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

The first quarter was essentially a genealogy of the ancient God's, setting up the Titans and Olympians. It was necessary but definitely slower and read more like a presentation of facts rather than story.
I found that it got much better after the first quarter.

➽ 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!
