About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin
‘The Greek myths are told to you here by the ever-soothing voice of Stephen Fry, who takes you from Zeus to Athena with his typical humour.’ -- The Guardian
‘Read by Fry with his accustomed ebullient showmanship [he] gives the legends modern resonance by telling them with a contemporary colloquial twist' -- AUDIOBOOK of the WEEK, The Times
STEP INTO ANOTHER WORLD - OF MAGIC, MAYHEM, MONSTERS AND MANIACAL GODS - IN STEPHEN FRY'S MOMENTOUS SUNDAY TIMES AND AUDIBLE BESTSELLER, MYTHOS
Discover Stephen Fry's magnificent retelling of the greatest myths and legends ever told . . .
No one loves and quarrels, desires and deceives as boldly or brilliantly as Greek gods and goddesses.
In Stephen Fry's vivid retelling, we gaze in wonder as wise Athena is born from the cracking open of the great head of Zeus and follow doomed Persephone into the dark and lonely realm of the Underworld.
Shiver in fear when Pandora opens her jar of evil torments.
Listen with joy as the legendary love affair between Eros and Psyche unfolds.
Read by Stephen Fry himself, Mythos captures these extraordinary myths for our modern age - in all their dazzling and deeply human relevance.
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.
Editorial Reviews
From beloved author and commentator Stephen Fry comes a deep and riveting exploration of some of the greatest myths ever told. In Mythos, Fry recounts some of the most compelling stories in mythology — from classic favourites to lesser known myths they definitely didn’t cover in your childhood classroom.
It’s no secret that Stephen Fry is a masterful storyteller: he’s one of the most well-known and beloved writers, actors, comedians and presenters of our time. He takes the performance skills he honed on programs like Fry and Laurie and the authorial chops he mastered writing gems including The Stars' Tennis Balls, Making History, The Hippopotamus, and The Liar to craft this educational, entertaining and electrifying work that makes ancient tales more relevant and exciting than ever.

Brilliant thanks to Stephen Fry
Interesting mythology made immeasurably better for the narration and tongue in cheek guile of Stephen Fry.

A wonderful intro to mythology for beginners
Loved it. I normally love Fry's writing as well as his voice n narrative style. Being someone who had never read much of greek mythology before, this book proved to be a great entry point into the whimsical, eccentric yet delightful world of greek myths.. It's an enjoyable listen. I don't know how someone with a good background knowledge of mythology would respond to it though.

What an epic experience
Terrific storytelling and narration. Written stupendously well, with subtle usage of humour and modern relevance in retelling the Greek myths. Helps considerably that the narrator, Stephen Fry, is also the author. There's that added gravitas and intensity to the narration.

Myth Retold
Book is a nice collection of Greek myths which gives a description of myths rather than going into meaning of the myth ... Stephen Fry has narrated the audiobook exceptionally well . Sure to go through other audiobook narrated by him

Stephen Fry is amazing!
The booming voice of Stephen Fry keeps you perked up, as he navigates through the stories effortlessly. He modulates his voice to create different characters and keeps you hooked! I'm not sure if I would have had the patience to read this book, but I sure enjoyed every minute of the Audible experience! My bet is on Mr. Fry! ❤️
