Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold by Stephen Fry

funny informative lighthearted fast-paced
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

I listened to this book on Audible and I loved the narration! I am a huge fan of Greek myths and I thought this was one of the most enjoyable retellings I've ever read before. This covers everything from the family tree to myths based on certain themes like Crime and Punishment to famous myths related to each god or goddess in the Pantheon. Fry's retelling style of the myths is so fun because he adds in casual, fictional dialogue for the characters in the myths and retells the myth in a unique way. There's also a lengthy appendix for more information on the history etc. I'd definitely recommend this if you enjoy Greek myths!
