A proposito di questo titolo

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
