Über diesen Titel
In the beginning, everything was fine.* And then along came Zeus.
*more or less.
Ahh, Greek myths. Those glorious tales of heroism, honour and...petty squabbles, soap-opera drama and more weird sex than Fifty Shades of Grey could shake a stick at!
It's about time we stopped respecting myths and started laughing at them - because they're really very weird. Did you know Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, was born of some discarded genitals? Or that Hera threw her own son off a mountain because he was ugly? Or that Apollo once kidnapped a boat full of people while pretending to be a dolphin?
And let's not even get started on Zeus - king of the gods, ruler of the skies and a man who's never heard of self-control. In fact, if there's one thing most Greek myths have in common, it's that all the drama could have been avoided if someone could keep it in their toga....
Horrible Histories writer Susie Donkin takes us on a hilarious romp through mythology and the many times the gods (literally) screwed everything up! Stephen Fry's Mythos by way of Drunk History, Zeus Is a Dick is perfect for those who like their myths with a heavy dollop of satire.
'It's about time someone called him out on all this.' (Hera, Goddess of Marriage, wife of Zeus)
'Worst. Father. Ever.' (Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, daughter of Zeus)
'Oh yeah, focus on him. I never did anything wrong. Nothing to see here.' (Poseidon, God of the Seas, brother of Zeus)
'Just a real dick, honestly.' (Many, many people)

Hilarious!
I loved how it was recorded and I laught so hard! The book itself was so on point with debunking in a hilarious way, the mythology. I enjoyed it. Although, it was a bit flat at times, maybe due to the focus on the comedy, I really enjoyed listening to it. I am a big fan of ancient greek mythology and especially women in greek myths are a huge thing for me. so thank you for calling out patriarchy here too. so a lot of puns were hitting different, as I knew about the "classic tellings"
