A nice overview of Greek Mythology by Stephen Fry. There are some fun and cheeky bits like you'd expect from Fry, but the book is more informative than comedy. It's still a fun listen though, it's by no means a dry or dull book. I really enjoyed his afterword. If he put out stories with more detailed accountings of individual characters I would read them, and probably enjoy them more. I'm more of a in the weeds type when it comes to stories vs broad overviews. The parts where Fry shows how Greek mythology effects our language today was particularly enjoyable as well.
