Brothers Of The Serpent

Matt Shy joins us again with a presentation on another kind of legendary giant: dragons. We look at ancient depictions of dragons and giant serpents across the world from Sumer to China. We talk about the significance of the Ouroboros, about ancient artifacts depicting dragons and serpents, about the many ancient gods who were depicted as serpents, or had serpent or dragon-like aspects.   Support us through Patreon and get special episodes, early access, and bumper tunes!
