In this, the first prose history in European civilization, Herodotus describes the growth of the Persian Empire with force, authority, and style. Perhaps most famously, the book tells the heroic tale of the Greeks' resistance to the vast invading force assembled by Xerxes, king of Persia. Here are not only the great battles - Marathon, Thermopylae, and Salamis - but also penetrating human insight and a powerful sense of epic destiny at work.

So, to help you enjoy this audiobook, the intricate stories of betrayal, supernatural powers, love, and hatred are described in detail in this guide.

Paying attention to every detail, Amy Hughes collected many stories, myths, legends, and tales of the pagan Scandinavian rituals, gods, and heroes. Narrated in such a descriptive way, the stories will transfer you to a time long gone, and you’ll feel as if you’re been a witness to the Viking’s incredible history! But this book does not only present the mythological, abstract world of Scandinavian beliefs and religion.

Whoa
Merry Christmas to me! I saw this 9, almost 10 hour book and jumped on it with my credit. That's when you know you found a good deal.... well, if the quality is good, of course. And yes, it was. I listened and I liked it a lot. Good narrator, good content, good enough style. It was all worth it. Thanks.

Interesting
Well, it's all there, the whole shebang. All you need to know about Greek mythology. I guess you can put all that in almost 10 hours of reading. I don't think the author missed anything. He got all about Heracles, the gods, the heroes, and even some of the figures you never hear about. Did he skip any part of Greek mythology? I don't think so. So yeah, just get this and then forget the other books, unless you want some specific commentary or someone's opinion. This is the info, and there isn't much else to it.
