an endearing, deeply informative and riveting retelling of some of the best ancient greek myths. i loved the footnotes and the background information, and fry occasionally taking creative license with each story adds colour and dimensions to the stories that black-and-white recountings or translations do not. the genealogical sections were at times hard to follow but fry does make it about as clear as possible! really really enjoyed this. 4 starsĀ

Moderate: Animal death, Body horror, Death of parent, Sexual violence, and Violence
All the content warnings apply to pretty well known myths, I think if you could get a hold of the chapter titles you would be able to look up where it might get more challenging.
