Life hack for reading Stephen Fry's books on ancient Greek mythology: skip books #1 and #2 and go directly to #3 Troy and #4 The Odyssey.
This is FANTASTIC and it's reminding me how much I loved his retelling of The Odyssey. #1 and #2 have interesting stories, but lack the central story lines these books have. Both retell Homer's original in modern day prose AND add in other relevant mythology to fill out the story

I did think books 1 & 2 were a good intro to the heirachy of the Greek gods, esp for a newbie like me. Once I figured out The Who’s who of Greek gods, a lot of the stories made more sense.
