The narrative strikes a satisfying balance, offering enough depth to engage without becoming overwhelming. A self-aware tone humorously highlights the absurdities of Greek myth, making the gods' juvenile and petulant behaviors more palatable, and the tangled web of incestuous relationships easier to follow. Naturally, with Stephen Fry narrating, the audiobook beautifully captures the author's avuncular charm, adding warmth and wit to the experience.
