Gods, Heroes & Monsters

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.
