Mythology Bedtime Stories for Sleep
Mythia is a bedtime audio app that brings ancient mythology to life through immersive storytelling.
Each story is 11–18 minutes long, carefully paced to help you fall asleep. No cliffhangers, no surprises — just gentle storytelling that honors the cultural traditions it comes from.
Choose your mythology and your mood. A single, warm narrator guides you through tales of gods, monsters, heroes, and the forces that shaped ancient understanding of the world.
Ten World Mythologies, Fully Live
Greek
Olympus
Gods who love, scheme, and suffer like humans, only with the power to unmake the world.
Norse
The Nine Realms
Stark, fated, and shot through with a beauty that knows the ice is always coming.
Egyptian
By the Nile
Ancient and unhurried, where gods are natural forces and death is just another cycle of the river.
Slavic
Forest & Folk
Forest-dark and folk-warm, where magic lives in the roots of things and grandmothers know more than kings.
Japanese
Kami & Spirit
Precise and strange, where spirits live in silence and beauty is found in impermanence.
Celtic
The Otherworld
A world where the veil between living and otherworld is thin enough to walk through sideways.
Hindu
Dharma & Devotion
Cycles within cycles — gods descend, demons rise, and the world is destroyed and remade in cosmic rhythm.
Mesopotamian
Between the Rivers
The oldest written stories — gods of clay and water, heroes seeking immortality, wisdom bought with sacrifice.
Mesoamerican
The Fifth Sun
Blood and maize, gods who gave themselves to create the world, time measured in sacred calendar rounds.
West African
Spirit & Trickster
Orisha and Anansi, creation from the cosmic river, wisdom hidden in folktales, the world made through divine migration.
