Anyone who hasn’t heard
of the Greek gods or the myths associated with them must have been hiding out
in a barren wasteland. I’m no stranger to them having learned about them in
school and then reading all kinds of books about them over the years. But this
book by Stephen Fry is not only comprehensive from the very beginning of their
reign onwards, but it’s funny as fuck, too. Because, you know, Stephen Fry.
I had no idea how often
Zeus stuck his dick in gods and mortals alike. Sweet Baby Jane, that guy was a
Class A Horndog. But you know who else was? Poseidon and Hermes. But do you
ever hear about their wild debauchery? Noooooooo. You know who the stand up guy
was? Hades. Go figure, right? Anyway, there were a fuckton of offspring from
these gods and it all gets a bit confusing. I don’t know how anyone could keep
them all straight, but Stephen Fry lays it all out and covers it all with a
warm fuzzy blanket of humor. I recommend this book to anyone who has even the
slightest interest in Greek Mythology.
