Mythos is a beautiful retelling of the Greek myths that is absolutely endearing. Within the first few pages, I knew that this is the book I would like someone to read to me on my death bed. Astoundingly well written. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ is an excellent audio book -- although *by M***G on December 31, 2017* Audio retelling of the myths -- with Fry's POV and insights, is an excellent audio book -- although, if you aren't remembering your mythology clearly, the first disk about the Titans, chucked full of information, is a bit dry and requires careful listening to get through. But on Disk 2, beginning with the story of the rise of Zeus, Fry's thoughts and interjections come through and add interest to the retelling of these stories and his perspective. Recommend highly! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greek Myths Beautifully Retold *by R***L on March 17, 2018* Mr Fry is one of the authors I follow and I was excited to find this unexpected gem from him. I was used to his memoirs and contemporary tales and Mythos was a pleasant surprise.This is a wItty, beautifully written and intelligent reselling of these tales that I know so well from Robert Graves books, and I spent a delightful time with my May favorite characters from Greek Mythology who came to life in this wonderful book.I am a huge fan of Stephens writing and I anticipated this would be great, and he certainly has not disappointed in any way.If you want to revisit these stories or would like to explore the myths that certainly are intrinsic to the western world in so many ways, allow Stephen Fry to take you on this wonderful journey.I loved this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/64683277-mythos-a-retelling-of-the-myths-of-ancient-greece-hardcover](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/64683277-mythos-a-retelling-of-the-myths-of-ancient-greece-hardcover) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
