Story
Following the surge of interest and pride in Celtic identity since the 19th century, much of what we thought we knew about the Celts has been radically transformed. In The Celtic World, discover the incredible story of the Celtic-speaking peoples, whose art, language, and culture once spread from Ireland to Austria. This series of 24 enlightening lectures explains the traditional historical view of who the Celts were, then contrasts it with brand-new evidence from DNA analysis and archeology that totally changes our perspective on where the Celts came from.

Story
There’s an apocryphal story that Alexander the Great once captured a notorious pirate named Diomedes. The great conqueror decided to interview the doomed pirate, asking him what he thought gave him the right to seize the property of other people. The pirate responded by asking the emperor what he thought gave him the right to take property that doesn’t belong to him, including entire countries. The story goes that Alexander thought the pirate very clever, granting him freedom instead of execution.

Story
Mesopotamia is the ancient name for the region that is now Iraq, a remarkably advanced civilization that flourished for two-thirds of the time that civilization has existed on Earth. Mesopotamians mastered irrigation agriculture; built the first complex urban societies; developed writing, literature, and law; and united vast regions through warfare and diplomacy. While civilizations like Greece and Rome have an unbroken tradition of written histories, the rich history of Mesopotamia has only been recently rediscovered, thanks to the decipherment of Mesopotamia's cuneiform writing less than 200 years ago.

This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

Throughout history, women have played integral roles in family, society, religion, government, war - in short, in all aspects of human civilization. Powerful women have shaped laws, led rebellions, and played key roles in dynastic struggles. Some were caught up in forces beyond their control, while others manipulated and murdered their way to the top. However, unearthing their stories from the historical record has been a challenge, with the ordinary difficulties of preserving information across the generations increased by centuries of historical bias and gendered expectations.

The Roman Republic is one of the most breathtaking civilizations in world history. Between roughly 500 BCE to the turn of the millennium, a modest city-state developed an innovative system of government and expanded into far-flung territories across Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. This powerful civilization inspired America's founding fathers, gifted us a blueprint for amazing engineering innovations, left a vital trove of myths, and has inspired the human imagination for 2,000 years.

Publisher's Summary
In The Pagan World: Ancient Religions Before Christianity, you will meet the fascinating, ancient polytheistic peoples of the Mediterranean and beyond, their many gods and goddesses, and their public and private worship practices, as you come to appreciate the foundational role religion played in their lives. Professor Hans-Friedrich Mueller, of Union College in Schenectady, New York, makes this ancient world come alive in 24 lectures with captivating stories of intrigue, artifacts, illustrations, and detailed descriptions from primary sources of intriguing personalities.
In the ancient Mediterranean area, religion was not separate from daily life. To the contrary, religion was daily life. The many dozen gods of this ancient world were everywhere, with spirits inhabiting every crack and crevice of life. These polytheists believed they had a strict contract with their deities: If they took care of their gods, their gods would take care of them (or at least not harm them). Consequently, they built extraordinary temples to honor their deities, brought food and wine to them, sacrificed animals for them, and held sacred meals with their gods. In fact, they followed numerous rules and regulations that circumscribed almost all aspects of life both inside and outside the home - anything and everything to keep the gods happy. Consequently, the religious practices of the ancient Mediterranean make a wonderful lens through which to develop a deeper understanding of their world.

The Pagan World
Outstanding in content and delivery. Highly recommend. No bias for or against any religion would like longer treatment of Zooriastrian religion and Cristian heresies. Suggest review of Buddhism Shinto and Confucianism. Where does paganism exist today. What about pagan religions of early Great Britain and the Gauls.

85% Greece/Rome - Title is Misleading
Professor Mueller is, as he says, a classicist. So these lectures remain rooted in the spiritual practices of Rome and Greece. There are cursory visits to the Middle East and Asia, but I was hoping for something else— more of prehistory, ancient global religions, myth?
Well done, for what it is. Just wish I knew before I bought it.

great historical tour, great voice
Skillful, digestible coverage of ancient Mediterranean religions. It starts in early Egyptian worship and ends with Christianity becoming the official religion of the Roman Empire. It's not too fine-detailed, and not too superficial. Mueller strikes just the right balance for an educated listener. The professor's voice is pleasantly Midwestern but not twangy, and the vocabulary is academic but not technical. Much attention is paid to the fascinating relationship between religion and statecraft. Listening to this 12.5 hour presentation feels like going on an exhilarating world tour through ancient Egypt, India, Parthya, Sumeria, Greece and the vast territories of Imperial Rome. Delightful, insightful, and recommended!

Love the concept but.....
Admittedly I only got up to the Ancient Egyptian chapter.
I like the concept but the execution not so much.
This audiobook takes the form of lectures. Which I thought wouldn't be a problem to me. However, I found it a bit hard to follow (even with the PDF that's included).
I just feel that (for me, others can be different), that this form of "lecture" NEEDS visuals to keep the audience engaged.
Each part was very brief and I didn't exactly feel that much more knowledge was being bestowed on me than I could get reading a Wikipedia article and a history vid on youtube.

Well paced and well told.
I appreciated the depth and breath of this course. It stuck to the task with few tangents. It covered what seemed like the most important areas of pagan religion. I was more interested in the overall course than the deep dive into Roman life but I understand it’s importance. The story telling was excellent and I would love to have a glossary of the hundreds of words that form the roots of their English counterparts. Great lectures from a great lecturer. Thank you

Good topic, lackluster performance
Great and interesting topic, just not so thrilled with the instructor. He very much read his lectures and it was very apparent, almost like he was seeing it for the first time. And his mispronouncations? Don't get me started! If someone who teaches pagan religion can't properly pronounce "apostate," they should probably find a new profession.
However, the topic is quite interesting and I did learn a few things, altho much of it was kind of basic.. Worth a listen if you are scrambling for something or not really familiar with the subject, but not sure I'd go out of my way.

WARNING! NOT a history of the pagan world
This is a great lecture, well written, and well narrated, however the title is misleading. It is not the pagan world, but ONLY MEDITERRANEAN PAGANISM explored, and primarily pre-christian pagans of Rome, not even the wider empire.
No local deities, no lesser known gods, no exploration of pan or other pre-greco-roman religions.
Nevertheless, I especially liked the attitude of the lecturer, he was honest about his biases and reminded you what were opinions, and gave the sources for facts. (Other great courses lecturers can't help pushing their own agendas.)

Incoherent start, unsatisfying end, narrow scope
I honestly didn't think I'd get to the end of this book, because I just couldn't get into it. The instructor tries to be fun when he isn't, which is painful to behold but not a deal breaker. The real problem is that the early chapters are so disorganised and superficial that the whole experience is more akin to overhearing a conversation on a bus than sitting in on a university lecture. The occasional blunder makes the whole experience even more jarring (Odin a sky god? Seriously??)
The book improves in later chapters, but not enough to justify the time required to listen to it. As other reviewers already state, it only covers the Roman Pagan world, with occasional forays into Greece and India to fill in the Roman background. This period has been covered in a much more coherent and informative manner by Kenneth W. Harl in other Great Courses. If you are particularly interested in the conflict between early Christianity and paganism, I'd recommend his "The Fall of the Pagans and the Origins of Medieval Christianity." If you want to learn about pre-Christian religions outside the Roman world, I'd recommend one of the mythology courses available from The Great Courses, such as "Great Mythologies of the World" or "Classical Mythology."
Overall, this isn't as bad a course as it sets out to be, but it's just not good enough to compete with what else is out there.

not a very good text
the narration makes an awsome book, well resurched tacky and ... well ... smutty comes to mind . I have struggled on a little further with this book , and have finally given up . some of it is very informative , a lot is by an author who identifies with a pagan priest .
if this is an academic text . choose another subject .
