Mythos: A Retelling of the Myths of Ancient Greece | Stephen Fry

Absolutely flipping brilliant. I‘m a lifelong Greek mythology nerd and his telling of these stories was a breath of fresh air. And the humor! Loved it.

D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths | Ingri D'Aulaire

Watching the nibling for the afternoon, and they‘re doing a Greek mythology thing at school, so it‘s time to bring out the book I got for Christmas when I was their age. ❤️

RamsFan1963 I loved this book as a kid, the beginning of my love for Greek Mythology, and mythology in general. I checked it out from the library so often I felt like I owned it. 1d

Clytemnestra: The spellbinding retelling of Greek mythology�s greatest heroine | Costanza Casati

Couldn‘t decide what sort of mood I was in so I‘ve ended up reading 5 books concurrently….

Cuilin I used to be a one book at a time until I joined Litsy. Now I consistently have about 6 on the go at one time. #BlameItOnLitsy lol 📚🤦‍♀️😁 7d

TheEllieMo @Cuilin we have to find a way to get through all those books on our TBR piles, don‘t we?! 7d

Stone Blind: A Novel | Natalie Haynes

pick

An excellent retelling - I thought it was well written in a sympathetic way with modern overtones along with some humour. It‘s a sad story and I did feel for Medusa. She didn‘t deserve it. The gods themselves are brought to life wonderfully and they were easy to picture in my mind. By the end of the book I can quite safely say that Medusa isn‘t the monster in this story. My money is on Perseus! A thoroughly enjoyable and engaging read.

Percy Jackson 2 - The Sea of Monsters | Riordan, Rick

Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters is a really good book to read. I recommended reading it because it has a lot of deep friendships involved in the story.

Greek Myths: A Wonder Book for Girls & Boys | Nathaniel Hawthorne

These little people, quite recovered from their fatigue, had set about gathering checkerberries, and now came clambering to meet their playfellows.
Thus reunited, the whole party went down through Luther Butler‘s orchard, and made the best of their way home to Tanglewood.
