The Sources
This is an incomplete list of the sources for The Myths and Legends Podcast, organized by episode number. These aren't all the sources per episode, but they are the main sources. There will be some repeats in here, for episodes that overlap or continue on previous ones (I'm looking at you, King Arthur). I'm working to get it up-to-date, and I will fill in extras like public domain versions of the stories where available.
As you can see, many of the stories are available online. As you can see if you click the links, they aren't in great shape. If you want to read the stories without all that wonderful 19th century diction, I would recommend investing in the versions I linked here.
All book images are clickable and all links to Amazon are affiliate links, meaning if you buy the book, the podcast will get a small percentage.
