Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

A
Sunday Times bestseller

The next book in Stephen Fry's acclaimed internationally bestselling Greek myths series telling the story of The Odyssey.


Sometimes the hardest journey is the way back home . . .

Wily Odysseus, King of Ithaca, has won Troy for the Greeks – after a decade of brutal, bloody warfare. But now this warrior remembers he is a husband and father – and his gaze turns longingly towards home.

Setting sail with a small fleet, Odysseus dreams of soon lying in the arms of his beloved wife Penelope, and of teaching his son Telemachus the ways of a warrior. However, the gods laugh at the foolish hopes of mortals. And, angered by this upstart, Poseidon – God of the ocean realms – curses our hero to wander the seas for ten long years.

Encountering one-eyed giants, six-headed monsters, terrible storms, titanic whirlpools, hypnotic sirens, seductive witches and jealous goddesses, Odysseus is tempted and tormented beyond any man’s endurance.

Yet he is no mere mortal – and the lure of his wife and son draws him, step by step, stroke by stroke, ever closer to home and his ultimate destiny . . .

A tale of love and longing, return and redemption, home and hope, Stephen Fry’s Odyssey sees the author and national treasure weave the final threads of the fabulous story begun in the worldwide bestseller, Mythos, into an astonishing and mesmerising tapestry for the ages.

'With his distinctive narration, Fry brings warmth, exuberance and humour to these age-old stories, along with a range of voices...' The Guardian

'Fry is at his story-telling best . . . the gods will be pleased' Times

'Brilliant . . . all hail Stephen Fry' Daily Mail

Great retelling of a timeless classic. Stephen brings people and characters alive. Great scholarship as well. One marvels at the incandescent talent of the man.

The narration.

I love everything from Stephen Fry. His voice is exquisite and melds well with his languid writing to create an experience like Ambrosia to someone who loves Greek mythology as much as I do.
