About this listen

In this retelling of a true historical poem from 991 AD, the New American Mythos stands with Byrhtnoth and his men at the estuary of Maldon, where Viking raiders came not for tribute but for conquest. With honor and sorrow interwoven, the episode explores a fateful decision—to allow the enemy across the causeway, and the cost of courage laced with pride. What unfolds is not a tale of victory, but of memory: the kind of story a people carry long after their swords have rusted.
