Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold

I really enjoyed this, especially listening to the audiobook expertly narrated by Stephen Fry himself, but at the end of the day it's a relatively straightforward (and a tad too twee for my tastes) telling of a lot of well known myths. There isn't any analysis or unpacking of these stories until the short afterward in which Fry explicitly states that he just wanted to let the stories speak for themselves.

And this is all well and good, they are great stories and if you haven't heard them before you should definitely listen to this! I knew most of them quite well, I think about once every year or so since I was a kid I dive back into Greek myths, but there were a handful of them that I was less familiar with.

I see Fry also has sequels to this book about Heroes, Troy, and an upcoming one about the Odyssey, all of which I am looking forward to listening to at some point!
