Disneys big budget blockbuster had so much potential. The rich mythology and beautiful historical setting could have been used more fully to create something more engaging. And although its Disney, malificent showed how adding some darkness can create a better movie. Also the feminist angle could have been explored more deeply and with more potential for awkward comedy. This was still an entertaining family movie but could have been so much more

Fight like Alexandra Andros
I'm a huge fan of Greek mythology to begin with but the vivant series is my fav orite. Jennifer L Armentrout is a spectacular writer who work is always outstanding.

Alexandra Andros (Alex) is a great lead character strong and cool Harry but brilliant follows her heart and always does the right thing if people want a strong female lead you can not get better than Alex

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.

A decent sword & sandals film. Generally more like 300 than Clash of the Titans thankfully. From the same producers I believe as 300 and it has a very similar CGI visual style to it. A nice twist to some of the Greek mythology in the story. The fight scenes are well choreographed and the SFX are very good. Add to that Mickey Rourke giving a good performance as the chief villain and you have a very good film.

Ancient Greece, without a doubt, is my favourite period of history and Greek mythology has always intrigued me.

Weirdly, this was my first book with a Greek mythological theme and I can't say I wasn't blown away.

And to top it all, it was one of the best sizzling romances I have read in a while...I mean you could feel the heat.
