About this listen

Dive into the timeless tales of gods and heroes in this bestselling A-to-Z encyclopedia detailing classic myths and legends—perfect for curious listeners and academics alike.

Edith Hamilton's mythology succeeds like no other book in bringing to life for the modern listener the Greek, Roman, and Norse myths that are the keystone of Western culture—the stories of gods and heroes that have inspired human creativity from antiquity to the present.

We follow the drama of the Trojan War and the wanderings of Odysseus. We hear the tales of Jason and the Golden Fleece, Cupid and Psyche, and mighty King Midas. We discover the origins of the names of the constellations. And we recognize reference points for countless works for art, literature and culture inquiry—from Freud's Oedipus complex to Wagner's Ring Cycle of operas to Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra.

Both a reference text for scholars of all ages and a book to simply enjoy, Mythology is a classic not to be missed.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Not quite what I was hoping for, the myths were very short and read in a dull and uninteresting fashion. The book might be well received by other readers, but it just wasn't for me.

Gods and how they lived.

What disappointed you about Mythology?

The delivery of the book is very robotic, I should have listened to the sample before buying.

Poor delivery
