Story
Most of the great Greek stories and epic tales are initiated over women, which is exactly what happens in the very beginning of The Iliad by Homer. The Trojan War has been waging for nearly a decade, and really erupted when Helen, the wife to Menelaos, was kidnapped and thus launched the "thousand ships" in pursuit of her. This is the reason that the Achaians and the Trojans have been fighting each other for so long. Achilles, who has become hero to the Greeks, is given the present of a slave girl for his excellence in battle.

Hesiod's Theogony is a large-scale synthesis of a vast variety of local Greek traditions concerning the gods, organized as a narrative that tells how they came to be and how they established permanent control over the cosmos. It is the first Greek mythical cosmogony. The initial state of the universe is chaos - a dark, indefinite void considered a divine primordial condition from which everything else appeared.

Paradise Lost, along with its companion piece, Paradise Regained, remain the most successful attempts at Greco-Roman style epic poetry in the English language. Remarkably enough, they were written near the end of John Milton's amazing life, a bold testimonial to his mental powers in old age. And, since he had gone completely blind in 1652, 15 years prior to Paradise Lost, he dictated it and all his other works to his daughter.

The origins, history and authorship of Beowulf are shrouded in uncertainty. This heroic epic probably began, as most do, with a wandering troubadour strumming a stringed instrument, sitting before a hearth-fire, and singing the verses to a spellbound audience arrayed before him. Beowulf is a rousing adventure story, filled with intrepid heroes, monsters and fire-breathing dragons, which can be listened to for the sheer enjoyment of the tale.

In this, the first prose history in European civilization, Herodotus describes the growth of the Persian Empire with force, authority, and style. Perhaps most famously, the book tells the heroic tale of the Greeks' resistance to the vast invading force assembled by Xerxes, king of Persia. Here are not only the great battles - Marathon, Thermopylae, and Salamis - but also penetrating human insight and a powerful sense of epic destiny at work.

Krishna Dharma has condensed the epic into a fast paced novel that fully retains the majestic mood of the original.

The Epic of Gilgamesh was written on clay tablets over 4,000 years ago, in what is today Baghdad Iraq - the Biblical Garden of Eden between the Tigris and the Euphrates. Lockwood gives a passionate reading from a text that faithfully follows the original.

Not the best reading of a classic text.
It's a great story, but the reading is a bit robotic. It's short though, so it's forgivable. Good for a short car ride.

Narration sounds off
This sounds like it was narrated by a text to audio program. Very AI-ish

The Babylonian epic of creation. How Tiamat was slain and the earth was created and Marduk gained supremacy.
Babylonian epic about how Marduk gained supremacy over all the other gods by defeating Tiamat. After Tiamat was slain her body was used to create the earth. The creation of humanity was an afterthought in this story. A few times the story was somewhat repetitive but overall it is short and to the point. The Babylonians main God was Marduk so no surprise in this epic it explains how he gained preeminence.

Absolutely abysmal narration.
She has zero emotion, and honestly I thought she was an 'auto-reader' but... Turns out, she's just bad.

Old english...
it would be much better to have a modern English translation . Why not just leave it in the original language since Elizabethian English needs to be translated for modern people

Bringing to life 4500 ya
The reading was sufficient to be a hearer of a story from the olden days. What people listened to as their religion. Quite an experience from that POV.

Lots to decipher
Read this after it was recommended in another text. It is written in riddles almost that can be reread to understand new meanings. Short read! I did not like the reading of this audiobook. It made it hard to get connected with the story.

Ok but no context
probably buy a different one. reading is a little stilted. possibly that's a deliberate choice. there's no context and at the end there's like a 1 minute alternate version? context please.

not that great but not horrible either
the main problem with this is that the author is narrating what was originally a song. Combine that with parts of the texts that are just plain missing. Unfortunately this makes it a very difficult listen. Though you might want to listen to it if you can't slog through the text, which is what I did. It's not very long so if you can endure the lousy narration, you can finish it. it would be nice if somebody took the innumerable ish and translated it into a fantasy novel or something much more consumable.

Tip For Listening
The narrator it's not very good. She does speak very clearly but is very monotone, without emotion, and fast.
However, I found that slowing the speed down to 80%, made it almost perfect. Great mythical story though.
