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.

 The Details:
Narrated by author
Unabridged 

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.
