Creation, the beginning, until the gods stopped interacting with man is the comprehensive timeline for Stephen Fry's superb work, Mythos: A Retelling of the Myths of Ancient Greece. The author's passion for the subject is evident by his rendition of the ancient tales which occur throughout the known world from a Greek perspective. As Fry notes, no other culture has a mythology that is so intricate, vibrant, and compelling. Literature owes so much to Greek Mythology by its contribution of common words and pronouns whose name symbolize the chief qualities of a particular creature.
The Audiobook is special because one hears the enthusiasm and deft voice alterations of its narrator, Stephen Fry, himself. The eloquence of voice and word choice in the compilation of this work of love lives in its telling. This book is the best, yet, this listener has come across in this fascinating genre.
