Story
The stories in Hindu myth stem from traditions within Hinduism, drawing on stories from ancient texts, like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Keep in mind that because different versions of Hinduism inspire different people, many different versions of the stories float through the jungle and over the stones of temples and traditions. The stories in this volume are my version, though I’ve stuck as closely to the original myths and legends as imagination allows.

Though the world came to know of the Norse and their legends through Roman interaction at about the time of Christ, most of what we came to know were handed-down from folk tales gathered by native writers like Snorri Sturluson (c. 1179 - 1241). This was from a time when the Norse had already been converted to Christianity.

The ancient Greeks were explorers in many ways. They traveled to new places, creating colonies in strange lands far from their original homes. They were survivors. They were honorable thieves. They used their cunning to explore the frontiers of philosophy and they wrested from the chaos of the surrounding wilderness the building blocks of civilization.

The Vikings of Norse poetry and saga were a fearless lot, and their tales were frequently tragic. Some, if not all, of the myths were based on real people and real events. These heroes accomplished many fantastic feats, some of them even documented by their enemies.

From what we know of history, Egypt, along with Sumer, were the foundations of civilization. The Fertile Crescent, which stretched from the Nile Valley to the twin rivers in Mesopotamia, gave us our earliest glimpse of organized man. But organized how? For one, both locations gave us writing -- hieroglyphics in Egypt and cuneiform in Sumer. There is still some debate about who was first.

The stories from Norse mythology linger in our culture today. Four days of our week are named after members of the Norse pantheon (Tyr, Woden (Odin), Thor, and Frigg). Wagner’s Ring Cycle has kept one version of one of the great Norse stories alive in the minds of music lovers. Fans of modern fantasy will find many echoes of the Norse tales as well. Something in these old and puzzling stories still has the power to move and unsettle us and to inspire new acts of creation. This audiobook will give you a brief introduction to some of the best-known myths.

Most people have heard of the Celts - the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist.

Story
The Aztecs believed offerings of human blood and human lives were necessary to the continued running of the universe. Indeed, in Aztec myths, the gods themselves make sacrifices of their own blood and even of their entire bodies in order to create a universe humans can live in and, in one story, to create humans themselves. To the ancient Aztecs, these practices seemed fitting, necessary, and honorable, helping to connect the world of humans to the divine world of the gods, a universe that in Aztec myth took shape in cycles of creation, destruction, and rebirth.

Absolutely terrible pronunciation throughout
What did you like about this audiobook?
It is vital for a reader to actually learn to pronounce the names in proto-Celtic, Irish, and Welsh mythology to be able to read such material effectively. This reader apparently doesn't even know how to pronounce the name of "Lyon" in France, and apparently made no effort to learn the more difficult names of deities, places, books, or any other thing included in the text. I'm downright insulted by the laziness of this production.
Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?
Absolutely not.

it's a start but
it helps tell of how the Celtic peoples were wide spread and the pronunciation of the various names was very valuable but the book tries to cram too much into only two hours or so. it feels rushed and jumbled in too many places.

I was looking for a little broader treatment
Did not suit my purposes, but could suit others. Major Distraction - Reader mispronounces the often-used word Etruscan ... has an *s* in it -- it is not *Etrucken* ... I found this extremely annoying and distracting.
I would have liked to have heard a little more heroism and a little less infidelity among the gods in such a short piece.
I would have preferred a little more treatment of beliefs and belief systems --perhaps more of Nature and less of Lust. I had hoped for an introduction to Druidism

Shockingly poor pronunciation of Celtic names
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No way - as the stories and characters are “literally lost" due to mispronunciation!
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Celtic Mythology is a major interest of mine but the narration of these time loved stories became unbearable. On several occasions I actually thought I was being introduced to a new hero/myth until eventually I was able to "translate" the narrators phonetic interpretation of Gallic, Gaelic / Celt names. The narrator’s mispronunciation wasn't even consistent it changed as he read. Very Poor and a significant opportunity lost, the publisher could have been imaginative and grounded the centre of the Celtic World by picking a narrator with an appropriate regional/Celtic Nation accent (whichever accent that might be).
Any additional comments?
So disappointing even though it made my kids laugh for all the wrong reasons.

shockingly dreadful
I'm sorry but an English man reading an Irish and gaelic story who has obviously never bothered to research or learn the Gaelic pronunciation of any of the words, phrases or names is both shocking and insulting.
The "stories" are terribly told, it's like he is reading from 20 different short story books randomly found online and then spent a day reading baby names and taking quotes for the name meanings.
My advise is for everyone to avoid this offensive gobldy gook as it is everything but informative, a guide or anything to do with true Gaelic mythology.
I actually find the book this highly offensive from the first word spoken, this is an insult to my culture and heritage.
