What an absolute pleasure and privilege to sit down with Mr Stephen Fry and talk about classics. A HUGE thank you to Mr Fry for chatting with me and to his assistant for being so keen to plan this.

I taught myself Ancient Greek during the pandemic, I’ve been reading all the myths and histories now in the original. It’s an entirely different experience now! So fun!

Wow, you got Fry on! I watched 'a bit of Fry and Laurie' when i was a kid and loved it. Loved every role he has played since. Later i came across his books and his debates and really got to appreciate his mind. What a great guy. He is high up on the list of people I'd love to have a long conversation with. How nice that you got to do this, for all of us. Thanks to you both!

By the time I got to high school, only modern languages were available. My brother (6 years older) was able to take Latin. In college, when he needed to pick a major, he was able to pick Greek!

When I was at school (UK) in the 1970s, we read the Iliad. And wow did the teacher make the subject dry/boring. It was many years before I took an interest in Greek and Roman myths again.

You were expecting to see a bust of Plato or a replica of a parchment fragment containing the Odyssey in his den, but no, Stephen Fry has a Penn & Teller Fool Everyone Magic Kit prominently displayed and easily accessible on the top right shelf. What a human being! Congratulations for getting that experience, and for maintaining your composure, (or editing out the shakes so seamlessly). I wouldn’t have been able to stop gushing.

Thank you! I understood in doing this interview that this was not my time to shine but Mr Fry’s, which is why I didn’t interrupt. It is also just my interview style that I don’t interrupt my guests - I want them to feel comfortable and open sharing what it is that they want. However, I was particularly relaxed with this interview (more so than I usually am) not being a deep dive into Mr Fry’s mythology books for a very good reason … 👀

As a Greek, I thank you very much for dealing with the coded and hidden universal wisdom of Greek mythology. Theogony, Psychogony, and Cosmogony are taught to those who have the ability to listen and learn. Bring on your shows wise men like your guest today who unlock for us this wisdom hidden by the wretched so-called theologians.
