"Mythos - The Greek Myths Retold" by Stephen Fry (Penguin Books).
A funny and entertaining way to learn about Greek mythology through the wit of Stephen Fry.
I highly recommend it.
Neil Gaiman did Norse Mythology. Makes a nice follow up.
Also, have you noticed that ever since 'Circe,' it seems like there's been a spate of Greek myths reimagined?
I've also read Norse Mythology, I've read most of what Neil Gaiman published.
I'm just working on American Gods now.
If you like Gaiman, try Tanith Lee. Start with 'Night's Master,' the story of a demon prince who toys with humanity every night.
