Loading... Odyssey (Stephen Fry's Great Mythology, #4) (edition 2024)by Stephen FryPossibly the end of the series (unless he continues with the Aenid). In a long tradition (Robert Graves and others) of retelling the ancient myths, Fry has finally arrived at the end of the ancient greek core mythology. As with previous entries in the series, it's a mix of irreverent retelling, commenting on the story itself, giving some historical background of the events and places and criticism of the text itself. As such it serves both as an introduction to, and overview of the texts themselves. The downside is that you're never really lost in the story itself. |
