Fantasticicl

What a marvelous treat to reacquaint myself with the Greek Gods and Heroes, demigods and goddesses. Stephen Fry is truly a treasure and masterful story teller. Highly recommend.

Wow! What a bunch of b@$tards!

I new relatively little of Greek mythology before starting this book. And can honestly say that as entertaining as the stories were, and as soothing and captivating Stephen Fry is as a narrator, I am immensely happy that these are mere myths. I highly recommend this thoroughly entertaining book to those with time on your hands to listen, and who have no fear of hearing a litany of sins committed by a mythical bunch of b@$tards.

Vivid

Stephen Fry has followed the tradition of ages in this retelling of the Greek myths. His storytelling is superb, really bringing the characters to life, adding a dash of that British wit which doesn’t feel out of place on Mount Olympus.

There is a Greek myth for each of us.

Outstanding... way more entertaining and meaningful when narrated by Stephen Fry. What a great story teller. You can nearly visualize what he says and how he says it.
There is a Greek myth that each of us can identify ourselves with in our daily life and behaviours.
Highly recommended reading for both the young and the old.

A wonderful and fresh approach

This is a great volume for any of you out there who love myth but struggle with thr scholarly approach. Fry really gives new life into some of the most influential stories of all time.

Just an absolute joy to listen to.

Great listen for a novice

If you don’t know much about the Greek myths this is the audio book. Chapters are broken up and easy to understand. It’s very comprehensive without being overwhelming. Stephen fry’s narration pulls you in and maintains attention. I’ve listened to it 2x to fully appreciate all the information and it hasn’t felt like a tedious listen.
