You've heard of "fuck around and find out", not get ready for "find out and fuck around".
Enjoyed this series of stories a lot. A friend who's into mythology recommended this to me and I don't regret it. It was pretty short, but each story was nice and self-contained and clearly translated. I especially appreciated the 30 page introduction setting some historical and cultural context, and the notes to reference at the end were helpful.
