narration good

after listening to chapters of India, which were grossly inaccurate and usage of trivial and negative perspective. I doubt if other mythologies of the world also are inaccurate. so stopped listening after Indian chapters. the great Indian Epics.

Good Mythology Course

This course gives you an overview about mythology in different countries of the main continents. It focus on the Creation Mythology i.e. how different folks have different stories about how the world was created. I like it and recommend it for sure!
