Stephen Fry always satisfies

I've been a fan of Fry's voice work since I was a kid and he did the HP books, but Im infinitely grateful he took up the pen for these greek myth retellings. The phrasing being naturally his makes the story feel more personal and artfully uses his skills in humor and colorful descriptions of scenes.

Engaging retelling of the story

Stephen Fry is one of the best storytellers I've ever listened to. His knowledge and research as a writer of these books have also enhanced my listening experience. The stories are not new, but every time I listen, I learn a new linguistic term that I never connected before. Overall, a fantastic experience!

New Classic

I will listen to these books for decades to come. I am thankful for anything Stephen Fry chooses to do.

Stephen Fry was given theognostia

He knows the Gods intimately, and he has capped off an amazing quadrilogy with Odyssey. Essentially reading for any believer (as long as you keep in mind that Fry himself, self-reportedly, is not).

Stephen Fry Is Simply Delightful

Smarty, witty, and a fun update on an ancient story. Clearly a labor of love that is infectious to listen to.
