Listen to which ever mythology you like!!!
The chapters are labelled and so you can jump to myths from any part of the world whenever you like it. The content is excellent, some stories are (by necessity) familiar, others not so much. Falling asleep to story so worn out, every bare thread is visible; or hopping on to a new one on a new road trip - this book is a joy!

Some of the best lectures on mythology from around the world.
Each lecturer not only has a great grasp of their topic but expertly constructs their lectures in engaging and interesting ways to retain interest. So happy I made the investment.

Starts out GREAT then fizzles
The first third of this book which covers Greek Italian Irish Norsk mythology is awesome - I could listen to author, academic and narrator Kathryn McClymond all day - her knowledge and the way she draws the listener is worth purchasing this audio book for.
BUT . . . the listener is then challenged with an American narrator whose inflections and false excitement was so over the top I had to fast forward thru the African mythology to the Asian section.
For anyone interested in learning about mythology, I would definitely recommend this audiobook.

A Diverse range of myths.
It’s a shame the author had to inject feminism into the telling of thousand-year-old stories… apart from that it was quite an entertaining book.

Overall OK
The first woman ruins the myths by showing her bias. I did not want to learn about feminism and its flaws like equal Rights.
But other than the first part it was pretty damn good
