'An inimitable retelling of the siege of Troy . . . Fry's narrative, artfully humorous and rich in detail, breathes life and contemporary relevance into these ancient tales'
-- Observer

THE #1 BESTSELLER.

AN EPIC BATTLE THAT LASTED TEN YEARS. A LEGENDARY STORY THAT HAS SURVIVED THOUSANDS.

'Troy. The most marvellous kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean. Glittering Ilion, the city that rose and fell not once but twice . . .'

When Helen, the beautiful Greek queen, is kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris, the most legendary war of all time begins.

Listen in awe as a thousand ships are launched against the great city of Troy.

Feel the fury of the battleground as the Trojans stand resolutely against Greek might for an entire decade.

And witness the epic climax - the wooden horse, delivered to the city of Troy in a masterclass of deception by the Greeks . . .

In Stephen Fry's exceptional retelling of our greatest story, TROY will transport you to the depths of ancient Greece and beyond.

If you're enthralled by the magic of Greek mythology you'll love the final instalment to Fry’s retellings, ODYSSEY, a legendary voyage of peril, temptation, loss and epic adventure.

'A fun romp through the world's greatest story. Fry's knowledge of the world - ancient and modern - bursts through' Daily Telegraph

'Hugely successful, graceful' The Times

'Fluent, crisp, nuanced, begins with a bang' The Times Literary Supplement

When an immortal such as Fry takes the trouble to write and furthermore the trouble to narrate, the is mortals can do is sit our arses down and listen to the God. :)

i have listened to stephen fry's narration of sherlock holmes, his harry potter series and the previous entries of thi series as well, namely, "mythos" and "heroes".
so i expected a lot getting into this, and it was delivered. you dpnt need to have read the previous titles to understand this though. he has done a bang up job of giving life to these celebrated characters and he justifies the words he has chosen for them to speak.

one of his best works in my view. definitely listen to this if you have any interest at all in greek mythology and stories of the great achilles, odysseus, or the city of troy.

my only wish being if he had made it a bit longer, i loved it

Stephen Fry has done an amazing job again.
