Really well written and read. I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook and learn more about Greek mythology
Really entertaining

Excellent

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Really zones in on feelings and motives of characters. Well imagined, and good synopses at the end. Trigger warning for assault and rape, which these myths are full of; but here as well, much detail is gone into. I forwarded through some of this.

Well fleshed out characters, good storytelling.

I loved it so much I finished it in 3 days. This was exactly what I was looking for, the myth and then a lesson. Wish there was more 👏🏻

Obsessed

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The explanation and context was a bit light. I actually wanted to know more about the legends and their meaning.

Good storytelling and dramatisation.
