Greek Mythology: Timeless Tales from the Ancients is a smart, fun, compulsively listenable overview of the Greek's favorite characters and tales. These myths are filled with sex, violence, drama, lies, monsters, hubris, journeys, and just about anything else you can think of!

I want Adventure, Excitement, and Romance." So begins Piers Anthony's 38th Xanth novel, in which Irrelevant Candy looks at her reflection in the water of the shallow well and sees luxuriant midnight-black hair reaching down to her breathtakingly slender waist, matching the dark eyes in her lovely face.

Der jüngste aber war dumm, konnte nichts begreifen und lernen, und wenn ihn die Leute sahen, sprachen sie: "Mit dem wird der Vater noch seine Last haben." Wenn nun etwas zu tun war, so musste es der älteste allzeit ausrichten; hieß ihn aber der Vater noch spät oder gar in der Nacht etwas holen, und der Weg ging dabei über den Kirchhof oder sonst einen schaurigen Ort, so antwortete er wohl: "Ach nein, Vater, ich gehe nicht dahin, es gruselt mir!" Denn er fürchtete sich.
