The Immortals Among Us

Greek Mythology’s 10 Key Figures and Their Modern Counterparts

De: Vera Darax

Narrado por: Gary Roelofs

The gods and heroes of Ancient Greece never truly disappeared. They live on—in the brands we buy, the films we watch, the leaders we follow, and the ideals we hold dear. They are the immortals among us.

The Immortals Among Us is a fresh exploration of Greek mythology through a modern lens. Instead of treating Zeus, Athena, Hades, and the rest as distant relics, Vera Darax reveals how these ancient figures remain archetypes that shape our world today. Power, wisdom, rebellion, desire, redemption—these are not just mythical themes; they are human realities that continue to guide the way we tell stories, create culture, and understand ourselves.

In this captivating book, you’ll encounter:

• Zeus, not only as the thunderbolt-wielding king of Olympus, but as the timeless archetype of authority—the modern CEO, president, or titan of industry.
• Hera, whose jealous vigilance over her marriage echoes in the role of political spouses, matriarchs, and guardians of tradition.
• Athena, goddess of wisdom and strategy, alive today in visionary leaders, innovators, and brilliant problem-solvers.
• Poseidon, embodying the wild, untamable forces of nature and emotion, from climate disasters to volatile artists.
• Hades, misunderstood ruler of the underworld, reflected in those who manage the hidden, necessary structures of life—morticians, auditors, regulators.
• Prometheus, the rebel Titan who gave fire to humanity, reborn in modern whistleblowers, disruptors, and pioneers who defy authority for progress.
• Aphrodite, the irresistible goddess of love and beauty, alive in the world of influencers, celebrities, and the power of attraction.
• Apollo, the golden god of order, truth, and art, reflected in visionary creators and perfectionists who shape culture and technology.
