Baal is the storm god with a thousand faces—lord of thunder, master of rain, kingmaker, and shape-shifter who haunts the ancient Levant. His myth is a cycle of death and rebirth, thunder and drought, always on the knife-edge between power and defeat. Farmers, sailors, and kings all turned to him when survival hung on the weather’s whim. Yet Baal’s story is no simple legend: he was worshipped, reviled, transformed into a demon, and survives in memory long after his temples fell. This episode dives into the riddle of Baal—the god who refused to be forgotten, even by history itself. Explore more myths and wonders by visiting godsandmonsters.info.
