Læs mere Book of Myths

Dive into a captivating collection of myths, primarily Greek with a sprinkle of Eastern tales, presented in a clear and engaging style. Lang enriches each story with poetry from other inspired authors, reflecting on these ancient narratives of the gods. She selected these myths for their portrayal of heroic deities, worshipped with unwavering faith by humanity. Yet, as the tales unfold, it becomes evident that these gods exhibit the same flaws and corruptions as humans. Lang believed that despite these imperfections, the myths reveal a wonderful humanity that strikes a vibrant chord. This collection is especially significant as it was published in 1914, amidst the turmoil of the First World War—a conflict that condemned countless ordinary men to suffer Promethean agonies and perish on battlefields in ways that starkly contrast the heroism of myth. As you listen, reflect on the parallels between the flawed gods of these stories and the god-like European leaders of the 20th century, who sacrificed the innocence of humanity for the sake of a noble cause. - Summary by James K. White

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
