Jim Weiss
Jim Weiss tells us that he has waited 30 years to make this recording. Simply, it was worth the wait. Three superb myths featuring heroes from different lands who are at once daring adventurers and seekers of wisdom.
First, we travel to ancient Crete, where we plunge into the gray stone maze called the Labyrinth alongside gallant Theseus. Somewhere in the twisting tunnels waits the monstrous Minotaur, half man and half bull, and only Theseus, intelligent and brave, may be able to triumph over him.
Then we meet Zeus and Prometheus, who pays a terrible price for helping human beings learn the benefits of fire. One of the world's greatest tales, it has inspired literary masterpieces from ancient Athens through the era of Shelley and Byron and on up to our own time. Finally, Jim tells the central tale of Norse Mythology: the story of mighty Odin, who risks everything for wisdom. For sheer adventure, this recording can't be beat, but Jim goes further to reveal the purposes that lie beneath the acts of heroes. His deep understanding of these myths, and his ability to paint vivid word pictures, make this a recording of great power and significance.
