A book written in such a way that only Stephen Fry could... Easy to memorize material has it is taught in a light and refreshing way. One specific thing I loved was Stephen teaches the listener of other pronunciations and beliefs around certain myths that other history sources do not provide.

Entertaining and Full of Great Learning Material

Stephen Fry's wonderful voice and wit made this book fly by. My only complaint is that I would have liked it to contain more myths, specifically of the Greek heroes. However, this wasn't the intention of the book, choosing instead to cover the gods. Hopefully there will be a follow up covering Hercules and the story of Troy, read in Stephen Fry's perfect narration.

A beautiful rendering of the Greek myths

With the charm and wit known of Stephen Fry, he transports you through the chaotic timeline of Greek myth in a linear fashion. Along the way adding in anecdotes to associate the events in these stories with linguistics, geography and anthropology. It is a fantastic read & listen, would recommend.

A wonderful retelling
