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 was a very coherent, at times funny and detailed telling of greek mythology. I enjoyed the audiobook very much, Stephen Fry is a great narrator.

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 takes you on a divine journey across Greek mythology, explaining detail after detail of the lives, loves, and lies of each of the gods and goddesses. I probably would never have known as much about myths as I do now as I can retell the origins of something as simple as honey! Spoken in the audiobook, Fry’s voice is easy to listen to and animated, although I do recommend listening on an increased speed!

A highly informative way to learn about Greek mythology but there is lots of content and quite slow
