But the narration was easy to follow and mixed in with relatable humor. It was the perfect audiobook, and I wish there were more myths included in this because it helped me understand easier the beliefs of Ancient Greece.
And I LOVE Greek mythology.

Part of what makes this so informative is Fry‘s attention to detail, always citing his sources when there are divergent versions of a myth, among other things. I also really appreciated his many references to the etymology of everyday words and their links to Greek myths, as well to the reception of some stories in classic and modern literature. It really helps bring the stories to the present.
The characters are vivid and memorable, and the audio narration (which was great, as expected) enhanced this, too.
I do think some of the very short stories could’ve been cut (especially in the Metamorphosis part). It all became a bit too fast paced and confusing for me then.
Overall however I loved this, would definitely recommend, and will definitely read the next book in the series!
