What Really Happened to Persephone? | Sleep Story | 2H

A calm adult bedtime story inspired by Greek mythology. Press play and gently let go of the day: a soft voice, slow pacing, and cozy fireplace sounds help you relax and drift off. The black screen won’t disturb your eyes, and the smooth narration carries you into the world of ancient gods and heroes—where legends sound like lullabies for a grown mind.

What you’ll hear:
Gentle retellings of Ancient Greek myths in a slow, relaxing rhythm
Soft ambient fireplace audio and pauses for deeper breathing
No sudden transitions that could pull you out of drowsiness

Perfect if you:
Are looking for an adult bedtime story
Want a calming background for sleep meditation
Need to quiet anxious thoughts and fall asleep to fireplace sounds and a soothing voice

How to listen:
Hit Play, keep the black screen on (or lower your brightness), use headphones if you like, close your eyes, and let the ancient myths lull you to sleep.
