An Excellent Children’s Work

This is a brief audiobook written at a children’s level. It is very good. It is approximately 15 minutes. Just don’t overpay. Thank You

A must read for Mythology fans

I taught Mythology and Folklore more than a year ago, and if I remember correctly, this story was included and we briefly discussed it in class. Even if I am not teaching the subject now, I think it is still the perfect time to revisit the story in its entirety (because who knows what might happen in the near future? I am referring to my teaching stint, of course!). It was a fun and engaging story, except maybe for the ending, because once again, Hera benefited from everything that happened. Mythologies indeed serve as a reminder that those at the bottom are often the sacrificial lambs of the powerful and elite. The moral may be dark, but I still think this story is worth introducing to kids.
