Read February 2019. Non-fiction.
I thought I knew quite a bit about the Greek myths, but was amazed by how much I did not know after reading this excellent book. Stephen Fry writes in such and entertaining way, and his telling of these stories is very readable. There are a lot of "that makes so much sense" moments in this book, which is strange considering the weird and wonderful nature of the stories.
There are a lot of links to the development of words we use today too.
What and interesting and accessible book. I cannot wait to move on to Stephen Fry's Heroes book now, which continues on from these stories into the age of heroes.
