- Such a highly requested video here on the channel! Here are all my non-ancient-source-material recommendations for all you classics newbies who don't know where to start with Greek Mythology :) I will be doing a follow-up video which is ONLY discussing the ancient source material, but for now, these are all super easy recently published books to get you into the swing of things.
A few months after filming this video, I deleted a significant amount of my content to make sure that the channel was more streamlined. Therefore, you can find all of my personal opinions of each of these books over on Good Reads: / moan-inc

From one Stephen Fry fan to another, this is absolutely amazing. Thanks again, Erica.
One book I'd recommend for newbies like myself re Ancient Rome is Mary Beard's: SPQR. Took it with me to Singapore and read it within a fortnight. It's amazing!
Ah, I popped SPQR into my next video! I LOVE that book!!!
SPQR is not good for a beginner what are you talking about?
Stephen Fry is a modern day Cicero! I just love all of his audiobooks
His voice is utterly MAGICAL to listen to 🥹
Have you ever heard of The Road to Eleusis by Gordon Wasson and Albert Hoffman??? Fascinating stuff!!
I love Stephen Fry!!
He's amazing!
Also!!! I created a list for you guys of all the books I could find about the Ancient Greek & Roman world :) Overtime I'll be updating this (and adding sections for Egypt, the Near East, Mesoamerica etc), so check it out via this link www.moaninc.co.uk/books/the-ultimate-classics-book-list
I love reading about Greek mythology
Hello , the thing with Egyptian myth is that the accepted history has undergone such a complete revision in the last 20 or so years there are no easy access sources . Afraid your going to have to go to the archeologists and liguists . ( or Herodotus )
@@woppite2932 Thank you :)
@@xCarleex there is famous novel written about it called The Egyptian by Mika Waltari. The Struggle of Thebes by Naguib Mahfouz
A passing thought , no need to reply .Send a letter to the Cairo history museum , if your halfway lucky youl get some references , bye
Wow! You’re so cute and joyful 😍 Thanks for book recs!
Haha thank you! And you’re so welcome ☺️
I just finished and loved all of Stephen Fry's books. Was surprised how much of a psycho Hercules is LOL.
can you host edith hall?
I would LOVE to 😍
Natalie Haynes writes as if she's trying to put the men down and puts the women on a pedestal. I get female empowerment and all that, but it gets in the way of the story.
