Honestly Stephen Fry can do no wrong. His modernized versions of Greek myth make for a highly accessible and deeply gratifying read or listen. The audiobook version is like a bed time story for adults. His voice and inflection tell a compelling tale that hooks you all the way till the tragic end. I'm a big fan of the Robert Fagle Translations of Homer, but Stephen is a huge win for anyone looking to delve into myth but is caught in modern language and framing and struggle with older translations.
