Story
Before science, there were myths. Today, we see them as fiction, but in the past, myths were a way to explain all the natural phenomena that surrounded mankind. History Academy’s brand-new book will tell you all about ancient Greek, Egypt, Norse, and Japanese mythologies. By listening to this book, you will enter a world that is neither legend nor history. You might consider this book a sort of "hybrid" between reality and fantasy. The text is based on folk tales, beliefs, and sightings, but also on old official documents that are often more disturbing than horror stories.

Story
A missing child draws Deputy Daniel Clark into a bizarre investigation that leaves him questioning what he just witnessed. Trained to trust his instincts and to pay close attention to detail, his rational brain is at war with what he has seen. Something very strange is happening in rural Sloan County, Missouri. Nothing in his experience has prepared him for anything like this. More disappearances only make the mystery deepen as the Sheriff tries to cover up what’s really going on. Clark enlists the aid of other deputies who, like himself, have seen things that don’t make sense.

From the Orange Prize-winning, internationally best-selling author of The Song of Achilles comes the powerful story of the mythological witch Circe, inspired by Homer's Odyssey. In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe has neither the look nor the voice of divinity and is scorned and rejected by her kin. Increasingly isolated, she turns to mortals for companionship, leading her to discover a power forbidden to the gods: witchcraft.

Narrator keeps messing up
I feel like this should have edited out the mistakes. Do not buy the great courses is better an every time the narrator messes up he clicks his fingers and starts again. It’s not even like this is a cheap book. Audible has really gone down hill lately

Waste of a credit
This is fine for the kiddies. They probably won't even notice the mistakes in narration. Has more in common with Tanglewood Tales than a serious study (which the cover thumb nail leads one to expect).
If you want something to listen to while you are doing the housework, okay.
If you want a more in-depth studt, stick to Robert Graves, et al.

Good but to much inappropriate stuff
I like the book a lot and it teaches you a lot about Greek culture and myths.However, I hate the fact that it is inappropriate in some bits and it uses the words seduce, seductive, lay with (someone) and an inappropriate word that I cannot even say so if you hate these words than you should reconsider buying the book but in general it is great.

Fabulous! Highly recommended
I’m about 2/3s of the way through the book. I cannot stop listening. Before choosing this book about Greek Mythology I read countless reviews and summaries on other similar books. Some I sampled and didn’t care for the narrator’s voice. Others the reviews were too mixed for my liking. After listing to sample of this I just felt like it would be a good listen. I think the author does an amazing job of describing the different gods and goddesses. Not an information overload but good stories of each one. I could follow everything with out “spacing out” or feeling lost. The narrator does a phenomenal job as well. Sometimes all it takes is a bad reader or voice to make you loose interest. I would rate this as a 20 star if I could and highly highly recommend the book to anyone looking for a good listen and learn about Greek Mythology. I cannot praise it enough.

too much story about heroes
Very good narrative. But the story is a bit boring in the second half. Big part of the second half is entirely dedicated to Hercules and the Trojan war, which are way too long and boring.

Good collection
You’re never going to find a collection with every Greek myth in it, but this one is reasonably extensive. The narration is also good, and there aren’t a lot of pronunciation problems like you find in some collections.
