Mythos: The Greek Myths Reimagined by Stephen Fry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mythos is a re-telling of Greek mythology by Stephen Fry. Or at least, the re-telling of a portion of Greek mythology. We begin with Chaos and the creation of the world and work our way through to King Midas. Along the way we meet several orders of gods, including the Titans and the familiar Olympians.

The author does an excellent job of telling these tales, bringing out both the humor and pathos in the stories. The footnotes are excellent and there are charts at the beginning of the volume which show the relationships between the gods. The map is also very helpful.

I really enjoyed this book! I remember learning some of the Greek myths in school a long time ago, and it was fun to reconnect. And Mr Fry has a very entertaining way of presenting the stories. I definitely recommends this book.
