This week on MYTH, we’ll begin Monkey’s epic journey to the west to retrieve Indian magic. This is the second episode on the epic tale of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King. If you haven’t heard the first part, I’d recommend going back and listening. It’s not strictly necessary to understand this week’s story, but it provides a lot of back story on the characters which will be helpful. In this episode, you’ll learn how to get a dragon horse, that monsters have some funny ideas about what buddhism means, and that the best way to complete a quest is to have a god do most of the work. Then, in Gods and Monsters, we’ll find out how mistreating animals can create hellspawn.
