"Reading Mythos is like attending an ancient Greek class by your
favorite, quick-witted British professor. "--The Mary Sue
Holiday Gift Guide Pick "Mythos is filled with all their favorite
Greek myths, along with stunning illustrations and notes from the
author. It's a quick-witted retelling so beginners and experts can
both get something from it."
-Buzzfeed
Holiday Gift Pick "Let waggish comic actor Fry be your ferryman as
he retells, with the aid of eminent classical artwork, the ancient
and strangely au courant Greek legends. Among them: Zeus and Hera's
coupling of which Cry writes, 'Crackling with tension, impatience,
and disgust, theirs was nonetheless a great marriage.'"
- O, The Oprah Magazine
"[Stephen Fry's] gloriously imaginative, erudite, warmhearted, and
subversively funny retelling of the classic Greek
myths...thoroughly enchanting and elucidating"
-Brain Pickings
"If you ever thought Greek mythology was intimidating, Stephen
Fry's approach will appeal to you, as he explains the myths in
casual terms relating them to modern-day people or events (yes,
there's even a reference to Morrissey). There is also plenty of
just generally funny commentary that had me laughing out loud and
sharing passages with my family."
-GeekDad
"Here are the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek
myths, stylishly retold by Stephen Fry. The legendary writer,
actor, and comedian breathes life into ancient tales, from
Pandora's box to Prometheus's fire, and transforms the adventures
of Zeus and the Olympians into emotionally resonant and deeply
funny stories, without losing any of their original wonder.
Classical artwork inspired by the myths and learned notes from the
author offer rich cultural context." - Thought Catalog
