Heroes by Stephen Fry

IMG_0861.jpeg

Heroes: A sequel to Mythos (check out our review here!), Heroes takes a closer look at some of the lesser known tales of the Greek gods and the Gods’ relationships with their human, shall we say, “friends” and love interests.

What we love: Author and narrator Stephen Fry stays true to form in retelling Greek mythology with his snappy modern twist, all while keeping it accessible and entertaining for all. Or at least those of us who dig mythology.

If you’re intellectually curious or looking to expand your mythological horizons, this anthology will provide countless knowledge nuggets that aren’t widely known. Ever wonder how giants came to exist? No spoilers here, but we will tell you there was some magic seed involved.

Our fave part? There’s no limit to the mythological knowledge you can gain, and this is just the start! And of course, we’re big fans of the audiobook for a nighttime wind down.
