Greek Mythology

Myths, Gods, Legends, and Heroes

By: Xena Ronin

Narrated by: David Pickering

This bundle of books takes you to every corner of Greek mythology. It ranges from gods to drama. It covers legendary heroes like Heracles and Oedipus, and it sheds light on the dark side of the epic saga of these made-up creatures, gods, and historical men and women.

Book one:

Do you know a lot about the Greek or Roman gods and goddesses? Yes, then a lot of this will sound familiar. No? Then this is a perfect guide for you.

In this book, many of the creatures and deities from Greek myths will be laid out, including their roles, powers, responsibilities, relationships, and background.

You will have a perfect image of the basics of Greek mythology, and you will understand the interaction between the gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus. Deities such as Uranus, Chronus, Zeus, Hephaestus, Poseidon, Helios, Apollo, Mars, and Aphrodite will be discussed in this extensive guide.

Book two:

As we explore the ancient deities from Greece (also copied and somewhat altered by the Romans), we can find many fascinating stories and dramatic characteristics in them.

Aside from looking at gods like Mercury and Hades, we will also look at stories that involve Eros (or Cupid), Psyche (the origin of a lot of our words in the dictionary), and the infamous and seductive nymphs and satyrs.

At the end of the book, more background information will be given about how the Greeks and Romans worshipped these gods and goddesses, as well as how they celebrated certain events and traditions.

Book three:

This collection of legendary stories and heroes contains mythological creatures, monsters, and gods. It has all the details of Perseus, Ion, Heracles, Achilles, and other brave figures who faced seductions, treason, danger, and mortal threats. Wars and battles have been laid out in this extensive guide.

If you are into epic heroes from the Greek mythology era, then this book is for you. You will learn all about those figures you may have seen on TV or read about in literature. It is a comprehensive overview with the most important elements of each of these protagonists.

Long enough, good enough

The 5 stars should really be 6 stars. Yes, that's it. You heard me. I feel it's so great that it ought to have 6 stars. In my point of view, it was quite great. There may perhaps have been a few barely recognizable mistakes in there, but they did not bother me. Whenever you can listen to a storyteller who is that good, and about a concept that you have an interest in, you do not care about the rest. That's the end of the story. It may perhaps have had a few errors, but they did not take away anything from the awesome info that this specific audiobook contains. You can learn a ton. I know that I did.

I highly recommend this.

The narration was excellent. The narrator was clear and smooth, and he captured the essence of the material and its mythical source.

I'm very impressed with this book.

I loved it. It wasn't that hard to finish. Too many moments to remember. I'd also like to say I enjoy David's voice.

My compliments to the author and the storyteller.

My compliments to the author and the storyteller. I urge you (as well as any person who reads this) to get this audio book. I loved it. I recognized a lot of the things the writer was speaking about. Some things discussed my head, but that's normal for any book that has been composed by a genius.

Nice

My compliments to the author and the storyteller. If I would need to outline it, it will be simply in just one term: Amazing! I am trying to mention one thing negative about this audio book, but I can't. It's just too great. So without further exaggeration, I simply believe everyone must consider listening to it.

Happy to have this.

Well done. The basic gist of this audiobook is that it is a fictionalization of some of the classic Greek myths. The pace, tone, and dialogue is modernized without taking away from the heart of the myths. While the characters might use anachronistic speech or terms, none of the immersion is spoiled. In fact, everything is much more relatable.

I wanted to say a thing about this audio book...

I wanted to say a thing about this audio book, and so I am putting in the time to write a customer review. I strongly recommend this audio book for several reasons. I think the first number of pages were my favorite ones, since the entire principle that the title describes, is explained. All the fundamentals are there. Later in the book, more depth gets included, and I believe this is what makes it so great.

You probably won't lament purchasing this book

You probably won't lament purchasing this book. It delivers what it claims it does. I am trying to mention one thing bad about this audio book, but I can't. It's simply way too good. So without any more exaggeration, I simply think everyone must think about listening to it. I've discovered that some books are pretty much garbage, and this saddens me. However, this book didn't follow that trend. It's actually really great. So, I appreciate it.

This audiobook should be offered an award...

This audiobook should be offered an award. That's just how good it is. This is an exciting audio book. Hence, the 5 star review I'm publishing. I learned a lot just by soaking it all up. The information was great, particularly if you already understand a little about the theme. Actually, you could understand nothing at all about it and still follow along effortlessly.

Not bad. As a matter of fact, I would...

Not bad. As a matter of fact, I would practically say that it's impressive. The difference between this one and some other audio books, is that this one is much more enjoyable. This was really worth my time. Finally, a narrated book that gives you what you want. One more point: The narrator seemed so good that I would most likely listen to it in the future. And perhaps more than once. I can't remember everything that's being stated in all these audiobooks, so it would be worth reminding me of what was being pointed out.
