Rather generic white-man take at Mythology recapping. Covers a lot of things, but nothing too special. Doesn't offer any remarkable or good insight into anything and felt rather male-driven and focused.

Fry does a great job making the Greek mythology work as a sustained narrative. The audiobook has the added treat of hearing Fry’s funny and eloquent narration.

This is a good retelling of the Greek myths. If you don't know the myths or need a recap, this does that in a concise and easy to follow manner. Also, Stephen Fry's performance makes the book quite enjoyable.
