Mythos reviews from people you don't follow
Audiobook: Stephen Fry’s excellent book narrated expertly.
I love Stephen Fry’s voice, and he reads his book so well. There’s great detail and great story choices. I’m a big fan of Greek mythology anyway, ever since I was a child, and this is a superb way to revisit those stories. It’s a great selection, I really enjoyed his take on the stories and what he added to the dialogue of the Gods, Goddesses and unfortunate humans.

Fry dumbs it down but makes you feel like an expert
A witty book packed with fascinating facts. fry leads you on a volcabulary journey, for you don't only learn about the 'history' of Greek Mythology, you learn how the gods influenced many of the words we use today.
