I love how they bashed the worshiping of idols and how they created beings greater than themselves that lived up in the heavens. I'm reading Reason to Believe by RC Sproul and he goes into how everyone is born with an understanding of God but not everyone has learned of it. I believe that this connects to the Greek Myths. As we were listening on our drive there and back home (it's a 4cd set that is times at 4 hours and 13 minutes) we kept finding Bible stories hidden in the Myths.
There was a story like Noah's where the gods were unhappy with how the people were treating each other and they chose one family to build a boat and save themselves while gods flooded the rest of the world.
There was a correlation between Jesus and his disciples. Zeus sat on his throne with 12 other gods with him on Olympus.
The other fun part to this audio set is the readers. Paul Newman, Kathleen Turner, Sidney Poitier, and Matthew Broderick all take turns reading the Greek Myths. There is pan flute music between the stories.
It definitely kept us entertained during the long drive there and a portion of the drive back.
Then we started listening to The Wanderer by Sharon Creech. Another good listen.
Almost makes me wish that we had more places to drive. Also got me thinking that I might rent audio books instead of movies for the girls. Only problem is that I don't have them tied down at home.
