About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
‘Here, indeed, be monsters, myriad adventures and machinating gods. Fry is a personable and passionate narrator’ -- Mail on Sunday
'A romp through the lives of ancient Greek gods. Fry is at his story-telling best . . . the gods will be pleased' -- Times
Shortlisted for the 2018 Specsavers Audiobook of the Year award.
IMAGINE SANDALS ON YOUR FEET, A SWORD IN YOUR HAND, HOT SUN BEATING DOWN ON YOUR BRONZE HELMET. ENTER THE WORLD OF STEPHEN FRY'S SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, HEROES
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.
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.
'An odyssey through Greek mythology. Brilliant . . . all hail Stephen Fry' Daily Mail
'Assured and engaging. The pace is lively, the jokes are genuinely funny' Guardian
'An Olympian feat. The gods seem to be smiling on Fry - his myths are definitely a hit' Evening Standard
'Just as delightful and difficult to put down as the first. Heroes makes the stories relatable without skimping on the gory details, or sacrificing the truths of the myth. It's rich, it's funny and you'll feel like you've learned a lot' Herald

Took the story to another level!
How Stephen Fry managed to make all the Greek heroes seem like real people is something I've been puzzling over since I listened to this audiobook!

Greek heroes deserve this book
Stephen fry really did a great job on this book despite the fact that to many he isn't an author as much an actor. Greek mythology with all the complicated relationships between God ,Demi God and mortals is explained in a meaningful and well researched way. Glad I read it.

Better than Mythos!
I loved this book! Stephen Fry has done an amazing job, not just with the writing, but with the narration as well!
He is such a great storyteller. Another thing that I found enjoyable in this book is how Stephen Fry spiced the book with so many small facts and tit bits of information about these stories. I kept looking at the world map, whenever he mentioned seas and cities that I hadn't heard of before. I have to say, this book has improved my geography as well. Now I know why the agean sea is called the agean, why the Atlas mountains are called that and much more...
An extremely enjoyable listen. I can't wait to get my hands on the third book!

Stephen Fry and greek Mythology !!!
Brilliantly narrated as usual. Captivating from beginning to end. A perfect continuation from mythos. My only regret is that there's just 1 book
