A very good entry point to Greek Mythology

The audiobook is for people with no previous exposure to Greek mythology, and is great to give them a solid foundation upon which they can build on.

Most of the major deities and heroes are covered. The author uses the more commonly known versions of the myths so some more obscure details and variations are omitted.

The narrator does a very good job. Some slight mispronunciations of names, really obvious for a native Greek speaker, but won’t deter anyone else.

Overall, a very enjoyable book for someone who wants to explore the rich Greek mythology

I enjoyed the narration of Drew Kallen-Keck

I do enjoy Greek Mythology . The first half of the book focuses on the gods and their origin. The second half tells the tale of some of the more familiar myths like Jason and the Argonauts, Troy and Helen.
