About this audiobook
Classical mythology is reimagined with a romantic and tragic flair in these two verse dramas. Exploring the abduction of Proserpine and the folly of King Midas, Shelley breathes new life into ancient themes of loss, greed, and divine intervention. The lyrical prose captures the ethereal beauty of the gods while grounding their struggles in universal human emotions.
