Mythos A Retelling of the Myths of Ancient Greece Stephen Fry Books

It's been a very long time since I've enjoyed a book as much I have this one. Mythos is a beautiful retelling of the Greek myths that is absolutely endearing. Within the first few pages, I knew that this is the book I would like someone to read to me on my death bed. Astoundingly well written.

Mythos A Retelling of the Myths of Ancient Greece Stephen Fry Books Reviews

Writty and informative, Frys retelling of greet mythology sticks in my mind the way no other account of mythology ever had. It’s a true joy to read as it puts lots of loose pieces of names and places in my together, place them into context and give me a deep understanding of why the Greek gods still are talked about and used as references in our lives.
Book is beautiful. Shipping was great; however, the book reeks of sulfur and I cannot get rid of it. I have tried everything suggested by anyone who knows anything about books, and nothing works. The smell is so potent and overpowering that I can’t stand it have it around. It’s in a ziplock bag and living out in my garage right now. I’m not sure what has caused this nauseating smell, but it has made the book unreadable.
Great book, at a great price, and given where it needed to travel from, it was delivered fast. Prior to its estimate, and just in time for my husband to take with him on his next trip.

He downloads lots of books to read and uses Audible, too. But sometimes, he just wants to hold a real book and read where he has no phone charge, or where he can't (or won't) take his phone. The beach, certain workplaces where phones aren't allowed, etc.

The only negative is that the cardboard envelope this was mailed in, got wet once it was put into and stuck out a little from the mailbox. The book was fine, but the receipt with it was not. Easily might've been the book that suffered, as the cardboard was wet all the way through and to the other side.
Since childhood, I have enjoyed reading about Greek mythology when my parents gave me my first book. The retelling of the myths by Stephen Fry is captivating. I bought this book because I find Stephen Fry on his show QI to be able to explain things in such a way to make even the most mundane or unbelievable subject enjoyable. I made a good choice to read the book, before listening to the audiobook of Mythos. You will not be disappointed.
What a joy to read a coherent and clearly well researched story about the very naughty Greek gods written by one of the best intellectual minds out there. No matter what your beliefs, this is a romp you cannot fail to enjoy, Stephen Fry's prose as alive with mischief as the characters. You will have a smile on your face all the way through.
Mr Fry is one of the authors I follow and I was excited to find this unexpected gem from him. I was used to his memoirs and contemporary tales and Mythos was a pleasant surprise.

This is a wItty, beautifully written and intelligent reselling of these tales that I know so well from Robert Graves books, and I spent a delightful time with my May favorite characters from Greek Mythology who came to life in this wonderful book.

I am a huge fan of Stephens writing and I anticipated this would be great, and he certainly has not disappointed in any way.

If you want to revisit these stories or would like to explore the myths that certainly are intrinsic to the western world in so many ways, allow Stephen Fry to take you on this wonderful journey.

I loved this book.
Audio retelling of the myths -- with Fry's POV and insights, is an excellent audio book -- although, if you aren't remembering your mythology clearly, the first disk about the Titans, chucked full of information, is a bit dry and requires careful listening to get through. But on Disk 2, beginning with the story of the rise of Zeus, Fry's thoughts and interjections come through and add interest to the retelling of these stories and his perspective. Recommend highly!
