Stephen Fry has an incredible passion for Greek mythology, and when you pair it with his wit, you get hands down the most engaging compilation of these myths that I've read as of yet--and I've read a lot. Though not entirely comprehensive, Fry's retelling is brimming with British charm, and he turns a contemporary and sensitive eye towards queer themes within these myths. Check out the audiobook too--read by Fry, it's essential.Publisher description:
Here are the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek myths, stylishly retold by Stephen Fry. The legendary writer, actor, and comedian breathes life into ancient tales, from Pandora's box to Prometheus's fire, and transforms the adventures of Zeus and the Olympians into emotionally resonant and deeply funny stories, without losing any of their original wonder. Classical artwork inspired by the myths and learned notes from the author offer rich cultural context.
