Myths aren't just stories; they're keys to understanding our own selves and our past. The gods and goddesses of ancient mythology are immortal representations, not only of human nature, but of human expectation; they were our own needs and desires, both as individuals and societies, personified. In this audio, the listener is taken on a journey through the part of our human history when mythology was used as a guideline for morality and explaining the unexplainable.

Since its original publication in 1942, Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes, has become a widely acclaimed and equally timeless reference used by millions of readers. Hamilton pieced together tales of Greek, Roman, and Norse heroes and their gods in a very easy-to-understand method. It's an amazing listen that is a MUST for anyone interested in mythology. Suzanne Toren's articulate narration brings out the intricate word-craft that makes this book unique in its presentation if not in its content.
