Great Stories !
The narrator reading the book does a great job making the stories exciting. They use their voice to make you feel like you're with Odysseus or watching Achilles fight in Troy.
If you're new to Greek myths or already love them, this audiobook is a fun way to enjoy these old stories. Each story is short, only 10 minutes, so you can listen whenever you have a little time. It's a great pick for anyone who likes myths, no matter how old you are! I would recommend it !

Attention grabbing!
It's been a while since I listened to a 4 hour + book in one sitting, but I had to, for this one. I was captivated. I mean, I love Greek mythologies, so I had heard of some of them like the Wooden Horse, but I didn't even mind repeating because they are so well narrated and the story is so tightly told that there is no wastage of words. Kudos for this book!

Greek Minutes
Wow what a book!!!
We listen to books as a family. Our boys are in school learning right now about the Ancient Greeks. Joy Chester has written a great book and the narration by Phil Thron is excellent. In fact the boys were taking notes to impress their school mates and his narration required very little pausing and/or rewinding.
The concept of 10-minute chunks of of such legendary stories is brilliant. In today's ever shortening time span world i can't think of a better way to get through to kids like our boys. The accompanied PDF is also a great resource, thank you for that!
We thoroughly enjoyed this book as a family and Highly recommend it.
