It is quite explicit at times so be aware of the trigger warnings. But its mostly okay and told as a matter of fact.ebp's review against another edition

annick's review against another edition
4.0
I think it’s best read in small parts. I finished the last third over a few days and I lost interest in the work. Because of this binging.
I also like how fry highlights the homoerotic and trans representation in the ancient myths. I wish he’d picked up the systemic misogyny and racism
Laced into the cultures and myths. I recommend Natalie Haynes for addressing the sexism and misogyny in Greek myths.
I don’t plan to re read this book and there are some things I’d want to change - this is why it’s only four stars.

What a great retelling of the origins of Greek Mythology. Fantastic storytelling with a background on more than just big players, which I really appreciated.
Fry enraptured with his storytelling and captured the legends perfectly for new learners to myth, and old.
Looking forward to continuing on with this series.
