Schoolboy Errors - 25 x 5 stars misleading

Having listened to some excellent mythology books on audible- mainly from Greek but also Norse- I bought this to learn some myths of cultures I wasn,t as familiar with.

I have only listened to just under two hours of this but I don't see my 1 star review as premiture.

It begins (and ends for me) with the Greek myths. The errors begin early on referring to a dispute Zeus settled between Hera and Hades over Persephone- not as it should have been between Demeter and Hades.

The next blinding error appears in the passage describing Apollo. Talking of the music contest between Pan and Apollo- Lewis says Apollo turns Midas EYES? Into the eyes of a Donkey for judging in Pan's favour. The logic of that is crazy even if you don't know the myth it's a far more logical thought to think Midas must have the EARS of a donkey to think Pan is sounds superior.

A passage relating to the Trojan war during the overview of Aries states that Athena Aries' lover and the god of love and beauty persuades him to join the Trojan side. Aphrodite is of course the true god of love and beauty and lover of Aries.

I honestly find it mindblowing this has 25 5 star reviews and that was one of the main reasons I bought the book. This should not be in the market let alone rated 5/5. I am no mythology scholar but someone who has basic knowledge of the Greek myths. This should have been proof read/listened to before release by someone who actually knows the myths to correct errors. Hard to believe it hasn't.

I have lost faith in this audiobook as a result of the basic inaccuracies and have no confidence to continue to the myths of cultues I know less well as I believe I will be learning with further inaccuracies. This is hugely dissapointing as the main reason for purchase was broadening my knowledge into new cultures.

I hope this helps you save your time, money and allows you to avoid similar dissapointment.

Erm it's wrong

I'm a big fan of Greek mythology and I enjoy roman and Egyptian mythology as well. thought I should learn about others and thought this book looked good as an introduction to new mythology. I'm not listening 10 minutes when the reader (who has a nice story voice) says that Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Hera when in all the old Greek mythology stories it states that Persephone is the daughter of demeter not hera. if this book gets something this well know wrong I don't trust it to introduce me to mythology I don't know.

Inconsistent and incorrect

I got this book as a lover of mythology, and will I know a fair bit about Greek myth I was interested I all the other mythologies covered.
Greek myth is the first chapter covered. And I found that there were a few errors within the first few minuets. Errors that are later corrected. I only listened for 35 minutes total before giving up.

A list

Mmmm could be better it’s like listening to a shopping list. Very disappointed. Try again. Perhaps it’s the narrator.

terrible pronunciation

interesting stories made intolerable by incorrect pronunciations (esp. of names). it's also quite an abridged account which leaves out many interesting stories/aspects.

Love the stories

However I am disappointed that the Norse section seems to, literally be a copy of Neil Gainman’s Norse Mythology and would’ve liked some different myths to be told.

Facts

I actually got what i expected from this book. The length of the book almost put me off but after taking time to listen i discovered it was well narrated and the time actually fits. I love the introduction, actually got me prepared for every chapter of the book.
