- StarsMichael KöhlmeierAncient mythology is a vast field. Its stories are often closely interwoven. Michael Köhlmeier begins his voyage through the fascinating world of mythology with the bards - the greatest of all of them. Greek mythology is comprised of stories of love, murder and jealousy. In this series of 80 episodes, Michael Köhlmeier narrates them so impressively that all of a sudden all the gods, demigods, centaurs and titans come down from Olympus or up from the underworld to become characters invested with life, feeling and soul. The author tells of Aphrodite's childish jealousy, Zeus' fascinating art of seduction and Prometheus' sorrowful immortality. Michael Köhlmeier spellbinds and fascinates with his art of freely narrating the legends in his personal interpretation. This is done passionately, with profound knowledge and charming wit. Köhlmeier says: "The fascination stems from the mix of extremes, from extreme cheerfulness and extreme cruelty, from death and sexuality. The southern sun shines brightly on the scene, its contours are sharply delineated. And the stories are simply fantastic."
