“Stephen Fry has dusted off the Greek myths. Starting with the creation and going through all the infights, back-stabbings, and just plain stupid mistakes of the Greek pantheon, he breaths new life into these tales with his characteristic wry humor and witty asides. A great added feature of the video book is that Fry himself reads it, so sit back, turn on your LibroFM-playing device, close your eyes and be prepared to be entertained while learning or relearning the ins and outs of Greek mythology.”

“Brush up on your classical mythology painlessly with the help of Stephen Fry! The Greek gods are brought to life with a fresh perspective and loads of uncensored naughty bits served with a side of pop culture references. Best enjoyed by listening to the Libro.fm audiobook to fully appreciate the storytelling aspect of these tales that were meant to be enjoyed in the oral tradition. But hard to resist the gorgeous package of the cloth bound hardback. I own both. :)”

“I’m envious of those who caught this live on the stage. That being said: stage, print, or audio, Stephen Fry does not disappoint with his juicy retellings of Greek Gods and legends. Ever the scholar and entertainer, expect well curated family trees and etymological asides amongst the beautifully illustrated text, the boisterous audio, or both. No matter what format you choose, you have chosen wisely; your understanding of nature and language will be forever sprinkled with a touch of mythos and delight. ”
