From the birth of the universe to the creation of humankind, Stephen Fry – who fell in love with these stories as a child – retells these myths for our tragic, comic, fateful age.

My opinion

This was a easy way to get basic understanding of ancient Greek mythology. It’s not a complete collection, just a sample pieces from earlier stories. Unfortunately it didn’t include anything about Trojan war etc but I guess that’s going to be a sequel then.

For who?

People interested in Greek mythology and civilizing them self about etymology of many everyday things we don’t normally give a thought.
