Stephen Fry has captured the chaos and wonder of Greek mythology, with tales that are accessible to new and old readers of the classic myths. I feel the humorous tone was especially visible through Fry's own narration, and loved the pieces of etymology and poetic references he threw in, creating more than a simple retelling. While unsurprisingly dark at times, Mythos is full of great stories of love, discovery and loss.
