Aangename hertelling

Stephen Fry ends his delightful retelling of the Greek myths with these wise warnings to us, simple mortals: “Don’t mess with the gods. Don’t trust the gods. Don’t anger the gods. Don’t barter with the gods. Don’t compete with the gods. Leave the gods well alone. Treat all blessings as a curse and all promises as a trap. Above all, never insult a god. Ever.”
