Fry is at his story-telling best . . . the gods will be pleased' Times ___________ No one loves and quarrels, desires and deceives as boldly or brilliantly as Greek gods and goddesses.

Product Information

One of the most imaginative minds alive retells the greatest stories in history - the Greek Myths The Greek myths are amongst the best 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 Mythos perfectly captures these stories for the modern age - in all their rich and deeply human relevance.

  • Delicious book

    The book is of good quality, was delivered fast. The stories are absolutely delicious, very easy to read and understand despite the fact that they are full of information and Greek names. They are also funny, considering that most of the myths are absurd, the author is not shy in pointing it out.

  • An exciting telling of ancient Greek mythology

    I am not tutored in Greek mythology or for that matter any of the more classical studies, but I found Stephen fry's 'Mythos' extremely easy to follow along with. Stephen tells the story of the creation of the titans and their jealous rivalries and the birth of the gods in his own unique and special jovial way. I am only a quarter of the way in to this book but I would recommend this book to anyone with a love of fantasy or simply an interest in Greek mythology.

  • Confusing for beginners

    If you have no idea about greek mythology, this book will seem very confusing for you. I have limited knowledge of such and even I had to re-read certain sections to understand it but atleast it gives you facts about the actual mythology rather than the stuff you "learn" off of TV Shows and Movies.

  • Best Introduction to Greek Myths

    Brilliant, erudite, funny and compellingly readable. My Greek husband loved it after first grumbling about the non-Greek, I.e.Anglicised, use of the name Zeus. I didn’t hear him grumbling about anything else (unusually!)

  • Mythos

    A nice easy introduction to the pantheon of Greek gods. Stephen Fry makes the subject accessible with his relaxed writing style without dumbing it down. A good read.

    I'm so enjoying this book, the style of writing is humorous and sometimes I feel I could be right there within the story, the myths and characters seem to come alive ,well written.
