Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold

Stephen Fry has brought a refreshed readability to the old Greek myths with “Mythos”. Released in 2018, this is an excellent read for anyone anxiously awaiting the new Percy Jackson Disney+ series (or maybe just looking for unusual baby names.) Fry’s retelling increases the accessibility of the classics to anyone, no matter how much you already know about Greek mythology (even nothing!).

If you’ve ever wondered about where the names of the planets came from or want to know more about Pandora’s Box, then this book is for you. Fry explains the difference between Cupid and Eros, tells the story of Narcissus and Echo, and details where the names of many flowers originated. 

‘Mythos’ is an intriguing and well-paced read, full of love and deception. It is timelessly relevant to humanity with Fry’s well-loved twist of witty humor.
