Whether it's the popular adventures of Greek gods and goddesses, or African trickster tales, we all love to hear a good story. Bestselling author Kenneth C. Davis gives listeners a taste of world mythology in this diverse collection, arranged by geographical area.
Jason Harris narrates this popular audio program with able assists from an introduction by the author and the wonderful, if underused, voice of John Bedford Lloyd. Listeners won't get more than a smattering of information here, for while the question-and-answer style offers great questions, the answers include only sketches of some of the world's most enduring myths. Missing from the audiobook is the helpful sequential timetable, "Mythic Milestones," that accompanies the print version. While this is valuable as a quick reference to the highlights of world mythology, nothing is as good as listening to the real thing. One hopes this compilation is meant as a starting point for those new to myths. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
