Rather generic white-man take at Mythology recapping. Covers a lot of things, but nothing too special. Doesn't offer any remarkable or good insight into anything and felt rather male-driven and focused.

Fry does a great job making the Greek mythology work as a sustained narrative. The audiobook has the added treat of hearing Fry’s funny and eloquent narration.

This was a very coherent, at times funny and detailed telling of greek mythology. I enjoyed the audiobook very much, Stephen Fry is a great narrator.

It is quite explicit at times so be aware of the trigger warnings. But its mostly okay and told as a matter of fact.
