Welcome to another buddy read between me and the wonderful Bibliobeth! We decided to read Mythos due to a mutual admiration for Greek Myth and Stephen Fry. Pick up a copy here: Penguin UK / Amazon UK / Amazon US / Goodreads Buddy Read With Beth (Bibliobeth) Mythos captures these extraordinary myths for our modern age – in all their dazzling and deeply human relevance. We shiver when Pandora opens her jar of evil torments and watch with joy as the legendary love affair between Eros and Psyche unfolds. In Stephen Fry’s vivid retelling we gaze in wonder as wise Athena is born from the cracking open of the great head of Zeus and follow doomed Persephone into the dark and lonely realm of the Underworld. No one loves and quarrels, desires and deceives as boldly or brilliantly as Greek gods and goddesses. For hardcore fans of the Mythology of Ancient Greece, this is an impressive and dynamic ode to the influences these stories had on the formation of great story telling. For people that are uninformed on this subject, Fry is an absolutely superb entry into Greek Myths. Target Audience: Readers who love a good dose of both Ancient Greek Mythology and the witty intellect of Stephen Fry.
