The Legendary Tales Myths, Legends, and Notorious People
-
- Historia
Every week we take two legends in history, investigate what brought them to the public eye, and look at the sources that can verify, or disprove their existence. Our topics range from biographies of legendary people, to spells cast with a Unicorn horn. Adam is an American journalist who is new to the supernatural and Isadora is a History major from England who believes that without legends history would be very boring indeed!
