More DescriptionAn oral tradition in a key historical figure in the Niger Delta Region of Africa circa the late 18th Century. Set during the reign of the Benin Empire, The Legends of King Odum, are stories told from the natives a century before Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. King Odum, is an actual figure from the late 1700s. As a young Amayanobu (King) in the Niger Delta, during the Portuguese exploration of the West African coast, Odum is forced to relinquish his throne in order to save his kingdom from enslavement by neighboring tribes.
