  The focus for this episode is the ImpossibleQuest that Commodus is calling “The Never-Ending Boss Fight”. So, we’ll be examining some stories of undefeatable warriors and epic duels. We'll start with a hero who has a centuries-long redemption arc – and along the way, he becomes immortal not just once but multiple times. Then we'll learn the story of a green knight who likes really weird party games, and we'll run through the series of duels that leads up to the end of the Trojan War.

  Vicious Cycles Episode 5: The Test of the Witch

  Jul 2, 202624 minS4

  In this episode, we’re going to look at the ImpossibleQuest he’s calling “The Witch’s Test.” Now, mythology is full of witches, sorcerers, mages, and other magical types – but they don’t all put heroes to specific tests. In Greek mythology, Circe and Medea do more to help Odysseus and Jason than to test them, and other witches like Grimhilde in Norse mythology are just interested in getting their own way, by whatever means necessary – the heroes are just obstacles to them. There are some, though, who take it upon themselves to make heroes prove themselves. So let’s hear a few of their stories!
