I’m a big lover of mythology! I wish this audiobook was around when I was a kid. These short versions are written in such a fun manner using modern-day words. The narrator was amazing. He acted out the different voices of the characters. He brought new life into these classic tales of Achilles, the Great Warrior, the hero’s journey of Odysseus, and all the parts that other mere humans, mythological gods, and goddesses played. I felt like I was around a campfire listening to a master storyteller. It was such fun!

Delightful for Kids & Adults who are Kids at Heart

This is a great book for both adults and children. The stories all come from Greek mythology, and are told in a descriptive and captivating way. Each chapter is its own short story, featuring characters from the Iliad and Odyssey. From Judgement of Paris, to the Wooden Horse, to Penelope and the Trial of Axes, this book is a great way to get an introduction to Homer's work. It's a great book to read with your family and spend some quality time together.

It's been a while since I listened to a 4 hour + book in one sitting, but I had to, for this one. I was captivated. I mean, I love Greek mythologies, so I had heard of some of them like the Wooden Horse, but I didn't even mind repeating because they are so well narrated and the story is so tightly told that there is no wastage of words. Kudos for this book!

Attention grabbing!
