Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]Most people think they know a little Red Riding Hood. They know a version [music] of it, the story they were told as children.

[00:00:06]But there are earlier versions and those [music] end very differently.

[00:00:10]I'm James. This is Mythic Tides.

[00:00:14]One day her mother sent her into the forest a cake, a small pot of butter, a path through the trees to grandmother's house >> [music] >> in the village beyond the mill. No warnings, no instructions about wolves or woodsmen or the particular dangers of being young and pretty and alone in the dark.

[00:00:33]Just a basket, just a girl in red, just the forest. I'm James. Ancient mythology, dark folklore, the creatures people genuinely feared.
