Beauty's Bedtime Stories, Episode One: Homer's The Iliad, Book One
Added 2021-08-25 14:00:08 +0000 UTCWelcome to Beauty's Bedtime Stories!
As chosen by you, our first book will be Homer's The Iliad. I've chosen this version, translated by W. H. D. Rouse, as it's not one I've read before and the flow of the text is nice.
This is not a typical audio book, as it's intended to be more informal than that, more like I'm actually reading you a bedtime story, right down to turning the pages as I read (yup, I'm reading from the paperback copy!). Recorded on the new binaural set-up, hopefully this will be a relaxing experience for you!
So get comfy, pop in/on those headphones, and let me take you back to Ancient Greece, to a time where Gods walked the Earth among mortal men, and a beautiful face launched a thousand ships. This is a truly epic tale.
Enjoy!

I'm super late to the party but man, am I glad I found this. I love your voice no matter what you do with it, but I was a history major in college so this makes me all kinds of happy.

2021-09-13 01:30:16 +0000 UTCSometimes it's nice just to be read to, isn't it? That's what I wanted for my lovely Patrons - a quiet, relaxing experience where they could just enjoy the story. Sometimes the content gets pretty intense around here, so a nice break from that is good. And the plot on this one can be a bit hard to follow, especially at first when the action is just getting started. This translation does a great job as the story picks up of really bringing the reader into it, so hopefully that will get better as we progress! 💜💜

2021-09-06 21:59:36 +0000 UTCThis is such a wonderful idea. It's a little like being part of a book club. It's a nice break in-between the usual fun going on around here. Plus it's nice to indulge in literature again in some way, even if I did struggle quite a bit to follow the plot 😅♥️

2021-09-06 21:43:55 +0000 UTCThank you, Angela! The classics are a joy to read and I'm glad you found my take on this one relaxing. And I appreciate you holding off sleep long enough to comment! That in itself is a huge compliment! 💜💜

2021-08-28 17:16:02 +0000 UTCWonderful Beauty! What a delight! If your intent was to provide a ASMR-ish, bedtime story atmosphere, you hit the mark dead-center. I wish there were more feminine renditions of classical literature. You have taken a work too often considered to be in the purview of only the scholarly or those required to read it in school, and made it very accessible and enjoyable to anyone, regardless of background or education, in my humble opinion. A testament to your voice, your delivery and your unwillingness to just 'stay in your lane'! Listening to you, I was right on the verge of drifting into sleep--wasn't that the point after all?--when I forced myself awake, telling myself I had to post a comment before my thoughts were forgotten and lost in the rush of the morning light. Comment posted, I can now let myself drift away again. Thank you Beauty! 🛌 😴
