Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The number one best seller.

An epic battle that lasted 10 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.

"Hugely successful, graceful." (The Times)

Took a while but it was well worth it!

I loved this 1 so much. perhaps its the best of 3 Greek myths books from Stephen. I can't say for sure, but what is certain that I will be listening to all 3 again as they are simply so refreshing!!

Almost as good as Homer's Illiad

Stephen Fry proved again, needlessly, that when it comes to Greek Mythology and the stories therein no one tells it better.

Great story and wonderful narration

Its been an great experience with Fry's Myths, Heroes and this one. Enjoyed every bit of story telling.

Some parts were unnessarily extended with a kind of boring dialogue. Otherwise an enjoyable listen.

Epic

Stephen Fry brings to life the characters and the interweaving plotlines of this timeless epic. While listening to Fry's narration you experience the emotions of the characters. When he describes the massacre of the Trojans, the carnage unleashed by Achilles after his friend's death you are teleported to the battlefield. This is a must listen for fans of mythology!

A Fantastic Depiction of a Great Tragedy

I have to say it was painful at times to hear about the unspeakable acts done in the Trojan War. I for my part am a supporter of Troy and all its tragedy since I have heard about the Iliad. But this book reinforced that idea in me. Humans are capable of the unspeakable cruelty and the greatest of tragedies. This book is a fine Example
