The story of Troy speaks to all of us - the kidnapping of Helen, a queen celebrated for her beauty, sees the Greeks launch a thousand ships against the city of Troy, to which they will lay siege for 10 whole and very bloody years. It is Zeus, the king of the gods, who triggers the war when he asks the Trojan prince Paris to judge the fairest goddess of them all. Aphrodite bribes Paris with the heart of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of the Greeks, and naturally, nature takes its course.

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.

Japan is a single nation, but its origins are so old, and often, so fragmented, that unified mythology and folklore can be difficult to point to. Still, there are some key texts, tales, and characters we can focus on which will give us a pretty good sense of Japanese mythology. In this audiobook, you'll discover stories of mystery, horror, and romance while simultaneously learning about the Japanese culture.

Ancient Egyptian civilization is so grand our minds sometimes have difficulty adjusting to it. It lasted 3,000 years, longer than any other on the planet. Its Great Pyramid of Cheops was the tallest building in the world until well into the 19th century and remains the only Ancient Wonder still standing. And it was the most technologically advanced of the ancient civilizations, with the medical knowledge that made Egyptian physicians the most famous in the world.

botched telling of beautiful myths
the story is ok I guess, though it repeats itself often and gets incredibly cheesy. DEFINITELY not an accurate source for learning egyptian myths. More like a fiction novel inspired by the myths rather than an accurate telling. Not to mention completely made up ideas. Just one of many irritations in this book; the myth of Osiris's death was almost indistinguishable from any telling of it (i kid you not, the author has Set and Osiris get into a fist fight!!!) Overall, don't buy unless you want to waste money on what is essentially fanfiction.

After years of study into the Egyptian myths and countless stories and segments of stories, hearing these spoken with passion and joy brought many of the Gods and stories to life in ways I have longer for. It is approachable, fun, and full of wisdom for those that seek it.

Far below expectations
I initially purchased this book in order to know more about Egyptian mythology and the core values of their belief systems. This book falls short. While it provides several stories, it doesn't provide context for the tales or place the tales within the larger Egyptian context or society. The narration is a bit dry and lacks nuance.

I listened to this after finishing Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman and it turned up in my recommendations. As interesting as Egyptian mythology may be, i found it difficult to enjoy the same way as the previously mentioned book. This book is good for facts and information, but not as much if you're looking for a whole experience.

Great Book to Start learning Egyptian Myths
Great book full of many wonderful stories told by a narrator who brings a spark of joy to the readings. It’s very easy to read ancient history books in the same dull monotone voice. But Mr. Hunt really helps bring the old stories to life.
Would recommend reading this book if your new to Egyptian Mythology, or if you would like a nice refresher course.

I thought this was a beautiful retelling of these tales. Yes, there was some verbiage that wasn’t era appropriate, and I wish there was more details in some spots but overall the flow was beautiful and just the opening story of creation alone, was pure genius.
