Stephen Fry retells the Greek myths from the first stirrings of Chaos through the gods of Olympus and the mortals caught up with them, in modern English and with the jokes left in.
The retelling moves in rough chronological order, starting with the primordial powers, turning to the Titans and then to Zeus and his siblings, before reaching stories of transformation and punishment involving humans. Footnotes carry etymology and asides without interrupting the narrative line, which makes the book usable as a first introduction and as a reference when a name comes up elsewhere. This Penguin paperback is the opening volume in Fry's Greek myths sequence and runs 464 pages.
In this edition:
• First book in Stephen Fry's Greek myths series
• Creation, Titans and Olympian gods in sequence
• Footnotes on names, origins and word roots
• 464-page Penguin paperback edition
For newcomers to classical mythology, literature students and readers who enjoy a told story, found at Boipoka.
