Does a book like this exist for egyptian and greek mythology, stories of their gods?
Know of a couple of greek myths but never heard of any egyptian tales.

I've heard some people big up Stephen Fry's greek retellings in his books Heroes, Mythos, and there's a new one out this year called Troy

Dude, come on, literally the damn primer (Mythology by Edith Hamilton) is exactly what you're looking for.

this is book is basically fanfiction derived from a few english translations. the original stories make much more sense because it doesn't explain or detail anything. the only reason this author is known is because he is jewish and promoted by his kin.
