Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold by Stephen Fry
The incomparable Stephen Fry takes us through the Greek Pantheon and all its intricacies.
The narration is very well done and it was an excellent refresher. It‘s always amazing to realize how many other god stories and other mythologies have borrowed from Greek mythology!
Every now and then I spaced out a bit, when Fry listed names after names of gods, heroes and various humans, however the retelling of it all was entertaining and very educational.
Further books in the series:
Heroes: Mortals and Monsters, Quests and Adventures — not sure about this one
Troy — very tempted!
The Odyssey — probably time for a refresher about this as well…
This does sound promising. I’ve not read many books about Greek mythology but would be interested to learn more. I’ve been using my Borrowbox library app a lot, and this author comes up sometimes. Thanks for the recommendation. 🙂 xx
