Özet

In Classical Mythology: The Greeks, widely published Professor Peter Meineck examines in thrilling detail the far-reaching influence of Greek myths on Western thought and literature. The nature of myth and its importance to ancient Greece in terms of storytelling, music, poetry, religion, cults, rituals, theatre, and literature are viewed through works ranging from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey to the writings of Sophocles and Aeschylus. Through the study of these time-honored myths, the Greek heroes and gods - including Heracles, Zeus, Achilles, Athena, Aphrodite, and others - leap from the page in all their glorious splendor. The following lectures are not only an entertaining guide to Greek mythology, but a fascinating look into the culture and time that produced these eternal tales.

What a wealth of knowledge I have gained by listening to this audio book, it mesmerised me so much that I bought the Iliad on audible.
Anyone with an interest with mythology wouldn't be dissapointed, Proff Meineck gave the lectures in such a way that it was very easy to understand and made me want to learn more.
Brilliant..

Fantastic

unfortunately the presenter has a lot of mouth noise and silent burping due to poor breathing. he also has some very odd pronunciation, such as 'folk' that changes every time he says it. he also assumes that the listener knows Greek myths well when most people don't.

I studied Greek Mythology as part of my degree many years ago, and so was expecting to find this nice but a bit basic. Not so! This is brilliant both as a beginners guide and for people with more in depth knowledge. Peter is a natural storyteller with a gift for presenting complex theories in a simple, easily absorbed fashion. There's a good mix of subject matter and the information itself is fascinating. I would recommend it to anyone! It's the best thing I've downloaded from audible so far.

Entertaining, informative and thought provoking!

Meineck is such a great historian and tutor. I wish there were a lot more audio books by him because this breakdown of Homer's classics and some of the great literature and plays make it so digestible and understandable without simplifying. I bought this years ago and have gone back to it so many times since. It's a great listen alongside the Iliad and Odyssey (British narration)

A book I keep going back to

Five minutes in and you know that you have struck gold. Meineck is a great speaker - this is no dry lecture but an engaging tour through these great stories. You never get bored and your attention will not drift. Do you really want to listen to this whilst sitting in the traffic in the rain - absolutely! You can smell the retsina and feel the sun on your back. Great stuff. Almost as good as Clash of the Titans.......

So I said to Aphrodite
