created by PraiseBe2God
by Thomas Bulfinch It consists of 3 volumes: The Age of Fable, The Age of Chivalry, and Legends of Charlemagne. This is a recording of the 10th edition of the 1st volume, The Age of Fable. It contains many Greek & Roman myths, including simplified versions of The Iliad and The Odyssey, as well as a selection of Norse and “eastern” myths. Bulfinch’s goal was to make the ancient myths accessible to a wide audience, and so it is suitable for children. (Summary by Kathleen Gatliffe, LibriVox v. 1)
