For anyone who has enjoyed Stephen Fry's telling of Greek Myths so far this is a must-read! Told in the same style as it's predecessors Mythos and Heroes this is "the oldest and greatest story ever told".
It's interesting, funny and heartbreaking in equal measure, especially for fans of Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles. A brilliant choice for anyone fascinated by the Greek Gods and looking to learn more from an engaging storyteller
