“For the world seems never to offer anything worthwhile without also providing a dreadful opposite.”

➽ I have always liked the Greek myths, so Stephen Fry's retelling was great to experience! I highly recommend the audiobook, as he's such a great narrator and makes the different stories sound so interesting! I know a bit about Greek Mythology, so I liked how Stephen Fry retold the stories in an interesting way, adding his own comments and referencing research about the origin and deviations of the myths!
