Pentapod reviewed Mythos by Stephen Fry
Stephen Fry's rather conversational telling of the Greek myths
4 stars
I was expecting something a little more formal or traditional I suppose, but instead this is a very conversational, casual style retelling of the Greek myths by Stephen Fry. If you listen to the audiobook, he narrates it himself, which is of course enjoyable. He's clearly read and distilled a ton of sources, but then recounts the stories in an approachable, simple, and amusing way - rather as if you're just sitting in a pub with him over a pint of beer while he tells you these stories. Not heavy on details but covers all the main and many of the minor characters and events.
