A god drinks a poison meant to unmake the universe — and lives, his throat stained blue forever. A man disguises himself as a bride to steal back his own hammer from a giant who thinks he's found a wife. A father throws his daughter into the sea and cuts her fingers from the boat's edge, one by one — and the ocean is born from what sinks. Legends Beyond Time tells the world's myths as stories — one complete legend per episode, start to finish, from every tradition still standing and every one that isn't. No sermons. Just the myth.
