About this listen

Here are the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek myths, stylishly retold by Stephen Fry. The legendary writer, actor, and comedian breathes life into ancient tales, from Pandora's box to Prometheus's fire, and transforms the adventures of Zeus and the Olympians into emotionally resonant and deeply funny stories, without losing any of their original wonder. Learned notes from the author offer rich cultural context. This volume is a doorway into a captivating world.

Stephen Fry's love of Greek myth from childhood and the stories he read then, shines through this audiobook. It was great.

I also really enjoyed hearing the story of the Greek gods through time, and of the gods' interactions with men. There are so many good stories. ... and I'll think of his comments towards the end, when he ponders on the reasons why these myths stick to us and continue to hold meaning and richness.

An absorbing retelling of Greek myths.

A tremendously pleasing telling of myth. This book transported my mind to glory, betrayal, honour, and all the human emotions of past tales. Mr. Fry is a solid and gentle announcer of splendid origins and woeful story.

A wonderful retelling of tales I'd only knew in very scant detail beforehand. Given new life by the exceptionally talented and erudite Mr.Fry, I found myself absorbed in this ancient world, characters leapt into full form one after the other and gave me new appreciation for the pure enjoyment of myths on their own without dissection. I look forward to the next two in the series.

Enchanting and Masterfully Performed

Stephen Fry delivers this content masterfully, with perfect intonation, colour and wit.

He also manages to make the connections between their ancient world and our current one and colourfully enlighten the reader to many word origins.
