Mythos
Book 4 | Volume 2 | Inntravel Book Club
“There’s no trip to Greece that will not be improved by reading Stephen Fry’s Mythos. These ancient tales are brought exploding back to life in Fry’s inimitable style: warm, witty, learned, but deliciously digestible at the same time. And, brilliantly, you don’t need a classical education to dive in.
There’s so much fun here. He clearly loves his source material, but respects it too, and takes us right back to the beginning. We start with an empty universe, with Gaia, Chaos, and the Titans, and we go up to Zeus and the Olympians with a glorious, complicated cast of dryads, naiads, centaurs, and giants.
And, once you’ve read these stories, just looking around Greece is more fun.”
