Leaders & Legends
Episode 5 of History's Greatest Myths looks at the leaders and legends who have shaped the course of history. Many become legends even in their own lifetime, others are history's greatest villains.
This episode focuses on great leaders like King Arthur and Joan of Arc but conversely, follows up on myths that question the circumstances surrounding the death of Anastasia Romanov and the even more infamous Hitler. The unexpected death of great leaders is difficult to process, so the assassination of JFk and that of the Swedish Prime Minister Olaf Palme, swirl with talk of conspiracy. A lingering myth of the importance of the Illuminati in today's society gives credence to the idea that there are always powerful people pulling the strings on a world stage.
These are figures whose mythologies outlive their real influence and actions and whose legend remains with us, sometimes for millenia.
