#5 - Eglė Žalčių Karalienė - The Most Famous Lithuanian Folktale

Dear listeners,

Today, I want to share with you a Lithuanian folktale that has its roots deeply embedded in the past, far predating any traces of written Lithuanian. Eglė Žalčių Karalienė is a tale about sorcery, unpredicted love and involuntary betrayal, that has been passed on verbally for millennia. Rich in mythology and life lessons, I believe it would make a great listen for anyone interested in Lithuania, its culture and language.

I suggest turning on the subtitles for a more comfortable listening experience. Install Language Reactor to translate the Lithuanian titles into your native language.
