30 Second Mythology
30 Second Mythology: The 50 Most Important Greek and Roman Myths, Monsters, Heroes and Gods Each Explained in Half a Minute | Robert A. Segal
6 posts | 1 read
30-Second Mythology offers the shortest path to a world of gods and monsters. So much modern culture traces its origins back to Greek and Roman mythology (witness 2010s Clash of the Titans and Percy Jackson and the Olympians). The stories provide wonderful references to make your conversation more heroic and raise your imagination closer to the gods. Sail through these fifty 30-second legends to discover what Hercules did to deserve his twelve labors, why Odysseus took ten years to travel 500 miles, and how Narcissus found the love of his life. The perfect reference book for creative writers, it covers gods and goddesses, heroes and monsters, story locations and the great storytellers. There are also condensed versions of the tragic tales alongside explanations of their modern legacies: from the Oedipus Complex to the Narcissus Syndrome.

Short and too the point. The last chapter legacy is an eye opener. Boy Freuds mind must have been weird place

Lunabella is 6 months old now and looks more and more like Salem every day. She is super vocal, really cheeky and smart. She isn‘t quite the Velcro cat she was and I miss that. But she is beautiful!

My eldest daughter tested positive last night after being really sick for 48 hours. My son and I have woken really unwell but testing negative currently. My husband went to bed with a migraine….which doesn‘t bode well. Please keep everything crossed for my youngest as She will be the one least able to cope.
