Myths & Legends by  Robbie Mitchell   September 16, 2023 When it comes to biblical lore there is one character so shrouded in mystery and controversy that scholars have spent centuries arguing whether she even counts as a real biblical character or not. Lilith, the woman who is said by some to have preceded Eve as Adam’s spouse may not be a name familiar to all. But her presence in ancient texts and folklore has left an indelible mark on discussions surrounding the Garden of Eden, creation, and the early days of humanity. So, who is Lilith, where did she come from and what role did she play in the original creation narrative?

Share article Robin Hood Legend has it that Robin Hood was an outlaw living in Sherwood Forest with his ‘Merry Men’ – but did he really exist and if so, how much of the legend is true? Ben Johnson 4 min read Legend has it that Robin Hood was an outlaw living in Sherwood Forest with his ‘Merry Men’ – but did he really exist? There are several versions of the Robin Hood story.

  Perseus 🛡 Perseus :: The slayer of Medusa Myths / Heroes / Perseus The only son of Zeus and Danae – and, thus, a half-god by birth – Perseus was one of the greatest heroes in Greek mythology, most renowned for beheading the only mortal Gorgon, Medusa, and using her severed head (capable of turning onlookers into stone) as a mighty weapon in his subsequent adventures. These famously include the slaying of the sea monster Cetus which led to the rescuing of the Aethiopian princess Andromeda, who would eventually become Perseus’ wife and bear him at least one daughter and six sons.

This makes Perseus both Heracles’ great-grandparent and his half-brother, both a symbolic predecessor and a worthy peer. Perseus’ Early Life Perseus was the demigod offspring of the unusual union between Zeus and Danae: the supreme god came to the imprisoned princess of Argos in t...
