Mythos by Stephen Fry

IMG_0860.jpeg

Mythos: Think about Greek mythology. Now think of it being told in a way that is fresh and modern. That’s Mythos.

What we love: Author and narrator Stephen Fry takes you across millennia to share the stories of the original Greek Gods. Whimsy, neurotic, and much like their human creations.

There are so many mythological references in our modern lives, from our calendars to the planets. The list is endless, but the stories also mirror our human reality. Jealousy, love, life, death. All the reoccurring themes we’re familiar with can be seen as the driving forces in the myths that have been told and retold for centuries.

Interested? Then check it out. If you gobble it all up, stay tuned for our review of Heroes, the followup collection of myths retold with a modern spin.

Our fave part? Accessible mythology with a splash of modern humor. Plus, the audiobook makes for an excellent bedtime story!
