I want to learn about Greek mythology

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

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.

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

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!
