The Song of Orpheus: The Greatest Greek Myths You Never Heard
THE SONG OF THE GREATEST GREEK MYTHS YOU NEVER HEARD is a funny, adventure-filled collection of wonderfully weird "new" Greek myths. This unforgettable collection spins tales of love and loss, hilariously vain superheroes, ancient robots, untrappable giant foxes, men reborn after being torn apart by dragons, and even the world's first monkeys. A few of these tales may seem familiar at first, but be prepared for the unexpected. Others are wonderfully strange and puzzling. All of them are entertaining. All of them deserve to be better known.
Retold by author and scholar Tracy Barrett (THE SHERLOCK FILES, ANNA OF BYZANTIUM, THE STEPSISTER'S TALE) with accuracy, suspense, and humor, using authoritative translations into English of ancient source material, the myths in THE SONG OF ORPHEUS will make readers, and especially fans of THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS series, laugh, gasp, and geek out.

Full Colorful review on my blog :
Word Wonders
*I received an eARC of this book from the publishers through Netgalley in exchange of an honest review*
3.5 stars
First of all, the writing sucked me in immediately. It is interactive as Orpheus is directly talking to the reader, conversing, commenting on the stories and pointing out ridiculous situations and inconsistencies, but what made it even cooler to me is personal, the way the author wrote the myths felt like how a family friend used to tell me urban legends when I was a kid so it had a familiar and nostalgic vibe to it. Also, what I really appreciated were the little notes and charts at the end of every chapters -as well as at the very end of the book- helping with the understanding of the different people, gods and species because let’s face it there are way too many not to get confused.
The way the myths are recounted is very unique and interesting. The narrator is Orpheus who has a myth of his own, a pretty known one that is. So, in a way, this anthology is 17 myths within a myth because Orpheus has to tell stories to break a curse that was put on him. As much as he is witty and funny, I have a love-hate relationship with him because he just kept wining about missing Eurydice (his wife) and regretting what he did to her, he even sometimes stopped in the middle of myth just to start talking about this again, all I wanted to do is yell “I GET IT! Can we move on now, please” and this took a little from my enjoyment of the myths.
But don’t get me wrong, I loved them! Especially because they were these less known myths so I learnt a lot of new things about Ancient Greece, I didn’t know any of them but one, which was Dionysos’ myth AND it’s one of my favorites so I really didn’t mind finding it in this anthology. All the myths were fun, weird and quick to read, but here’s the thing, they were TOO quick. I would’ve liked more depth and detail because I didn’t get time to immerse properly in the myth before it got cut short and the ending got revealed.
This was a really good read that I would recommend to any Greek Mythology lover. It will succeed in surprising you with new myths, alternate endings, open endings as well as links between different myths that will bring new things to light about stories you already knew, and those lightbulb moments were kind of my favorites as they had me beaming like a stupid person over new pieces added to the never ending Greek Mythology puzzle.

The Song of Orpheus has a fun way of connecting a number of lesser known Greek myths together through the story of Orpheus, who has to tell a lot of stories before the sun sets.
For those readers that are rather unfamiliar with Greek mythology, but would like to read some of the lesser known stories, this is a wonderful book. For those, who like myself, took some classes into Classic Greek -- well, let's just say that Orpheus would still be a stone... Most of the stories though I hadn't heard before, although there were some where it was not hard to discover why they aren't better known nowadays.
Lovely, quick read. Would recommend.

The Song of Orpheus is a fun take on Greek mythology, which is going to appeal to everyone who loves Greek myths, as well as readers who just start their adventures with them!
The Song of Orpheus: The Greatest Greek Myths You Never Heard is a collection of 17 stories, less known Greek myths. They're told in a very interesting way, by Orpheus himself and I absolutely loved how the narration draws the reader in and seems interactive, in a way. I believe that it will be a very engaging read for readers of all ages and it's great that the author decided to focus on less known tales. To those who know a bit about Greek myths, some of the characters will already be familiar, but the stories are (at least in my case) completely fresh and new.
The writing was very smooth, witty and appealing. The main themes of the myths alternate, so it always kept my interest. Apart from the stories, there were also some additional pieces of information, basic facts about Greek myths and spelling/pronunciation, so apart from being highly entertaining, the book has also educational values and is perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about this mythology. In a way the story is told and the author presents us pieces of information, it reminded me of not only Percy Jackson and the Olympians but also of the Horrible Histories series, which I loved as a kid.
All in all, I would recommend The Song of Orpheus to everyone. The stories are truly interesting and told in a fun way, and can very well be treated as an introduction to the mythology but will also appeal to people who already have some knowledge of Greek myths. Overall, it's a quick and very entertaining read!

I'm a homeschool teacher and I have taught interdisciplinary units on Ancient Greece for both of my kids when they reached 4th grade.
I WISH I had known about this book back when I taught my eldest.
It is an outstanding resource for teachers (in or out of the classroom) and for parents searching for books for their kids who loved the Percy Jackson books or just love Greek mythology.
Tracy Barrett is a scholar, and this book is anchored in her strong understanding of many, many different versions of myths - as well as the daily lives of people in Ancient Greece. She scatters so many facts throughout this book in bite-sized, entertaining bits.
This book is a collection of rare, barely-known stories. It is perfect for young people who loved D'Aulairres and have searched for other Greek mythology collections only to discover that they're all basically telling the same stories.
There are also some myths with strong girls and women (who aren't cast as villains). I appreciate that because there just don't seem to be many stories like these in typical collections.
And this book is so funny and engaging! My son adored it. The narrator is, in my son's words, "a hilarious, sentient rock". And he talks directly to the reader in a very casual way throughout the book ("Wait! Where are you going? ...If you have to be somewhere, can't you use that little thing you people always carry and tell them you'll be late?")
If you don't think you and/or your student/kid will enjoy that conversational, jokey delivery, this isn't the book for you. I could imagine some young people feeling like it gives the book too juvenile of a tone. But for everyone else, I highly recommend it!

A really fun story collection for Greek myth fans. The voice is engaging and makes the myths accessible without sacrificing any of their strangeness. Fast-paced and yet full of well-researched details about the ancient world.

Cute collection of forgotten short Greek myths told by Orpheus. A light must read for mythology lovers.

*I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The Song of Orpheus is a book full of lesser known Greek mythology written for children. It is a fun and fast read as the tales are very short.
In the beginning of the story, we are introduced to Orpheus, who has been turned into a rock and we, as the readers, have to listen to 17 stories in order to help him reunite with the love of his life, Eurydice. All 17 myths are stories of gods, demi-gods, and heroes who do not get mentioned in the popular tales.
Can't you see how interesting this book is?
I think The Song of Orpheus would make a great audiobook. Orpheus is a fun storyteller, and the whole book is written in easy English so children can understand what the myths are about and the lessons we can learn from them. I also like how Orpheus often relates the myths to his own story (which makes him sound so real) and to our world. When relating the stories to modern times, he will also state the differences between the ancient society and the modern one. For example, in the stories which involve marriage, Orpheus states how marriage was arranged by parents in the ancient world, but we can have the freedom to marry the ones we love nowadays.
In the myth about Zagreus, Orpheus tells readers that Zagreus was to be Zeus's heir, but then points out how unreasonable it is: "Zeus is immortal - what's the point of being his heir if he's never going to die?" Truth be told, many of the Greek mythology do no make any sense at all, and we never know which one is real but which one we wants to believe. I like how the author didn't choose to delete this implausible tale but instead included it to remind us myth is just...myth.
My favourites out of the 17 stories are "Don't Mess with a Superhero", "But Does She Really Love You?", "Be Careful What You Wish For", and "An Oread Scorned". The appendix is gem. You get to know Greek alphabets and pronunciation, plus a little bit of the differences between Greek, Roman, and Latin.
The only thing I don't like about this book is the repetitive transitions from one story to another. Orpheus is always mentioning about the sun setting, or counting how many stories he has told or not yet told. This really annoys me. I would prefer him jumping to the next tale right away.
I hope more people know about this book because it is really fun even if you do not know many Greek myths (like me). I would definitely recommend it to anyone with children interested in Greek mythology. Also, I hope there will be a volume 2 since there are still many stories left untold in this one.

What a wonderful little book. I love Greek myths and infact I'll be studying them this year at university. So when I saw The Song of Orpheus I thought well why not give it a try.
This book isn't a collection of any old Greek myths. It's mostly aimed at children I think but I found it amusing and sentimental enough to be enjoyed by adults as well. The great thing about it is that it has a lot of myths that even I hadn't heard! Some familiar characters with a new spin and also some stories which weren't exactly myths at all but more about what the Greeks actually believed. Of the 17 stories in this little collection I recognised probably 2 of them, my particular favourites were the story of Kefali for whom Kefalonia is named for and the story of Dionysus (there were two of these). It was really interesting to look at the different myths and how no two stories about the same person or God was quite the same.
This book is a little treat and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the Greek myths or in particular wants to teach their children about them in a really fun and enjoyable way!

Greek history and mythology is one of my favorite fields not only to study, but also to explore in my free-time. This is the main reason I wanted to read this book, and the promise of ""new" Greek myths". It didn't disappoint at all.
This book contains 17 myths and stories of ancient Greece, written in a way that will grab the attention and the heart of its readers, no matter the age. There a few myths that I never really heard of or read about and the curiosity of knowing more just made me unable to up it down. Even the stories that everyone is familiar with are written in a different way. Stories are presented beautifully.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone that is bored of reading the same old tales of Greek mythology and is in need of a twist.

Good for Bedtime
A young reader would give a better rating. I'm rating as an adult who has been reading these stories to my infant son. They're short, entertaining for me, and they help him to sleep. I've studied and taught Classics, so I've read many of these before. I really like the framework that pulls together disparate narratives and has a happy ending for Orpheus and Eurydice. I recommend this book to children and parents who like mythology.

I got my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
It's an original book which tells some Greek myths that are not very well-known. The narrator is Orpheus that at last is going to be reunited with Eurydice, but you have to help him. It's fast-paced, and even if the stories are not the typical mythological stories we all know, it's worth reading, if you do like mythology.

Mythology lovers will like this a lot
It is fun that the author acknowledges the evolution of these tales and reconciles the many variations that exist. Without being ponderously detailed, she mentions where tales diverge in their plot and/or motivation, giving the reader amusing and thoughtful ways of understanding these myths as well as of our ancient forbearers. The appendices while short, are very helpful.

Fun, fascinating, and a tremendous resource for young readers and educators (and indeed, anyone who loves Greek mythology!). This will give even the most die-hard myth lover a run for their money--and I'm speaking to myself here! I love Greek mythology, but I'd never heard of a few of these, and it was so fun to read!!
August 11, 2016
"The Song of Orpheus" was mildly entertaining with some fun never-heard before myths, but there wasn't really substance to any of them. I liked the general idea, but the frame narrative fell flat for me and the different tales just weren't as intriguing as, for example, Ovid's tales from the "Metamorphosis".
July 25, 2016
I love Greek mythology, so naturally I loved this book! The stories are definitely new and intriguing, and written in a way that's appealing to both children and adults. If you think you've heard of all the Greek myths, you haven't - check out this book!!

I love reading about Greek mythology growing up, so diving into The Song of Orpheus was a real treat! Tracy Barrett is a fabulously colorful writer, and I could see her book being a great fit for a book club or discussion group.

I've wanted to learn more about Greek mythology but hated the thought of slogging through an encyclopedic set of entries. This book has been perfect, revealing myths and characters as part of a larger story, which is told with dry wit and a touch of drama. Well done!
July 25, 2016
This is an awesome way to introduce your kids (or yourself!) to Greek mythology. These stories are fascinating, and this book is a great tool for caretakers and educators alike!

Myths I'd Never Heard
It's just plain fun to tell stories that may have been forgotten. Those who enjoy Percy Jackson and 300 inevitably want more.
