemental who married so she could get a soul, and you'll see why you don't want to berate your spouse in public, mainly because that's not a kind or respectful thing to do, but also because you could have a whole ocean of water monsters come after you.

The creature this week is Sorgas, a shimmering glowing African ram with a secret.

This is myths podcast where we tell stories from

mythology episode 374 mermaider.

This is a podcast where we tell stories from mythology and folklore.

Some are incredibly popular stories you might think you know,

and others are tales that might be new to you,

but are definitely worth a listen.

Last week on the podcast, we started the story of Undine.

Undine is a water elemental who, adopted by a Fisher couple

so she could meet a human man,

marry, and obtain a human soul. Well, she did that last week with Holdbrand, a night who went to the

haunted forest, where Undine lived with her family, so he could win the favor of Bertalva,

the daughter of the nobles back in town.

Leaving the haunted forest, Holdebrand and Undine travelled with the priest.

Father Hileman, when they ran into someone on the road before them, Undine's magical water elemental uncle,

Koolibor. Kula born shook his fists and made faces at Undine, until she cried.

I'm not sure how scary these faces were, or if Undine at just a very low threshold for shaking

fists and scary faces, but Holdbrand had to step in. He had taken a while because, you know, different

families are different. He didn't know if this was like a greeting or something that they did.

Oh, wow, different families are different.

Great wisdom, Mr. Knight.
