I want to learn about Greek mythology

[Parkandride]

Purely because I just read a buzzfeed article about Disneys Hercules and remembered I'd loved the Greek history bit in primary school

Where should I start? Books, websites, apps? Not much free time but I'm a quick reader. Don't think I can dive into the Iliad though, basic and easy baby steps is what's required!

Tony Robinson’s Odysseus had me hooked as a kid, reread the books recently and they are a really fun and easy overview of some of the main characters, and encouraged me to explore further.

Op if you want a light hearted Intro why not try Mythos by Stephen Fry.

My husband is currently reading the book by Stephen Fry about Greek mythology and really enjoying it

Mythos by Stephen Fry is your friend here OP - it's like a gateway drug to the rest! Enjoy

Why don't you try Mythos? Also - have you cancelled the cheque?!

So I got distracted by life but lockdown has given me the opportunity to finish Mythos! I really enjoyed it and it was indeed a great into. Will be looking back through the thread for some follow up suggestions now, while dreaming of travel restrictions being lifted to plan a Greek trip!
