"My 5 year old son just loves this tape. He will choose to listen to it over the TV, and has been inspired to draw a set of pictures illustrating the labors of Hercules. Jim does a great job of telling these stories, and woven into the stories are explainations of any background that may be confusing to children. Jim makes these myths enjoyable for both children and adults. This is important, as you may find your child listening to them over and over. We enjoy all of the myths on here, and look forward to getting many more of Jim Weiss's CDs."

Brilliant Storytelling for All Ages

"Jim Weiss is absolutely brilliant. My five-year-old daughter loves them. We went from Mary Pope Osbourne's Magic Tree House stories right to Jim Weiss. It started as a way to encourage her to get moving in the morning. Now, as soon as we get in the car, she says, "Put on the Greek myths!!" We have this Greek Myths CD as well as the CD containing the story of Theseus and the Minotaur. She likes to listen to them over and over again. The best part is that the stories are also interesting to the grownups. There is a reason these stories have survived through the generations.



We are slowly collecting the entire Jim Weiss library. I also bought a BBC audio-book of Greek Myths, which is good, but not nearly as captivating as Jim Weiss. I highly recommend this CD. I have never reviewed a product before, but this one just moved me to review. It is a terrific find."
