'An odyssey
through Greek mythology. Brilliant . . . all hail Stephen Fry' Daily Mail
___________
Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring
adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful
gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes.
In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny, tragic and timeless tales.
Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece. See
Atalanta - who was raised by bears - outrun any man before being tricked with
golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx and discover
how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help him slay the monster
Chimera.
Filled with white-knuckle chases and battles, impossible puzzles and
riddles, acts of base cowardice and real bravery, not to mention murders and
selfless sacrifices, Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable
of - at our worst and our very best.
'A romp through
the lives of ancient Greek gods. Fry is at his story-telling best . . . the
gods will be pleased' Times
'Assured and
engaging. The pace is lively, the jokes are genuinely funny' Guardian
