This audiobook is jam-packed with fascinating facts and stories. For instance, it covers perhaps the most popular of all the Egyptian stories - the myth of Osiris. Pieces of this story have been found throughout Egypt. One of the most appealing aspects of the Osiris myth is the human-like behavior of the gods within the story. Many of the other gods of the Egyptian pantheon were rather emotionless and their stories far less interesting. With the Osiris story, the gods display a broad range of emotions that made them more real to mere mortals.

Great collection

This is a fine book of tales that came from ancient Egypt. It includes the Gods, tales of magic, and tales of Adventures. I think this book is a good way to teach to kids how Egyptian Mythology saw life. It's much like the mythology books about other ancient cultures.

Easy to follow and understand

Any additional comments?

This is an ideal must-have book for anyone researching the belief, gods, and goddesses of ancient Egypt. It provides a unique and likely history of the creation and content of Egyptian religion and outlines the myths and fables through the various repetitions possible, and The Book of the Dead. It's a great sourcebook for the many religious cities and the different combinations of deities that controlled in each one. Just an excellent book.

just a starting point

Any additional comments?

There is a lot of useful erudition about Egyptian Mythology. The book left a lot of topics in my mind, ones that would search more deeply and clearly into their gods and mythology and flesh out the details. But, this book is a good source point for anyone who is engaged in their belief system.

Very informative book on Egyptian Mythology

Any additional comments?

When I was a kid I would spend countless hours reading about Greek gods and their stories. So much to learn from them.
This Audiobook has helped me re-connect with this old passion of mine and refresh some of my knowledge.

amazing

Bought this book for me and my son and absolutely love it! Visted Egypt many many times as a kid and it was nice to revisit it all.

It’s a compilation of facts & myths, but not many stories

If you’re a factoid, you’ll love this book. As a person trying to get an idea of Egyptian gods, I found it lacking. It was dry & the author poured over long fact sheets of gods & Egypt’s past rulers. When finishing the book, I was as confused as ever about Egypt’s past.

Stories of the Gods, Goddesses, Monsters

Any additional comments?

Heroes, Gods, and Monsters of the Greek Myths offer easy-to-read, easy-to-understand stories about the great Greek myths. I don't find several Audiobooks available and sort of gave up on getting a harmony of ancient Greek stories.

amazingly enlightening read..

I learned so much. I'm motivated to learn even more. The reader ofthe book was magnificent.
