ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
In "Mythos" by Stephen Fry, the reader is immersed in the captivating world of Greek mythology, from the creation of the universe to the interactions of gods, mortals, and monsters. The narrative begins with the primordial chaos and the rise of the Titans and Olympians, setting the stage for the many stories to come. Love, loss, and transformation are reoccurring themes throughout the book, including tales such as Semele and Zeus, Actaeon's demise, and Psyche's trials to be with Cupid. The book also explores the consequences of hubris and the complex relationships between gods and mortals. Morality tales depict characters like Sisyphus and Arachne, who face eternal punishments for their transgressions, while others like Philemon and Baucis are rewarded for their hospitality. The book delves into these captivating stories without delving into their meaning, allowing them to speak for themselves.
