Les Grands Mythes

I made my account just so I could provide this feedback. After watching the English translation on Amazon Prime, it bothered me SO MUCH that they used the Roman name for Odysseus. Does anybody proof these scripts before they pay for dubbing? Considering Season 2 is entirely about The Iliad, it feels like a real miss to use the Roman name of a key Greek hero.

I really enjoyed this series more than I thought I might. The visuals are amazing. Some episodes are less entertaining than others but just ignore another cool one will be right up. If anyone knows how to find out what all the art pieces are please post!

Great Greek Myths is the English translation for this French production. aAt least I think it is French. Why did I give it a 10? Because anything that educates the ignorant masses in this day and age gets a 10 from me. From Athena to Zeus and everything in between, this series covers the story of Gods that existed before Christ. Watch it and learn. The ancients knew a thing about human nature. Amazing that modern humans don't know crap about human nature. We've gone backwards folks, hope y'all are happy.

Maybe a tad more nudity than is neccesary, but otherwise superb. While not all encompassing, it had a lot to teach someone who has been a fan of Greek mythology for decades. I would recomend to any student who doesnt have an issue with (artistic depictions) of the human anatomy.

Seasons 1 and 2 (General Myths and The Iliad) are fantastic. Very cool animation and concept. Gripping storytelling. Effective music.

Season 3 lands with a thud. After such a great track record, this season was additionally disappointing. The writing in the English version (or maybe translation from the French) were weak (please stop saying stupefying/stupor. There is literally a thesaurus in your word processing program). And the narrator's regional New York state accent is KILLING ME. He's adding "r's" onto everything (Odysseus is apparently from "Ithaker" rather than "Ithaca." Fancy that.) He does not know how to pronounce a lot of words. Listening to him struggle through "impious" and "bestow" is nails on a chalkboard. Where is the Director? The Producer? The Sound Department? The Caterer? Someone please help this guy. Or better yet, get someone else with the Shakespearean voice you need to make classical storytelling work. If I wanted someone to read me bus timetables, I would go to a public transit website. Aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhh!!!!!!
