Stephen Fry's Podgrams: Episode 1, Broken Arm". Stephenfry.com. Archived from the original on 22 August 2008 . Retrieved 4 February 2009. That being said, this is a book which requires a certain attention span and focus to read. This issue arises simply because of the topic – there have been so many, extensive retellings of the myths which Fry had to isolate stories and characters from. Unfamiliar names and creatures are bound to create some confusion for the reader. This is mitigated through the book’s structure. Rather than following a chronological approach, Fry tells the story of each hero separately and even points out inconsistencies in the timeline, which makes it a digestible read.

The heroes cleansed our world of chthonic terrors -- earthborn monsters that endangered mankind and threatened to choke the rise of civilisation. So long as dragons, giants, centaurs and mutant beasts infested the air, earth and seas we could never spread out with confidence and transform the wild world into a place of safety for humanity. On 1 February 2021, Fry supported the petition of two Holocaust survivors, Dorit Oliver-Wolff and Ruth Barnett who were asking to meet Prime Minister Boris Johnson regarding the 'genocide amendment' to the trade bill; this amendment would allow an independent parliamentary judicial committee to examine evidence of genocide.

The skills and characteristics displayed by them aren’t so foreign to us in today’s world and their experiences can be transferred, if only in a metaphorical sense.
