Hey there, welcome in. If it’s your first time here, it’s lovely to have you along, and if you’ve been around before, you already know how we do things. I’m Clive Gilson, your fireside storyteller, and this is Tales From the World’s Firesides, where ancient legends, forgotten folktales, and the strangest myths get a brand-new life. Today’s tale takes us into Armenian folklore, where princesses are far tougher than they seem, and mysterious folk can change everything. This one’s Legends of Artasches and Artavasd.
This version was adapted from Louis A. Boettiger’s telling of the same story, first published in Armenian Legends and Festivals (1920, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis). Thanks so much for hanging out with me today, it really does mean a lot. If this tale made you smile, gave you chills, or reminded you of something your grandma used to tell, stick around, there’s plenty more where that came from. I’ve got full collections of stories from across the Middle East, Asia, and beyond over on Amazon, check the link below: https://amzn.to/4kVf92t, and if you’re curious about the voice behind the mic, come say hi at clivegilson.com, I’m always happy to connect.

Until next time, stay curious, stay cosy, and keep those stories flowing, because every tale we share keeps something old and wonderful alive. Catch you in the next one!
