Real history how it all started

I've been a big fan of Liv Albert and her phenomenal podcast, Myths, Baby! for a long time, so I was over the moon when I saw she had written a book on Greek Mythology.

This is a truly marvellous introduction, overview and the most important characters and stories from Greek (and Roman) mythology, told in Albert's wonderfully accessible and irresistible style.

If you want a crash course, catch up or simply to be told all manner of brilliant myths told engagingly you can't do better than this.

If you enjoy this, I thoroughly recommend you check out Myths, Baby! which goes into more detail with additional feminist critiques and swearing.

She' Liv & I love this sh*t!

There is nothing profound in this narrative. And it should be if You dare to be the One who is transferring these ancient words nowadays after so many others! The voice is irritating! So “american”! So superficial!
I don’t even see a beginner, let’s say a child getting interested in this ancient knowledge! You materialized the magic in such a wrong way!
Waist of a credit! Not to mention “money”!

Superficial

The stories are very short and is clearly aimed to influence young readers as the author keeps adding her feminist point of view which is quite annoying to listen to. Let the readers make their own conclusion next time.

This was told neither as a story or a scholarly report. Narrator was shocking, mullering many name and place pronunciations and saying “what’s his deal” when introducing a new character which was probably supposed to be cool and quirky but just made me cringe. She also put a spin on many stories that I hadn’t heard before, turning love stories into rape and sexual assault. Irritating voice, storytelling and opinions. Dreadful listen.
