Story: The Vengeance of Nitocris
Manage episode 428011574 series 1244951
Don’t swim for at least 30 minutes after a banquet… Around 2150 BCE, so the story goes, the Queen-King Nitocris sought vengeance on those who had wronged her. This tale comes from Herodotos, and in 1928 a young Tennessee Williams published his own version of the gothic stroy. In this bonus episode, I read Williams’ work for a bit of spooky storytelling…
- Herodotos, Histories, Book II, via Perseus.
- Tennessee Williams ‘The Vengeance of Nitocris’ at Wikipedia and Wikisource.
- The Vengeance of Nitocris by Rejected Princesses.
- Music by Kevin Manthei, from Vampire: The Masquerade: Redemption (2000). I played this a lot as a child, and it seemed to fit the tone.
- Outro music, “Killer Queen – Medieval Rock Cover” by Medieval Rock. Less tonally consistent, but when the Queen gives an order...
- Logo image: "The Vengeance of Nitocris," from Weird Tales magazine.
