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!

This audiobook is a wonderful way to introduce kids to the world of Greek mythology in short, engaging bursts. Each story is just the right length for bedtime or a quick break, making it easy to fit into a busy day. I loved how the classic tales of Achilles, Odysseus, and other heroes are brought to life in a way that's both fun and educational. It's also great knowing that the more intense parts of the original myths are toned down while keeping all the adventure and excitement intact. Highly recommended for parents looking to share these timeless stories with their children!

Delightful for Kids & Adults who are Kids at Heart
I’m a big lover of mythology! I wish this audiobook was around when I was a kid. These short versions are written in such a fun manner using modern-day words. The narrator was amazing. He acted out the different voices of the characters. He brought new life into these classic tales of Achilles, the Great Warrior, the hero’s journey of Odysseus, and all the parts that other mere humans, mythological gods, and goddesses played. I felt like I was around a campfire listening to a master storyteller. It was such fun!

I love how this book is in bite size chunks to keep the attention of the young ones! Great for bedtime stories or for king car journeys.
It’s very unique and I like that about it. Not only are the stories educational, they’re fun and engaging and are great for instilling lessons on the importance of building strong habits
