Stephen Fry’s Mythos was interesting because I’d never studied greek mythology before, and it was an okay introduction to it. I found it a bit of a slow going, something about milllenia-old stories not having all the hooks of a modern page-turner. But it was interesting connecting the dots on concepts that trace back all the way back.
(Audiobook) Very entertaining and comprehensible dive-in into a lot of ancient greek myths
Excellent audio book! Stephen Fry did a great job putting all those myths together and his storytelling is great. It was a delight to listen to it.
