In this episode of Cryptid Warfare Podcast, I welcome back historian Brice for another History Monday discussion. With the upcoming release of The Odyssey movie, we take a deep dive into the legendary story of Odysseus and the events that followed the Trojan War. We explore the history of the Trojan War, the decade-long conflict between the Greeks and the city of Troy, the role of Helen of Troy, and the famous Trojan Horse that helped bring the war to an end. We also discuss the adventures of Odysseus as he journeyed home, including his encounters with the Cyclops, mythical creatures, monsters, and other strange beings that have fascinated people for thousands of years. Were these stories purely mythology, or were they inspired by real events, real places, and real creatures? Join us as we separate history from legend and examine one of the greatest epics ever told.  Topics Covered:  The historical Trojan War (12th–13th century BC)Helen of Troy and the causes of the warOdysseus and his role in the conflictThe Trojan Horse and the fall of TroyThe Cyclops and other creatures from The OdysseyAncient Greek mythology and possible historical connectionsHow these stories continue to influence modern culture and film  Question for listeners: Do you think the creatures encountered by Odysseus were entirely mythical, or could they have been inspired by real-world sightings and events? #CryptidWarfarePodcast #HistoryMonday #TheOdyssey #TrojanWar     Ways to Support and Connect with Brice Witherow : ✅https://www.instagram.com/bricewitherow?igsh=dnJpYTRkem43aTRh  Help a brother out and buy me a Coffee  (Monthly or one time donation keeps the show going):We know there is room for improvement and have decided to ask you (Our amazing listeners) to help the podcast grow!
