War - Myths and Monsters 3/6 - True Story Documentary Channel

War has been a constant in human history. All civilisations have grappled with the questions it raises. It is no surprise then that myths of war are among the most enduring.

In this episode, we show how the Romans explained their violent ways through the bloody tale of their founders Romulus and Remus. We explore the role of the mysterious Valkyries in Norse myth and what that can tell us about the Vikings. We show that war can make myths out of men too, revealing how Vlad the Impaler acquired his gruesome nickname. And we examine the great Ancient Greek epic The Iliad, and ask why its story of the Trojan War still speaks to us so strongly to this day.
