Christmas Yuletide Special: The Pig #4
At this time of year, when pork will be served on many a holiday plate, we turn our attention to the pig – an animal both loved and loathed since ancient times. What are its mythological connections?
Join us in the divine muck, where we encounter kings and goddesses from Greek and Norse Mythology, as well as Celtic Druids and a fearsome ghost pig from the Swedish midwinter forests.
