I could listen to this man talk about anything for hours. So knowledgeable. Excellent interview Erica! Even if it was basically 33 mins of Stephen rambling about wonderfully interesting things haha.
I could listen to Stephen Fry talk all day about this stuff. loved hearing his perspectives and really enjoyed hearing about his school days studying latin and greek. Thanks for making this happen Erica! xoxo
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!
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!
In the video were you review the books by Stephen you mentioned how hyped you were to get an autograph from him. How awesome that you also got him on your channel! That must have been a dream :-D
fascinating insights on the psychology of greek society, which honestly might not have been presented under a directed questioning framework. thank you for letting him have his head in expressing his thoughts. could have listened to another hour of this, though perhaps running counter to your own intentions for the channel.
I am thrilled that you got to interview the one and only Mr Fry. You totally deserve it! 🙌💎🎉 Thank you for being such a wonderful interviewer and allowing him to answer your questions in depth (the Oscar Wilde anecdote was pure gold ✨). I hope your paths cross again and we get to enjoy another future chat 💜
What a legend. I only started following your channel yesterday and you reward us with this fine treat. Like other comments I could listen to Stephen all day. Thanks for organising Erica
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.
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.
You just lived a dream of so many of us: to just sit down and have a chit chat with Stephen Fry… and about Greek mythology no less. Lol. What a magical and lucky moment to have had. Thank you so much for sharing
Great you got Stephen Fry on here. Just wish you had broken in a bit more with some more questions this felt a bit like a monologue sometimes. Had hoped you asked him about his 3 books a little.
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 … 👀
It’s just been announced that Oscar winning director Christopher Nolan’s next film will be The Odyssey. It will star Matt Damon, Tom Holland and Zendaya.
@@MoAnInc Thank you! Stephen Fry is such a multi-talented person. Very rare can you switch between some of the deepest discussions you can have on language and history and then crack up with laughter watching him do "A bit of Fry & Laurie - F1 Driver".
Absolutely nothing...I dig Fry, and your show is riveting. But you two sound like two upper class Cambridge snobs. Don't be offended, its just very English.🐩🎸🎸🎸
I could listen to this man talk about anything for hours. So knowledgeable. Excellent interview Erica! Even if it was basically 33 mins of Stephen rambling about wonderfully interesting things haha.
Hahahaha he’s absolutely amazing - it was a privilege to get to listen to him one-on-one 😍
@@MoAnInc fantastic that you let Stephen speak without interruption
All us Greeks love the way you speak for our history.Thank you
🙏
Don't modern Greeks claim Roman ancestry? Key word, CLAIM
I could listen to Stephen Fry talk all day about this stuff. loved hearing his perspectives and really enjoyed hearing about his school days studying latin and greek. Thanks for making this happen Erica! xoxo
Thank YOU for tuning it, Tyler!!! So so glad you enjoyed it ❤️

Stephen Fry captivates you by only the way he speaks and expresses himself. Love him.

Thank you for promoting our Heritage. Stephen Fry is a very educated man, a good guy as well.
Stephen Fry is so, so lovely 🤩

He has so many books in his background. His odyssey book gotta be there somewhere
😂
What a highlight to my day, Stephen Fry! 😊
(Great work Erica👍; Fry mentioned Robert Graves, any chance you devote a video on his "Golden Fleece"?)

I was riveted to the screen throughput……. A smashing interview Erica! Cheers…. An American Rebel! (Boston)
Thank you!
You ask Fry one question and you can sit back for 20 minutes.
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!
And here I was feeling accomplished for reading Moby Dick and learning to cook soup...

You are doing a great job with your channel. Stephen is always a very valuable speaker and a very dear person. Greetings from Athens!
Thank you so much for your support and kind words 🥹 It means so much to me!
99% or 100% of Greek myths have a basis in truth
Understanding the language is the clue to translation
Wonderful interview ! His enthusiasm is always ao infectious. Happy for you and your channel’s growth as you do deserve it.

There's no wonder as to why people stared at him at the party. The moment this man starts talking, how can anyone not stare and listlen?

Thank YOU so much for watching! ✨🫶🏼
Congratulations Erica. Love your content as always
Thank youuuuu 🩷
What is the best way for me (a 50 year-old native English speaker) to learn Latin and/or Greek?
Lorna wrote a great article for my website about how you can learn latin from home! www.moaninc.co.uk/blog/so-you-want-to-learn-latin
Great you got Stephen Fry on here. Just wish you had broken in a bit more with some more questions this felt a bit like a monologue sometimes. Had hoped you asked him about his 3 books a little.

Thrilled that you enjoyed it!
He's the reason I got into classics, and the reason I found you (looking for moooore). Kudos on the interview! You did great!

I was enjoying this so much I didn’t want it to end🥺 THANK YOU ERICA, what an AMAZING interview, so so proud of you♥️♥️
🥹🫶🏼🥰
It was too short but great! Thank you! 💞
Thank you for watching :))))
Stephen Fry: ask a question, sit back and enjoy
Pretty much 😎
Very interesting interview. But around the 36th meaning he's referring to the characters of the Russian playwriter Chehov not to Czech drama!!
Wind him up and watch him go! Great questions that allowed Stephen to go deeper into this than I have heard elsewhere.
🙏✨
It’s just been announced that Oscar winning director Christopher Nolan’s next film will be The Odyssey. It will star Matt Damon, Tom Holland and Zendaya.
Stephen Fry!
Wowsers. Well done.
Thank you ✨
@@MoAnInc 💪💕
I would absolutely love to read the biography of Oscar Wilde written by Stephen Fry. Please.
1000%
Congrats Moan!
🙏🙏🙏
STE 😮 PHEN 😮 FRY 😮
On a more serious note- what an interview!! 🎉
Thank you, darling!!!!! 🫶🏼
I am the same when it comes to Tolkien. His works never did it for me.
Congratulations on a wonderful interview! Would love to see the three of you with Luke from polýMATHY come together for a discussion.
Thanks for watching ✨✨✨

The only thing I dislike about this video is that it’s not longer.
Honestly same
Love the show but not the pretentious British accents.
I have no idea what response you were hoping to get for this comment
Absolutely nothing...I dig Fry, and your show is riveting. But you two sound like two upper class Cambridge snobs. Don't be offended, its just very English.🐩🎸🎸🎸
Unless you are the only one who speaks you are chatting "with" Stephen Frye not "to" Stephen Frye!
Thank you, The Grammer Police. 😮
Oh my goodness unloved this ep
Amazing chat Erica!
