Myth: The First and Last Word is a biweekly program examining the diverse myths of our world. Join me, Echo Cain, as I tell these myths and discuss their cultural heritage, their implications on a people, and what may have led a people to write the myths they did. We'll consider small folktales and epic poems within the same month, placing an emphasis on equity amongst story. We'll ask what myths say about gender, sexuality, race, religion, and class to better center our understanding of the ancient world and its effect on the modern one. Listen... Do you hear the first word?

EP 39 - What Oldest Human Didn't Know (Season 1 Finale)

Content Warning: Brief mention of death.

In this episode, I tell a modern myth entitled "What Oldest Human Didn't Know". Normally I cannot tell myths from the modern day, as they are typically inaccessible under copyright law. This story was written by myself, and thus I am able to record it. The tale tells of the Oldest Human's once-in-a-decade walk, the transformation of a boat, and the chance meeting of the Oldest Human and a young child. The themes of the story include the concepts of cyclicity, the lacking of knowledge, death, and natural transformation.

Today, I leave the analysis up to you. You can find a written copy of the myth on my website (linked below). Feel free to send me a response at theechocain@gmail.com. 

Thank you for listening!
