Greek Mythology: Captivating Stories of the Ancient Olympians and Titans , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 89min
Did you know that Zeus loved many women, both goddesses and mortals? Did you know that he turned himself into golden rain for one damsel who was locked away in a tower, and turned himself into a swan for another beauty? Did you know that he kidnapped one young princess, which led to her brother founding the city of Thebes? And did you know that to protect his own power, Zeus swallowed his first wife, just as Cronus had swallowed his own children in a previous age? Greek myth is full of fascinating tales of Titans and Olympian gods. Some of it makes us wonder if there might be some hint of truth behind those stories, no matter how outrageous they may sound. What parts of those stories were merely symbolic, and what parts were literal? This book contains a brief but unconventional look at the Titans and Olympian gods of Greek mythology. Brief, because a thorough treatment of these legendary super beings could take thousands of hours. Unconventional, because digging for truth is far more interesting than reciting old stories which have little relevance to us today. Attempting to reveal some semblance of truth brings the stories to life. It gives them relevance to our modern world. Here, we will look at many of the more fascinating stories which kept the Greek mortals entertained for hundreds of years. After all, they didn't have iPhones and tablets. In this audiobook you'll discover: The nature of myth Primordial beings and Titans Creation of the universe Birth of the Titans Stories of a primordial universe Children of Cronus and Rhea Trouble in heaven Titans vs. gods New pecking order And more! ungekürzt.

Love Me or Kill Me: The Cable Denning Mystery Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 911min
For the passions that thrill love, and lift you high to heaven - are the passions that kill love, and let you fall to hell! Cable meets his would-be nemesis Cronus-Gor...as well as Gor's other-worldly wife, Saturnalia, not to mention the Girl Who Lived in a Seashell. Along the way, he battles the forces of the Oculus, who are trying to wrest from him the secrets of the Fen de Fuqin. Beautiful women, danger, and a magical experience with Saturnalia's exquisite daughter, Cassiopeia, are in the offing - while plenty of adrenaline-pumping action and murder dot the map of Cable's life; along with the respites that only great music, smoky dives, and beautiful babes in revealing gowns can provide. But for the "evil ones" - how do you stop a 30-year-old daredevil by the name of Cable Denning - who knows no fear? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: full cast.
