There could be no better, more useful nor more agreeable way to re-read or to learn about the classic Greek myths and heroes than these books by Stephen Fry. Wearing his enormous erudition lightly, with humanity and humour, writing with deep respect for humans and gods, Fry manages to unite the real with the mythic and spiritual, as well as bridging seamlessly the ancient and modern... breathing life and relevance into everything he writes, he presents us with the world's greatest story, shining new and easily accessible.
