Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold - Stephen Fry

Greek mythology with Stephen Fry style in language. 

 

So Zeus do a lot of sex and got a lot of goddess and women pregnant. 

 

Dialogue is funny as talked like they are drunk. 

 

A lot of incest and stories of jealous gods. As expected. 

 

It also reflected on how the Greek culture, the important of hospitality and manner of the guest. 

 

Enjoyable but slow read. As it is not a continuous story but many many stories thrown together.  

 

Zeus and Ganymede- well, Zeus did kidnapped him. But then Zeus give him immorality and a role as a cup bearer.

100+ pages to the finish and my first bingo.
