Good collection

You’re never going to find a collection with every Greek myth in it, but this one is reasonably extensive. The narration is also good, and there aren’t a lot of pronunciation problems like you find in some collections.

too much story about heroes

Very good narrative. But the story is a bit boring in the second half. Big part of the second half is entirely dedicated to Hercules and the Trojan war, which are way too long and boring.

Narrator was wonderful!

Loved the cadence and speaking voice of the narrator. Very easy to stay engaged with the stories.

Takes liberties sanitizing

More a Disney-fied approach to Greco-Roman myths, but impressive amount of tales exposed in an entertaining narration.

Wonderful and full of action!

This was my first time reading or listening to Greek mythology in full. I enjoyed every minute of it. The Trojan War was probably as good as the Battle of the Five Armies from the Hobbit.
