Since the dawn of communication, humankind has looked around itself
and used myths and legends to make sense of the world. Imaginative
tales of goddesses, heroes, villains and beasts bring understanding
to the biggest questions in life: Who made the world? What happens
when we die? Where did we come from? How should we live our lives?
Gods, Heroes and Monsters invites you to take your place at the
campfire that’s been glowing since the first tale was told.
Discover the fascinating variety – and several surprising
similarities – of the stories that have been shared for
millennia, from one person to another, one lesson at a time.
Ancient stories are retold under themes such as the beginning (and
end) of the world, death, love and monsters and spirits. Uncover
how the successes and catastrophes that befall man started as
revenge, love and war between the pantheon of gods. Hear the tales
of ordinary men and women who have stepped up and overcome
life-threatening challenges, from Mulan to Hercules. Discover how
the Chinese, Hindu and Greek civilizations interpreted the Zodiac.
Take your own epic voyage from the well-known myths of the Greeks,
Norsemen and Egyptians, to the enchanting tales of the Native
Americas, Australia’s First Nations, West Africa, China, Japan
and beyond.
