I own the other two books in the trilogy already and loved hearing Stephen Fry do a reading for Troy so I pushed myself through. Partially glad that I did but by the end I was so over it 😂 I’m hoping what I’ve seen from other reviewers is correct in that Heroes is way better than Mythos! 🙈
If you know nothing or very little about Greek myths then I’d recommend this for the pure amount of info you’ll get on the gods and background stories. You may enjoy this if you love Greek mythology too, I love the topic but sadly this one didn’t do it for me but I know others enjoyed it.

As a person who has some understanding of myth, it was easy to click to the stories that I already knew and I was fascinated by those I didn’t!
The writing style was funny, casual and accessible to all, not sparing any details to understand the brutality of some of these myths.
An enjoyable book, did. enjoy and would recommend.

➽ I have always liked the Greek myths, so Stephen Fry's retelling was great to experience! I highly recommend the audiobook, as he's such a great narrator and makes the different stories sound so interesting! I know a bit about Greek Mythology, so I liked how Stephen Fry retold the stories in an interesting way, adding his own comments and referencing research about the origin and deviations of the myths!
Minor: Physical abuse, Death, Murder, Rape, and Sexism
