In Stephen Fry's vivid retelling we gaze in wonder as wise Athena is born from the cracking open of the great head of Zeus, and follow doomed Persephone into the dark and lonely realm of the Underworld. We shiver when Pandora opens her jar of evil torments and watch with joy as the legendary love affair between Eros and Psyche unfolds.

Mythos captures these extraordinary myths for our modern age - in all their dazzling and deeply human relevance.

Review of 'Mythos' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Es fängt alles ganz interessant an und wird zum Ende hin immer „unepischer“. Irgendwie habe ich kein Interesse daran, wie der Kokus zu seinem Namen kam (auch wenn ich damit dann mit unnützen Wissen glänzen kann). Die letzten 250 Seiten waren anstrengend.
