Stories of Old Greece and Rome
librivox.org/stories-of-old-greece-and-rome-by-emilie-kip-baker/
Been listening to this in bed the past week or so, and enjoyed it. The narrator is competent and unobtrusive, and the summary sells at as well as anything I could say:
>Greek and Roman mythological stories. All of the famous Heroes are here: Theseus, Jason, Hercules, and all of the well known Deities.
>These stories tell the real detail of the myths, not the ones that have become sanitized (and dare I say it, 'Disneyfied') over the centuries.
There are certainly a lot of stories where the "moral" (it's not a collection of aesops) is "fuck around and find out."
>the old gods and heroes were vengeful ... putting out of eyes and ripping out of tongues is commonplace, and punishment by death is ever present.
