The King, the Wolf, and the Sword: The Martyrdom of Saint Edmund

In this solemn and powerful chapter of early English history, New American Mythos recounts the martyrdom of Saint Edmund, a king who chose faithfulness over survival. As Danish invaders descend upon his kingdom, Edmund is given a choice: submit and live, or stand firm in his allegiance to Christ. Refusing to bow, he endures capture, torment, and death, bearing witness not through victory in battle, but through unwavering conviction. Yet even in death, strange signs follow, as creation itself seems to honor the fallen king. This story stands as a testimony to a different kind of courage: the kind that yields the crown of earth to receive the crown of heaven.

The Potion and the Ruin: "Tristan and Isolde"

In this darker chapter of the Arthurian world, New American Mythos tells the tragic legend of Tristan and Isolde: a story not of heroic triumph, but of love that refuses its rightful place. After a fateful love potion binds them together, a loyal knight and a queen find themselves caught between passion and vow, secrecy and honor. Their hidden bond slowly corrodes the trust of King Mark’s court, revealing how kingdoms are not always destroyed by enemies at the gate, but by desires that grow stronger than duty. In the end, the legend stands as a warning: when love becomes a rival king, even the brightest courts begin to fall. Stay in touch and support the show!

The Sword and the King: "The Legend of King Arthur"

In this episode of New American Mythos, we step into post-Roman Britain, where the death of a king leaves the realm fractured and waiting for order. When a mysterious sword appears in stone, the sign of rightful kingship comes not to the ambitious lords who seek it, but to an unknown squire named Arthur. What follows is not instant glory but a hard founding—war to secure the crown, mercy that tempers power, and the creation of Camelot’s Round Table, where strength is bound by oath and fellowship. Arthur’s rise reveals a deeper question that echoes through history: can authority be received as a burden of justice rather than seized as a prize of ambition? Stay in touch and support the show!

The Saint's Triumph: St. George and the Dragon

In this episode of New American Mythos, we retell the enduring Christian legend of St. George not as a simple tale of heroism, but as a moral drama about fear, worship, and true courage. A city learns to bargain with terror until terror demands the unthinkable; a princess discovers courage not in conquest but in trembling obedience; and a lone saint confronts both the dragon in the marsh and the deeper dragon of imperial power that demands the soul’s allegiance. Moving from monster-slaying to martyrdom, this episode explores how kingdoms are defended not only by swords, but by conscience, and why the greatest victory is not surviving, but refusing to kneel when fear asks for worship.

Justice in the King's Land: "Robin Hood" part 2

The second part of our Robin Hood saga shifts from forest skirmishes to a moral reckoning between outlaw justice and royal power. As Robin offers silver to redeem a fallen knight, humiliates an abbot, and walks into the sheriff’s trap disguised among archers, the story crescendos toward betrayal, death, and the memory of a freedom that could not last. This is not just a tale of arrows: it is a warning about the costs of justice when it touches power, and the hunger for righteousness that persists even when courts fail.

The Greenwood Outlaw: "Robin Hood" part 1

In this first of a two-part retelling, New American Mythos returns to the rougher roots of the Robin Hood legend—before the polish of princes and stage-plays. Set in the shadowy greenwood of early ballads, this episode follows a sharp, morally bracing outlaw who defies corrupt sheriffs, tricks the law with wit, and seeks not rebellion but a justice beyond the reach of kings. With tones of hunger, prayer, and pride, it asks what kind of man emerges when law and righteousness part ways, and whether the forest makes saints or simply sharpens sinners.
