Publisher's Summary
Read by Paul Newman, Sidney Poitier, Kathleen Turner, and Matthew Broderick, here are the stories of the immortals of Olympus - the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece - as freshly described as if they were alive today.
Mighty Zeus, with his fistful of thunderbolts; mischievous little Hermes; grey-eyed Athena, godess of wisdom; Asclepius, the first physician; Orpheus and his beloved Euridice; Helios the sun, crossing the heavens in his fiery chariot.... these and other equally fabulous figures are featured here with their heroic deeds and petty squabbles illuminated in full dimension.

What the Critics Say
"For any child fortunate enough to have this generous book...the kings and heroes of ancient legend will remain forever matter-of-fact; the pictures interpret the text literally and are full of detail and witty observation." (Horn Book)

"Overview of the Classics"
Where does D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?Effectively concise summaries of the Major Greek Myths with Scripts read by Poitier, Turner, Newman and Broderick, the American classical artist. It can be listened to in about two settings since the reading is about 4 hours. My take away was pure enjoyment! There is about fifty stories and Each story is read in about 2 to 9 minutes.
