An absolute delight. Stephen Fry's wit and eloquence capture the allure, majesty, and absurdity of the most renown Greek myths in a fresh way. My favorite parts of the book were the footnotes, which delve into fun facts that connect these myths to the present, such as how Greek myth influenced English etymology. I'll have to give the audiobook a shot since it seems to stand heads and shoulders above the (already) wonderful book, thanks to Fry's charm!
