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

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.

Stephen Fry breathes life into these many myths, giving the characters dialogue and making these numerous stories much more digestible for the reader. What could have been a very meandering and confusing book was as concise as it could be considering the large subject matter. The audiobook is narrated by Stephen Fry himself which I enjoyed immensely.
Highly recommend if you love mythology and history, he weaves the two together through out the novel.
