Book 48 of 2024: Mythos by Stephen Fry
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mythos is a modern collection of Greek myths, stylishly retold by legendary writer, actor, and comedian Stephen Fry. Fry transforms the adventures of Zeus and the Olympians into emotionally resonant and deeply funny stories.
12 books recommended by 12 friends in 2024 book 3! My friend from high school @erin_wildcat recommended this book on audio and it was a really fun and entertaining listen. I’ve kind of been in my Greek mythology era recently so it was fun to hear the myths retold in a modern and approachable way, and it was definitely a refreshing take on the usuall tellings. I also loved how many mythic the book was able to cover! I feel like no character was left undiscussed. Some of the stories were perhaps not as in depth as other renditions but the book still gave a lot of information in a friendly tone. Thanks for the recommendation, Erin! This was really enjoyable!
