Ep 58 - Hwæt! Beowulf and the Anglo Saxons with The Saxon Storyteller

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with The Saxon Storyteller, a very near and dear member of our production team whose amazing art you get to see on each and every one of our episodes! Together with the boys he'll be discussing the Anglo Saxons and their most famous epic poem Beowulf. Will they actually manage to get through a decent summary of the poem, or will Mathias spend most of the time talking about how Charlemagne actually started the idea of the Crusades? Well... it's complicated.See more of The Saxon Storytellers amazing work at: www.instagram.com/thesaxonstorytellerAlso check out our Instagram: www.instagram.com/nordicmythologypodcastAnd if you like what we do, and would like to be in the audience for live streams of new episodes to ask questions please consider supporting us on Patreon:www.patreon.com/NordicMythologyPodcastWe've also reached our goal of 100 Patrons and are starting a new show where our hosts Mathias and Daniel watch and commentate along with the popular series Vikings!
