A re-listen of a book I've already read before. Once again I've realised that:

● Zeus changes into anything to f*ck anything and anyone.
● Hera is a jealous b*tch
● Apollo needs to calm down a notch, even compared to all these other brutal Gods 😂
● Hermes is absolutely hilarious, especially as the well-articulated and too smart for his own goods baby he was.
● The story of Hades and Persephone stays an all-time favourite of mine
● Mortals needs to learn from their past and their mistakes... but also love how they confidently keep announcing to the Gods that they are better than them.
● Stephen Fry is a master at story-telling.

Have a new-found love for the story of Eros and Psyche. Cannot wait to read more about their story.
