![]() ![]() I realised really early on that despite watching and reading many books and movies centred around Greek mythology that I didn’t actually know that much about it and it was interesting to learn of the origins of Gaia and Kronos and how these myths and legends still resonate today in words and phrases we used.Īfter the creation of the modern gods that we know Zeus, Hera, Hades etc we get to see how Zeus overthrows Kronos who overthrew his own father and how Zeus became the all powerful god we know him as. From the very first sentence Stephen Fry’s comedic nature came through very clearly as he depicts the creation of the first Titans, their incestuous relationship and resulting offspring and the rising of the first Gods in Zeus and his siblings. Review: I was excited to pick up Stephen Fry’s new book retelling the Great Mythology since I have been a huge fan of all mythology since I was a child. ![]() Title: Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold (Stephen Fry’s Great Mythology #1) ![]()
