They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. In Stephen Fry's hands the stories of the titans and gods become a brilliantly entertaining account of ribaldry and revelry, warfare and worship, debauchery, love affairs and life lessons, slayings and suicides, triumphs and tragedies. You'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis. Thoroughly spellbinding, informative and moving, Stephen Fry's Mythos perfectly captures these stories for the modern age - in all their rich and deeply human relevance. 650 0 $a Mythology, Greek. 650 0 $a Mythology, Classical. 650 0 $a Mythology. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220202014928.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200715010020.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D4C224CA019D11E89C78220097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
