Re: Pagan Forum's Ultimate Book List
I've been listening to ancient history audiobooks so I can stay ahead of my 6yos history book. Since it's a Christian source, I'm always double checking for factualness. This year is ancient history, so I've read a few books on that topic.
When Women Ruled the World explores ancient Egyptian women Pharaohs. I really enjoyed that one.
Ancestral Journeys is a book about the settling of Europe and what we can learn from DNA and archeology. It goes through to the days of the Vikings. It's dry, but heads good information.
I think books like this give you a solid foundation to pick out what's true and not (like there whole Christians stole Easter from Ostara thing).
Mary Pope Osborne has a series called Tales from the Odyssey. It's intended for children, but I've found it interesting to listen to with my daughter.
Other source materials:
The Illiad
The Egyptian Book of the Dead
The Tibetan Book of the Dead
A copy each of the Bible, Torah, and Koran
Aesop's fables
Plutarch
Gilgamesh
Beowulf
Etc
