Uncovering Greek Mythology: A Beginner's Guide into the World of Greek Gods and Goddesses

De: Lucas Russo

Narrado por: Jared Zak

Get to know the Greek gods and goddesses, from the mighty Zeus, to the temperamental Poseidon, the beautiful Aphrodite, and every character from A to Z.

Who wouldn’t want to hear about Zeus and his command of lightning, Hades and how he found his bride, the wisdom of Athena, and so many other stories that capture the imagination.

These stories can do more than just entertain; they can also inspire and teach us lessons that were penned by the Greeks themselves.

Starting with the creation myth, this audiobook will take you through the stories of the Titans, introduce the Olympians, bring in the demigods, and sneak a peek at the monsters that made up the mythology.

You’ll learn who all the gods and goddesses were in relation to one another, mythological explanations for natural events, and why any of this still matters today.

In addition, you’ll discover:

• The names, powers, and significance of all the major Greek gods and goddesses
• Rich stories based around the Greek pantheon
• Moral lessons and cultural values important to the Greeks, preserved in their mythology
• A brief history of Greek civilization and how they worshipped their gods and goddesses
• Creatures of Greek mythology that still feature in modern tales today
• And so much more Greek history!

Up on Mount Olympus, along the shores of the Mediterranean, and deep in the Underworld, gods, goddesses, demigods, and creatures linger in the mind and stories of an ancient culture.

This culture gave us science, philosophy, and a rich mythology that never stops enticing us.

To appreciate the power of their stories for yourself and become absorbed in a world so like and yet unlike our own, buy this audiobook now.

Couldn’t stop listening

Usually I pause my audible books here and there or will sometimes even divide them in a few days but it was not the case with this one. Greek mythology is a topic that i can never learn enough about and im always looking for new books to expand my knowledge on it, and Russo did a great job with this one. It has extensive and detailed information on all there is to know about Greek Gods, Goddesses and anything you can imagine in between. Im probably even getting the physical copy to actually read in a future again.

Very entertaining!

I guess this is very cool! It is a little bit small of an audiobook in original timing. However, it's great to have in a bag for delivery.

Great storytelling and stories

The person who read this book was really good. He was exciting and made the stories sound really good. Just very enjoyable to listen to.

Wonderful Introduction.

I'd never engaged this type of work, despite my advanced age. this book is amazing and will enrich the lives of all that read it.

loved it!

So much to love about this. Human nature is laid out so plainly. The stories of heroism so inspiring. The narration was also excellent.

Loved the voice reading the stories!

I loved the way the he brought the stories to life! Felt like I was there!

Absolutely stunning.

This Audio covers all the important aspects of Greek mythology, it is very easy to understand, and you will then be really invested in the topic.

Great short summary of the Greek mythos

Overall it was great! Merged Hecate with Hera in Persephone's story and didn't mention any of the minor gods besides hestia and Dionysus where they play just as big if not more of a roll in most stories than the Olympians or titians. I would have adored the book of it did focus in a bit more on the deities (even minor) and culture in context. Most of what the book included was well researched and concise besides the mix up with Hecate.

Depth of information is quite good

You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the rich and varied world of early Greek literature thanks to this tidy little reference. It's not really entertaining because there's so lot crammed into a short CD, but the author has managed to make it simple and approachable. This is a fairly basic reference written by an expert on the subject, and it contains a generous bibliography of suggested audio and books for additional research

Love Greek mythology

I only knew Greek mythology from what I read or heard; I had never taken a formal course in it. Sincerely, before I randomly decided to start listening to this audio, I wasn't even curious about it. I now want to learn more and more by digging deeper. I particularly liked how Russo demonstrates the relationship between ancient myths that were produced by the human mind and contemporary civilization.
