Well, for starters, it should be said that this is Stephen Fry. For those who have read some - or all - of Fry, there is nothing more to say about the style and presentation. This book is playful, picturesque, rich in epithets, joker and pedantic in details. And as always, Fry is in love with what he writes about.Finally, it's time for an adult, with interest to perceive the myths of the ancient Greeks, without cuts and averted eyes. And who better than Stephen Fry to do it? The writer recomposes a bouquet of myths, his book is a kind of ikebana. And it's also a great way to get to Ancient Greece and have fun, plunging into Fry's style, being surprised, horrified and laughing with him.Quotes:"Ares - Mars at Romans - was, of course, not far off, fantastically stupid and unimaginative, because, as everyone knows, war is a stupid thing. then the field opened to him a wonderful view of a herd of snow-white animals that plucked the grass and bellowed softly in the moonlight.- Oh! he sighed in fascination. - What wonderful mumuchki. - Although he was extremely developed, he has not yet surpassed childish words. Hermes looked at the cows, the cows looked at Hermes.""Grieving over the death of her beloved servant, Hera took a hundred keen Argus eyes and placed them on the tail of an extremely stupid, disheveled old hen, transforming it into something what we now see as a peacock - this is how the modern proud, colorful and arrogant bird has become forever associated with the goddess Hera. ”Copyright© 2017 by Stephen Fry© A.
