Publisher's summary

A treasure trove of intrigue, drama, and passion.

If you want to listen to the best myths and captivating stories of gods, supernatural beings, and heroes with extraordinary powers, then keep reading...

Ancient mythology is the foundation of the world. Every civilization and culture has its own myths, legends, and heroic acts that defines them. Myths tell the stories of our ancestors and the origins of the world. Stories that have been formed by people from all over the Earth, throughout all of time.

All over the world, there are marvelous stories - stories that, once upon a time, were believed to be true but are today limited to the sphere of ancient myths and legends.

Did you know that many consumer products get their names from Greek mythology?

Nike sneakers are the namesake of the goddess of victory and the website Amazon is named after the race of mythical female warriors. Many high school, college and professional sports teams (Titans, Spartans, and Trojans, for instance) also get their names from mythological sources.

Escape from everyday life to the timeless tales in Ancient Mythology from the earliest known myth: the epic of Gilgamesh to the heavenly journey of Ra, the mythical realms of Chinese mythology, and much, much more.

Fine!

I enjoyed listen this audio-book. It is a very nice overview of the major mythologies of history. It explains some things that I did not know and it made me realize how many themes some mythologies have in common even though they were from different regions.

This is such a great deal!

All the myths from around the world.... well, maybe not all of them, but you can get a lot of myths here that you probably never heard of. That's what makes this audio-book unique. It's not the typical Greek or Roman mythology, but Inuit, Aztec, African, etc.

Great audio-book

Nice job! I liked the Polynesian mythology the best, since I've just seen Moana and felt connected to the Polynesian people.

Excellent

I very much enjoyed listening to this audio-book. The info is something I was looking for. Saying that, it delivered what I expected. Great value. Nice myths, especially the Inca ones, those were my favorite. And the Polynesian ones reminded me of Moana.
