Yeah I didn't fuck with Mythos. I feel like it takes up an almost anti-intellectual approach to Greek myths. “No need to think about the sociological reasons behind these myths or the way they were passed down and changed through history, just sit back and enjoy the narrative”. Fine–the book is obviously very much pop-history, but the problem is that the way Fry presented the narrative was just not super fun to read. The quirky millennial humour tone felt quite grating. Unfortunate.
