373: European Fairy Tales: The Elements (part 1 of 2)

The story of Undine, by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, is a direct precursor to Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" and comes inspired by the soulless elemental creatures some alchemists thought populated our world. Really they just want to marry you and are mostly nice.

The creatures this week are the Sirena, the Boa, and more - extremely dangerous snakes who just want to drink way too much milk.
