Thor takes solace in his father Odin’s words, which I’ve drawn from the Viking book of etiquette, Hávamál:Ĭatch the beginning, middle and end of this full-length tale, plus a myth of seduction and vengeance on Sunday, Apat 7 p.m. Little do they know they’re both victims of illusory magic, and they are competing against impossible odds, even for Aesir.Īt the tale’s surprise ending, the truth emerges. As the Frost Giants roar with laughter, the god of thunder looks over at Loki, who has lost an eating contest earlier, and is embarrassed, too.

Fun show.īring a friend for some adult storytelling. You can hear it live, with thunderous music and Hercules’ deep, furious voice, at the Riverwalk Cafe and Music Bar in Nashua, NH at 7 pm tomorrow night. That’s not quite the end of the battle, but as a clever labor, it’s one of my favorites. With his arrows, he proceeds to shoot them out of the sky. Since only their feathers are brass, not their bodies, Hercules can soon see bare patches on their wings. Instead, he crouches beneath his shield as the brass feathers rain down, then jumps up, unhurt, and yells curses while ringing the bell, bringing the birds again and again, each time diving under his shield. He bangs the bell, startling them into attacking him. Not long after, he’s standing in a field, watching the hundreds of giant birds in trees above deep guano, skulls and bloody clothing. Hercules knows Eurystheus is trying to kill him by sending him on deadly missions like this, so cleverly he takes an extra-wide bronze shield, his arrows poisoned with VX-like Hydra blood (one touch, you’re dead) and a big bronze bell. They’ve infested the forest of Stymphalos and have been carrying off sheep and unattended children, who they peck apart and devour.
