À propos de cet audio

In the newest installment of the best-selling series Mythos, legendary author and actor Stephen Fry moves from the exploits of the Olympian gods to the deeds of mortal heroes.

Perseus. Jason. Atalanta. Theseus. Heracles. Rediscover the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek myths. Whether recounting a tender love affair or a heroic triumph, Fry deftly finds resonance with our own modern minds and hearts.

  • Each adventure is infused with Fry's distinctive voice and writing style.
  • Connoisseurs of the Greek myths will appreciate this fresh-yet-reverential interpretation, while newcomers will feel welcome.
  • Retellings brim with humor and emotion.

"Mostly Chiron saw in the child, and the young man he became, boundless courage, athleticism, intelligence, and ambition. He saw too lots of words beginning with 'self', which gave him pause. Self-belief, self-possession, self-righteousness, self-confidence, self-love. Perhaps these characteristics are as necessary to a hero as courage."

In Heroes, Fry draws out the humor and pathos in both tender love affairs and heroic battles, and reveals each myth's relevance for our own time.

Another great Greek mythology book from Stephen Fry.
He brings the stories to life both with his excellent writing and his always engaging narration.

Heroes for the win

Really good book. Of course, Fry is the perfect narrator for his material. It is presented in a way that is much easier to understand and more engaging than lots of the classics. He mentions the violence perpetrated by the 'heroes' as a bit of human weakness, but I'm not sure I would be that lenient. The stories (whether complete myth or loosely based on real people) are of characters who did both great and terrible things and hero is more of broad category. (ie Heracles and his family...)

entertaining Greek myths

Like ‘Mythos’, this volume is entertaining, educational and wonderfully narrated by Fry. Even if one has a passing interest in myths, Fry’s two volumes will enhance that interest. Strongly recommended series.

Stephen Fry does it again.

Saw this on stage at the Shaw Festival. Was captivated by Mr Fry’s in depth knowledge of mythology and his delivery of material he knows so well. This audiobook is an extension of that passion and excellence!

I had never heard the full tales of hurcules before it was interesting to hear about the duplicity of his life such sorrow such achievements such is life. This book is was captivating. Sir Fry always weaves storys and his interpretation of them seamlessly into a epic tapestry. Thank you for the book i will look forward to hearing it again.
