Stephan Fry is a phenomenal story teller! His retellings of the Greek myths and how they influenced (or were just straight up taken and had names changed) other religions, primarily Christianity is truly fascinating. I enjoy his dramatizations of how conversations between heroes and gods occurred and I really loved how he expressed the absolute lack of logic his subject(s) had. This book expands on the first of the trilogy, Mythos. Heracles, Jason, Oedipus and more take center stage with Stephan Fry narrating his own book.
