Thanks for mentioning this, Brian. It ended up being my pick of the week for the episode which should be released early next week. (I just noticed your comment now, so I guess we must have been on the same wavelength.
)

For the stags and the serpent near the stream, you might want to look at the Middle English version of the Physiologus (it’s probably one of the sources for the bestiary tradition); the stag has an interesting description there as having a strategy of drinking water from a stream to counter the serpent’s poison.

Thanks again for your comment, Brian! Will definitely have a look.
