Mythology

Gods, Goddesses, and Legends from Around the World

Length: 7 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

This is a bundle of two books. The information on these two titles is described as follows: 

Part 1: Have you ever wondered about the Aztecs, the Mayans, the Inuit, or the Polynesians and their beliefs? Did they have myths like the ancient Greek civilization? Were there spirits, gods, or supernatural creatures they believed in? 

These are the topics of this elaborate guide. The false notions about these peoples will be outlined and debunked. The confusion will be done away with, as you listen through these explanations about how all these stories all fit together. 

Many of us don’t know much about mythological stories from these regions, and it is my pleasure and privilege to educate you on the intricate details that lie within them. That’s why I have also provided some fascinating facts and historical background about each of these peoples. Creation myths, legacies, the sacrificing of children, the empires, and their wars are all mentioned and touched on in this book. 

Part 2: The two conquering countries of the Second World War have not just been active in the 20th century, but both of their histories date way back. However, many of the things they did in the early days of their developing nations and peoples, were based on the things they believed.

Some of these beliefs were mythological creatures, nature spirits, symbols, and actual gods and goddesses with supernatural powers. In this guide, you will listen about some of the most intriguing of these. 

The book will cover Germanic mythology, which has many similarities and differences with Norse mythology in the same era. Topics such as famous animals, war symbols, Germanic civilization, practices, and rituals will be addressed.

The second part of the book will dive deeper into the ancient Japanese myths, dragons, swords, and other symbolically-related items and icons that will open your eyes to a completely different realm of presumptions. 

Together, the mythology of these two countries helps you understand the world of the ancients better.

Nice

I loved the book. It seriously opened my eyes to what people believed in, in ancient times. I don't know what else to say about it. Good stories.

Good narrator

I think the style in which this was produced, was excellent. I enjoyed listening to these strange myths and gods a lot. It tickled my fancy, just to use an uncommon expression.

Very interesting

I think myths from cultures around the world are very interesting. The stories don't always make sense, but I guess that is how some people who believed this, thought.

Understand content before delivering a reading.

Such interesting content unfortunately dreadful delivery.

It sounds as though the reader has no interest in the content but rather does so as a chore.

Not too shabby

Not too shabby. Actually, I would practically say that it's terrific. The ideas from the writer made a lot of sense to me. I agreed with everything, and that's yet another reason that I am so thrilled about this audiobook. The writer didn't randomly choose bits and pieces of bad suggestions, but instead, analyzed the claims enough.

2 in 1 is awesome

I benefited from this audiobook. It was an eye-opener. I was wanting to learn more about this topic anyway, so it was actually no coincidence that I ran into this. I listened to it, and certainly not to my surprise, it was precisely what I was searching for.

I usually love any books on mythology. But....

Boring. I enjoy almost anything informative on mythology. This is the exception. I'm very disappointed.
