Average rating4.2
The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis. Spellbinding, informative and moving, Stephen Fry's Mythosperfectly captures these stories for the modern age - in all their rich and deeply human relevance.

I want to read a book a watch a tv show with a psychotherapist in a world of Greek myths. I think they need it.
I don't know much about Greek mythology except some names, but it's always fascinating to read the bloody tales. But my memory is poor and I can't remember the details even if I've read some of them many times. Even now after finishing this book, I can't say I remember much except the most famous ones but I listened to this audiobook for the experience. Stephen Fry is an excellent, hilarious and witty narrator and I really enjoyed the way he told the stories in this book.
