Stephen Fry Greek Myths Series Collection 3 Books Set (Troy, Heroes, Mythos)

Great books

These books were a gift so I haven't read them, but they were gratefully received.

They seem like something I will enjoy but I haven't had time to read them yet.

Still onthe first book, but is a great source to understand greek mythology and its impact on the language.

Only commenting on the packageing as it's for a present: not really a book set , just the three books wrapped in plastic.I initially thought it was a special edition with a nice packaging.So it's actually cheaper getting them separately...

I know Stephen Fry can divide opinion, but I'm a huge fan of his writing. Across these 3 books, he demonstrates his scholarly knowledge (and appreciation) of the Greek myths. I studied classics at school, but they were never brought to life as vividly as they are in these books. You may well be familiar with many of the stories, but Fry's wry commentary adds depth to the tales and puts them in a modern context.I was absolutely hooked from the first paragraph. As Fry himself frequently admonishes throughout the books, don't get hung up on remembering the myriad confusing names; the important ones will stick. It is amazing how these myths form the cornerstone of many aspects of modern western civilisationI've passed the books on to my teenage daughter, who having graduated from Percy Jackson is now loving them too!A top recommendation.

I have always lover Greek mythology, but bought these for my 12yr old son who lived the Percy Jackson books… thought these would challenge him to read to a higher level and he lived them! Added bonus is he has now given to me to read and I am loving them as well! Stephen Fry is a national treasure and I would highly recommend these to anyone who loves mythology!

Christmas present for my son. Goodcread and very interesting
