Originally published: London, England : Michael Joseph, 2017.
Ere are the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek myths, stylishly retold by Stephen Fry. The legendary writer, actor, and comedian breathes life into ancient tales, from Pandora's box to Prometheus's fire, and transforms the adventures of Zeus and the Olympians into emotionally resonant and deeply funny stories, without losing any of their original wonder. Classical artwork inspired by the myths and learned notes from the author offer rich cultural context.

A good read submitted by SusanS on August 3, 2023, 12:59pm I picked up this book because I'm a fan of Stephen Fry and thought it would be interesting to get his take on the classic Greek myths. I thought it was very good. He laid out the myths in a logical way, included myths that were new to me as well as the familiar ones, and included some wry humor. I recommend it!
