Fry is at his story-telling best . . . the gods will be pleased' Times ___________ No one loves and quarrels, desires and deceives as boldly or brilliantly as Greek gods and goddesses. 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. We shiver in fear when Pandora opens her jar of evil torments and watch with joy as the legendary love affair between Eros and Psyche unfolds. Mythos captures these extraordinary myths for our modern age - in all their dazzling and deeply human relevance. ___________ NOW THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MYTHOS SUITE, STEPHEN FRY AND DEBBIE WISEMAN'S MUSICAL PRODUCTION OF FRY'S THRILLING RETELLINGS 'A head-spinning marathon of legends' Guardian 'An Olympian feat.

He injects dry British humour throughout and his appendices providing background knowledge throughout were greatly appreciated. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Witty retelling of great Greek myths *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 July 2026* Ancient Greek mythology has always fascinated me with all that beauty, chaos, pettiness, and drama but it's also previously confused me.Stephen Fry brings order to the madness. He gathers the best myths into a coherent narrative, adds a clear chronology, and shows how the gods connect, clash, and occasionally cooperate. It suddenly all feels readable rather than overwhelming.This is an easy, enjoyable book, helped massively by Fry's humour and wit. His retellings make the hierarchy of the gods feel accessible, without losing any of the grandeur or absurdity that makes Greek mythology so fun.My one niggle? The footnotes. I'm not a footnote person at all. They break the flow for me, and Fry uses them liberally. Not a deal-breaker, just a mild interruption.Overall, Mythos is absolutely worth picking up, especially with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey now in cinemas. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ brilliant read *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 September 2026* Loved it, so many tales of the gods laid out really well, Stephen fry legend looking forward to the next 3 as-well. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mythos: A Retelling of the Myths of Ancient Greece - Heroes: The myths of the Ancient Greek heroes retold - PENGUIN Troy: Our Greatest Story Retold --- ## 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://frenchpolynesia.desertcart.com/products/70569087-mythos](https://frenchpolynesia.desertcart.com/products/70569087-mythos) --- *Product available on Desertcart French Polynesia* *Store origin: PF* *Last updated: 2026-10-04*
