review:
The Greek mythology is fascinating not only because of its rich characterisation and drama, but also because at the heart of all stories is the core of a philosophy that makes describing humans an exercise in the interpretation of the divine. Greek gods - the mythos - are structured around the facets of human emotions, virtues, aspects, and so much more. I greatly respect Stephen Fry as a narrator, orator, and as a person who knows to focus on being decent above political correctness and style. This book is a fantastic recollection of the greek mythos - covering a lot in such a small space and making it enjoyable. I borrowed this book from our neighbour - and it has been fantastic reading it.,
