This anthology contains 6 plays, featuring varied mythology with an all star cast:

- Trojan trilogy
- Dionysus
- The Art of Love
- Resurrection

Personally, I felt that the first 3 were compelling and a definite 5 star listen but was less enamoured with the other 3.

If you are at all interested in the story of Troy this really is a must listen and brings a familiar story to life in a new way.

Dionysus - eponymous really

The Art of Love - Ovid

Resurrection - Jesus after the crucifixion

With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an audiobook arc in exchange for an honest review.

This wS a well written and well performed audio book. There is a very large cast which meant each very distinctive character had their own unique voice. Really bring the stories to life, will definitely use foe teaching The Illiad as a good way of getting to grips with the characters

The first trilogy of plays in this collection centres around the myths of the Iliad and the Trojan war, and I loved the way it fleshed out the characters involved (Helen, Paris, Eonone (Paris’s first wife)), making them complex and their motivations more understandable and sympathetic. As Helen says, “Men do not go to war over women. They go to war for reasons of their own.” These plays were what I wish the BBC adaptation (“Troy”) had been. Incredible actors. Beautifully written and produced.

I could listen to stories on myths all day long and this adaptation of some well written myths was fab. Amazingly written and acted. The performances were seriously amazing and it made for very easy and enjoyable listening.

Including the Troy Trilogy, Dionysus, love and resurrection, these audio stories are an immersive experience and a great delve into myths reimagined.

If you’re a fan of myths, this is a must listen. Entertaining, well executed and really enjoyable.

My Greek and Trojan history is rather lacking so I have to admit, I was occasionally easy lost within the story and confused the characters and struggled to follow some of the stories but that was more of a fault with me and my lack of prior knowledge that wasn’t fragmented or bitty in regards to these myths.

The stories included in here definitely helped to bring together some of the things I previously knew but I definitely need to listen to this again! It’s something that would benefit from a re listen too as it’s in depth and intricate enough to keep you listening again and again.

I got to know more of these stories as it went along and got a feel for the characters throughout the performances. It was a really well done reimagining of some of the greatest myths and stories out there.
