Monsterology: Alexander the Great's Monster Fight (creating narrative imagery)

In this episode, I explore a monster that Alexander described in his letter home to Aristotle. Scholar-Artist Stephen Asma (author of bestselling book "On Monsters: an Unnatural History of Our Worst Fears" (Oxford), guides you through artistic and design methods to improve imagination and make more meaningful content. Each episode of Monsterology is a workshop that dips into the deep reservoir of culture, and makes art that is visually captivating and intellectually provocative. Asma plays with monsters, mythology, sci-fi, and the various sources of human vulnerability. Stephen Asma is the author of 10 books, and appears regularly in shows like Vsauce's MindField, Godzilla: King of Monsters (Blu-ray DVD), MTV, Oprah Radio, BBC World News, and so on.
