Resumen del Editor

Get to know the Greek gods and goddesses, from the mighty Zeus, to the temperamental Poseidon, the beautiful Aphrodite, and every character from A to Z.

Who wouldn’t want to hear about Zeus and his command of lightning, Hades and how he found his bride, the wisdom of Athena, and so many other stories that capture the imagination.

These stories can do more than just entertain; they can also inspire and teach us lessons that were penned by the Greeks themselves.

Starting with the creation myth, this audiobook will take you through the stories of the Titans, introduce the Olympians, bring in the demigods, and sneak a peek at the monsters that made up the mythology.

You’ll learn who all the gods and goddesses were in relation to one another, mythological explanations for natural events, and why any of this still matters today.

In addition, you’ll discover:

  • The names, powers, and significance of all the major Greek gods and goddesses
  • Rich stories based around the Greek pantheon
  • Moral lessons and cultural values important to the Greeks, preserved in their mythology
  • A brief history of Greek civilization and how they worshipped their gods and goddesses
  • Creatures of Greek mythology that still feature in modern tales today
  • And so much more Greek history!

Up on Mount Olympus, along the shores of the Mediterranean, and deep in the Underworld, gods, goddesses, demigods, and creatures linger in the mind and stories of an ancient culture.

This culture gave us science, philosophy, and a rich mythology that never stops enticing us.

To appreciate the power of their stories for yourself and become absorbed in a world so like and yet unlike our own, buy this audiobook now.

Great short summary of the Greek mythos

Overall it was great! Merged Hecate with Hera in Persephone's story and didn't mention any of the minor gods besides hestia and Dionysus where they play just as big if not more of a roll in most stories than the Olympians or titians. I would have adored the book of it did focus in a bit more on the deities (even minor) and culture in context. Most of what the book included was well researched and concise besides the mix up with Hecate.

Depth of information is quite good

You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the rich and varied world of early Greek literature thanks to this tidy little reference. It's not really entertaining because there's so lot crammed into a short CD, but the author has managed to make it simple and approachable. This is a fairly basic reference written by an expert on the subject, and it contains a generous bibliography of suggested audio and books for additional research

Love Greek mythology

I only knew Greek mythology from what I read or heard; I had never taken a formal course in it. Sincerely, before I randomly decided to start listening to this audio, I wasn't even curious about it. I now want to learn more and more by digging deeper. I particularly liked how Russo demonstrates the relationship between ancient myths that were produced by the human mind and contemporary civilization.

Lovely audible!!

Greek mythology has always interested me, but I never gave it much thought. The structure of this audio is excellent; each of the gods, goddesses, etc., receives sufficient explanation, describing their unique characteristics and indicating which area of humanity they were most influential in. Enjoy it

Such a great book.

Really well done. This is comprehensive, makes a profound leap, and presents the idea in an engaging and illuminating way. It truly is a page-turner. Handling the Greek deities and goddesses is undoubtedly a daunting task, yet it is completed here with flair and attention to detail, providing much more than I had hoped.

Great place to start!

This audio is excellent. It is VERY instructive, and I want to use it to help my community become more educated and spiritually strong. I appreciate you explaining this great pantheon in such a simple and direct way. I hope you have more audios or maybe books on this and other pantheons because it is really nicely written. I sincerely appreciate it.

I enjoyed this introduction

The audiobook is organized so my son didn’t have a hard time listening to it and finding what he specifically needs for his research paper.

Fabulous

I originally purchased this book for a school project for my daughter. I had no idea going in, that I too would fall in love. The story is timeless and even as an adult, it held my attention that entire time! I have already listened to the entire book twice, but yet plan to buy the hard copy for my personal library.
