It can be easy to ignore the darker parts of history, but sometimes a spotlight needs to be brought on it. Today in Canada, we have National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

It’s understandable for cultures to share or influence each other in their mythology. One that’s shared in East Asia is the nine-tailed fox.

We’ll often complain of another unneeded sequel, sometimes written without the involvement of the original author at all. Hate to say it, but this is not a new thing for storytellers. The granddaddy of them all is the ‘Telegony’. Never heard of it?

This use of the siren is just the most recent version of how she's been depicted over the centuries.

Constatine I (also known as Constatine the Great) is the reason the question “when did the Roman Empire fall?” can be tricky to answer.

It sounds strange, but there was a time when an English home was taxed by the window. Appropriately called the Window Tax, it lasted from 1696 until July 24, 1851 when it was repealed.

In honour of the legendary Ozzy Osbourne, let’s take a look at the genre he helped pioneer. This is more modern in time than we usually go, but get your horns ready and let’s go!

It’s hot, it’s humid, and there’s another thunderstorm coming. Who’s responsible for this?! In Greek mythology, that would be Notus/Notos (Auster in Rome), one of the Anemoi.

There’s a joke that, if asked, when was the first car race, it’s the day after the first car was invented. We can’t rule out that privately it happened, but in an official capacity it took some time.

It’s rare that an exact moment of fashion changing has a date. July 21, 1645, is one such example, although this was a change with political meaning.

Sometimes, it’s what that event did to change history that is what is important. July 16 has two events: the 1st testing of an atomic bomb, and the launch of Apollo 11.

Stonehenge was briefly mentioned in yesterday’s post on the Summer Solstice, but we felt that it needed its own post to really do it justice.
