You know the names — Zeus, Medusa, the Minotaur, Icarus — but not quite the stories. Every time you open a mythology book it turns into a family tree of gods you can't keep straight, and the tale you came for never actually gets told. This is Greek mythology as storytelling. Each chapter is one self-contained tale, told with warmth, wit and full dialogue, from the birth of the world and the war with the Titans to the Olympians settling into their thrones and the great heroes going out to meet monsters. You'll follow Perseus and Medusa, Theseus in the labyrinth, the labours of Heracles, Jason and the golden fleece, Orpheus in the underworld, Midas, Icarus and Persephone — with the who-is-who woven in as you listen, plus a light word on what each myth meant then and why it still bites now. By the end you'll hold the whole Greek world in your head as stories, not footnotes. Press play and start at the beginning of everything.
