Settle in for a quiet journey through the world of the twelve Olympians: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, and Dionysus.

Follow Zeus from his hidden childhood to the defeat of the Titans; Hera through the wandering of Io; Poseidon across Odysseus’ encounters with Polyphemus and the stormy sea; and Demeter through her search for Persephone. Continue through Athena’s birth and contest for Athens, Apollo’s arrival on Delos, Artemis in the mountain wilds, Ares at Troy, Aphrodite and Anchises, Hephaestus at his forge, Hermes and Apollo’s cattle, and Dionysus among the sailors who failed to recognize him.

The stories move between Olympus, quiet islands, deep water, fields of grain, forests, the forge, winding roads, and vineyards. They are told gently, with no background music, for rest, sleep, and unhurried listening. Some myths include calm, non-graphic references to conflict, injury, captivity, and death.
