What would it be like to know exactly when someone you love is going to die?
In this episode of the Mythical Menagerie, we visit Xanthos, the immortal horse of Achilles. Born from the West Wind and gifted with the power of prophecy, Xanthos carried the greatest warrior of the Trojan War into battle, and foresaw the fate waiting for him.
Join the Curator by the fire as we explore Greek mythology, immortal horses, the tragedy of Achilles, and one of the most haunting moments in the Iliad: the day a horse spoke and foretold the death of a hero.
Put the kettle on, mind the marsh paths, and step into the Menagerie.
