My second Stephen Fry mythology book in as many days (I just read Mythos and loved that) and once again it gets 5*s leading me to think maybe I should try some of Fry's other books out. I don't want to say too much more about this other than that it continues where the first book Mythos leaves off and we move from looking at the Gods themselves to looking at the Heroes and Demi-gods and offspring of Gods who are still remembered today.Fry takes us through stories of a small handful of heroes, but the number of other names he throws at the reader is massive. I think it’s important not to try and remember all of these characters. To try and do so would spoil the fun, you will get the ‘gist’ of the story by just reading through them – and in time, you’ll remember more than you think you have. My memory is really crappy – and I did it!! An Open Letter to Stephen Fry". Mollylewis.bandcamp.com. 11 February 2011. Archived from the original on 30 October 2011 . Retrieved 22 October 2011. For some months now I have been wriggling my way through the fascinating world of Greek Mythology and I have finally come to the realisation these stories are Nursery Rhymes for Grown-ups. Having read and watched a few of these tales, I know how they end, I always know what the heroes and villains will do, but I just want to hear it again and again and each time I hear/watch a story – it's always slightly different. More often than not there’s a different spin, or a slightly divergent theme. Even though these stories were created many, many years ago they are still very much alive.
