Some people know Helen Slater as Supergirl. Others know her at Sutton Mercer’s mother on the ABC Family show The Lying Game. Soon, however, mothers, fathers and children will know her as the person who created the terrific new CD, Myths of Ancient Greece. The actress has also had a career as a singer-songwriter, and she combines these two talents – along with her interests in Greek mythology and child education – on this charming recording. |
How did you come up with the concept for your new record, Myths of Ancient Greece? I have always loved Greek Myths since I was a child. Originally, I wanted to do some of the pieces as a musical. My producer suggested the format that ultimately became the children’s record. |

I was so lucky this week to receive a new CD that tells the stories of some of the Greek myths through story and song. It happened to be a bit of a harder day for me, and I was the only one in the kitchen making dinner which actually doesn't happen that often, when the cd came so I went ahead and put it in the CD player. I LOVED it! It made me so happy. I really like Helen Slater's approach to the myths, in the beginning she talks about why the Greeks had these myths... |
Not everyone knows about the Greek mythology but there are millions out there who want to know more and more about it. To reach out to those millions, the immensely talented Helen Slater has come up with yet another genius piece called Myths of Ancient Greece, which will educate children and young adults about Greek Mythology. |

American Actor, Helen Slater, who starred in such films as “Supergirl,” “Ruthless People,” and “City Slickers,” and many television roles on “Will and Grace,” Seinfeld,” and most recently, “The Lying Game,” has turned to Ancient Greece for her next endeavor. Myths of Ancient Greece is a collection of songs and narration for young children to learn about and understand Greek mythology. |
Over the past year, I've started seeing a increase in storytelling albums arriving for families. Taking a very theatrical approach, these albums tend to have a very "live" feel, and one of the latest to cross my desk is MYTHS OF ANCIENT GREECE by HELEN SLATER. It's nearly impossible for me to avoid clarifying that yes, this is a family album by the Helen Slater, who I watched countless times as a kid in SUPERGIRL and THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS. |
