In this episode, we delve into the myth of the Persian monster known as the manticore.

This terrifying creature is said to have the body of a lion, the wings of a dragon, and the head of a human with sharp teeth and three rows of spiked tentacles. Its venomous tail is capable of killing its prey with one deadly sting.

But the manticore is more than just a fearsome predator - it is also said to possess magical powers, including the ability to speak and the gift of prophecy. In ancient Persian tales, the manticore is often portrayed as a wise and fearsome guardian, guarding the gates of the underworld and protecting the secrets of the dead.

Join us as we explore the origins and cultural significance of the manticore, and delve into the myths and legends that surround this fascinating creature.
