The Age of Fable

Bulfinch’s Mythology, Book 1

By: Thomas Bulfinch

Narrated by: Mary Woods

Many of the world's travails may be traced to the displacement of mythology by the age of science. Knowledge today is often deemed useful only if it enlarges our possessions or raises our station in society. If instead the criterion were to make us happier and more virtuous, mythology would have retained its proper place in society.

The Age of Fable is Thomas Bulfinch's brilliant reconstruction of the ancient myths and legends that form the backbone of Western culture. Drawn from a variety of classic sources, including Ovid's Metamorphoses, Egyptian myths, Eastern mythology, and Hindu, Norse, and Celtic works, these selections form a remarkable tapestry of human endeavor: dreams, illusions, adventures, and loves. Included are the legends of Cupid and Psyche, Venus and Adonis, Hero and Leander, Hercules, and many others.

Weird feedback loop

Could be a great recording but, has an annoying echo. It's frustrating to listen to.

Okay book

Okay story, but terrible background echo noise makes it very hard to pay attention, disappointing. :(

Background Sound

Constant talking in the background. It’s so distracting, it’s hard to pay attention. Just awful

That they even read the poems and I had know idea there were so many gods in Greek mythology

I liked the whole book
I can’t think of anything I disliked at the moment

Echo and Sounds like a bot

There is an echo that is extremely distracting and the voice sounds like An AI voice.
