In six classic Greek myths retold, listeners encounter characters both famous (Odysseus, Icarus) and lesser known (Queen Lamia, Bellerophon). Derek Perkins deftly narrates these tales with a keen sense of storytelling—vivid and lively with a grand sense of drama and action. He’s equally adept at the “explained” parts—short essay after each tale with an overview of the myth. Listeners are reminded why the myths have endured through centuries of tellings and retellings.
