The way they want to be treated by men needs to come from me".

Mythology is a box set compilation of recordings by the Gibb Brothers, mostly performed as the Bee Gees, arranged in a four disc set each highlighting a Gibb brother. Barry and Robin chose their own songs (presumably their personal favourites), with Maurice's songs selected by his widow Yvonne and Andy's songs selected by his daughter Peta.
Background
All of the songs on Barry's & Robin's disc have already been released on CD, though several are receiving new remasters by Rhino/Reprise, which is true for all the songs in this set. Maurice's disc includes two unreleased tracks from 1999, "Angel of Mercy" and "The Bridge", as well as his 1984 single "Hold Her in Your Hand", which makes its CD debut. Missing from Maurice's disc is his jazzy "My Thing" from 1970 and a rare B-side, "I've Come Back" from 1970, of which the latter has never been released on CD. Andy's disc contains his previously unreleased final song from 1987, "Arrow Through the Heart", which was briefly heard on Behind the Music: Andy Gibb.
Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes is a book written by Edith Hamilton, published in 1942 by Little, Brown and Company. It has been reissued since then by several publishers. It retells stories of Greek, Roman, and Norsemythology drawn from a variety sources. The introduction includes commentary on the major classical poets used as sources, and on how changing cultures have led to changing characterizations of the deities and their myths. It is frequently used in high schools and colleges as an introductory text to ancient mythology and belief.

The book contains an introduction and seven sections:

DEAD RECKONING (FEAT. FIT FOR A KING) LYRICS
I GAVE UP EVERYTHING
WITH BOTH MY FEET IN THE GRAVE
SOMEHOW I FOUND MY STRENGTH
BEFORE MY SOUL HAD DECAYED
REDEMPTION CALLED MY NAME
BUT IT WAS SCREAMING IN VAIN
NOW ALL THAT’S LEFT INSIDE THESE WALLS IS BLOOD
BLOOD HAS STAINED
NOW ALL THAT’S LEFT INSIDE THESE WALLS IS BLOOD
BLOOD ON MY FACE
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
DEAD RECKONING
MY SHAME WAS CRUSHING ME
POISONED REALITY
BURIED UNDER THE WEIGHT WITH A COUPLE GRENADES
BUT NOW THERE’S BLOOD ON MY FACE
I’M RISING FROM THE FALL
BREAKING DOWN EVERY WALL
NOW THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE
BETTER RING THE ALARM
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
DEAD RECKONING
STARING DESTINY IN THE FACE
MAKING SURE IT REMEMBERS MY NAME
YOU WILL NOT DESTROY ME
DEAD RECKONING
THROUGH THE BLOOD, THE SWEAT, THE SACRIFICE
I'LL BREAK THROUGH THE WALL NO MATTER THE PRICE
THROUGH THE PAIN, THE HURT, THE HEARTACHE
TEARING DOWN THE SKY MY SOUL TO RETAKE

Wide open eye You serious You delirious Kissing chaos Have you got a heart? You could really lose it in the Super-People-Mart You are the most beautiful thing I know And the most beautiful thing ... is When I hear your heart beat ... beat ... beat ... beat ... beat Will human be Dumb and free or some amazing catastrophe Never too scared to bare To care To running to the riots where the moment meets The most beautiful thing I know And the most beautiful thing Something knew, I dunno why I know all there is I know Something knew, I dunno why I know all there is I know La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Baby!
