About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
'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

Critic Reviews
Fry's language and narration were really incredible, I found myself rewinding and relistening to so many parts of the book just because of how beautifully they were written.
I really hope he continues this series. Maybe the Odyssey next?

I have to admit that I had never read The Iliad before. In fact I had been meaning to read it since decades now but never got around doing that. My first brush with Troy was the movie by Wolfgang Peterson. Next came the Netflix series. Both which seemed so different. It is only after reading (rather listening) to this book that I have come to know of the story as close as possible to the original.
The author has done a splendid job in smoothening the various complications of the versions. I have not read to many versions of this tale but I'd recommend this one to start off.
What a retelling
