Hi everyone,

I would like to hear the stories, legends, myths and tales you were told (as a child) about the Benin Empire / Benin City / Edo.
Ultimate goal is to write up/illustrate these for my children, and my children's children, to read, love and start a tradition of keeping this in our family.

I heard the story of how the Great Walls of Benin and the Benin Moat was made by a giant coming out of the river and "scraped" his one foot around the Kingdom of Benin as to protect it from any that want to harm it. Stories like that is what I am looking for.

Hopefully some of you can help me with this? It would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
