Lindworms Uncoiled: Serpents, Dragons, and European Folklore

About this episode

Join us as we unravel lindworms—the fearsome yet fascinating serpent-dragon of European folklore. We’ll compare Swedish legends with Central European depictions, explore their roles in heraldry, and retell famous tales from Klagenfurt to Worms, including the Prince Lindworm. Plus, a timeline of key appearances and characters shows how these creatures shift in meaning across cultures.
