Stephen Fry drags you deep into the tales he spins from the time of Ancient Greece and it's Heroes. Each individual's story is never rushed, and no aspects are lightly brushed over, regardless of the fact that you've read their whole life in a handful of chapters. Heroes was incredible. Loved the footnotes, they were impeccably helpful. Can't wait to read Mythos.

I really like learning about mythology. I really liked the updated language that was used. This book started out so fantastic. I think it would have been more enjoyable if it focused on fewer heroes or included other stories. It became pretty monotonous😬. I really liked Fry’s narration.
