Heroes: The Greek Myths Reimagined (Stephen Fry’s Great Mythology #2) by Stephen Fry
- Publisher: Chronicle Books, 2020
- Genre: Mythology
- Format: Hardcover (eARC)
- Page Count: 352 pages
- My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)
Though the lightheartedness of the narrative does not align with my personal sense of humour, I really appreciate Fry’s attempt in making the stories simple and funny.
Heroes focuses on 8 heroic characters – Perseus, Heracles, Bellerophon, Orpheus, Jason, Atalanta, Oedipus, and Theseus. It is easy for people of any age to understand and enjoy. If you are into fun storytelling mixed with some murmuring of the author, you would find the tweaks in conversations making the dialogues more witty and interesting.
I definitely recommend this book for those interested in Greek mythology but probably not too seriously so. [5 Mar 2020]
I received an e-ARC from Chronicle Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
