Here are the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek myths, stylishly retold by Stephen Fry. The legendary writer, actor, and comedian breathes life into ancient tales, from Pandora’s box to Prometheus’s fire, and transforms the adventures of Zeus and the Olympians into emotionally resonant and deeply funny stories, without losing any of their original wonder. Classical artwork inspired by the myths and learned notes from the author offer rich cultural context.

Review of 'Mythos' on 'Goodreads'

Very well written. Fry does a great job of weaving the crazy stories into something more palpable. It does take a dip about 2/3rds of the way through, but other than that it's pretty good.
