Sinbad the Sailor - Part 1 (of 2)

Published: July 29, 2020, 3 a.m.

This time, we return to the Thousand and One Nights to hear the Tale of Sinbad the Sailor, and his Seven Voyages. Interestingly, it wasn't in the earliest editions of the collection known as the Arabian Nights, and so likely developed as a story in its own right, but thanks to Galland's famous translation, this and some of the other famous stories became included in the collection as a whole. Sinbad has captured the imagination for centuries, so join us as we learn of what transpired on his first three voyages...
