Brothers Dimm Podcast
@brothersdimm.bsky.social
In the early 1800s, the Brothers Grimm collected & recorded German folk tales, launching what's now known as the modern fairy tale. Join Philippe, Mike, and guests as they explore one story at a time with humor, history, and digressions at every turn.
Joyous News! Mike has returned from Foreign parts and we are getting busy with the new season of the Brothers Dimm podcast! There is much to discuss! There is much to pour over! There is much for Mike and I to completely misunderstand and get wrong about the stories!

In Greek mythology, when Zeus and his brothers freed the Cyclopses, they each received a magical item in thanks. Zeus got thunderbolts, Poseidon got a trident, and Hades got a helmet of invisibility. Ironically, the god of death was the only one who didn't get a weapon. #MythologyMonday
Top off, half gone, all gone: a home shares a cat and a mouse who are friends and they store a pot of fat in times of need in a church. When the cat goes to visit family, he takes some fat, but then hard times come, the fat is gone too: and the cat must eat. #FolkloreSunday
In Norse mythology, when the god Odin is dining in Valhalla, he gives all of the food on his plate to his two wolves Geri ("Ravenous") and Freki ("Greedy"), who are always sitting at his feet. Odin himself eats and drinks only wine. 🎨Ludwig Pietsch #FolkloreSunday
The Welsh enchantress Ceridwen is far more than a witch in a cauldron. Keeper of the potion of wisdom, she pursues the boy Gwion Bach through a remarkable series of shape-shifting transformations that culminate in his rebirth as the great bard Taliesin. #FairyTaleTuesday
Atalanta is one of Greek mythology's greatest heroines. Raised in the wilderness and renowned for her speed, she joined the hunt for the Calydonian Boar and vowed to marry only a man who could outrun her. Rather than waiting for destiny, she created the rules herself. #FairyTaleTuesday
The crown of laurels awarded in ancient Greece began as a simple wreath of bay leaves sacred to Apollo. Victorious poets, athletes, and musicians wore them as symbols of excellence, reminding us that achievement deserves recognition beyond wealth or power. #MythologyMonday

Redcaps are murderous goblins from Anglo-Scottish folklore. They inhabit ruined castles along the Anglo-Scottish border, especially ones infamous for wicked deeds. While most fairies fear iron, redcaps wear iron shoes, and they dye their caps red with their victims' blood. #MythologyMonday
