Myths and Legends Around the World - Collection 17

This is humanity's oldest storytelling, pulled from the shadows of history and given voice once more. Across forty-three tracks, listeners travel from the mist-shrouded mountains of ancient Wales to the sun-baked temples of Greece, from the frozen fjords of Scandinavia to the river valleys of the East. Here are the tales that taught our ancestors how to live, how to die, and how to imagine something larger than themselves. You'll encounter heroes who wrestle with gods, beasts that guard the boundaries of the known world, and love stories that span lifetimes. These aren't just stories. They're the raw material from which every novel, every film, every dream was built. The collection spans Greek mythology, Norse sagas, Celtic folklore, Eastern legends, and traditions from cultures that no longer exist in their ancient forms. To listen is to hear humanity thinking out loud about mortality, fate, love, and the terrible beautiful mystery of being alive.
