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

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.

Stephen Fry's Aristeia
You don't need to read any reviews of Stephen Fry's books. Just get this book, you won't be disappointed. I loved it. It was just as amazing as Mythos and Heroes were.
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?

Stephen Fry has done an amazing job again.
i have listened to stephen fry's narration of sherlock holmes, his harry potter series and the previous entries of thi series as well, namely, "mythos" and "heroes".
so i expected a lot getting into this, and it was delivered. you dpnt need to have read the previous titles to understand this though. he has done a bang up job of giving life to these celebrated characters and he justifies the words he has chosen for them to speak.
one of his best works in my view. definitely listen to this if you have any interest at all in greek mythology and stories of the great achilles, odysseus, or the city of troy.
my only wish being if he had made it a bit longer, i loved it

What an incredible story
This Homar’s myth or reality is brought to life by Stephan Fry who describes in great detail the magical story of Helen of Troy, her love, her abduction and her return to Sparta. In the intervening, the story is interlaced with such twists and turns that one just can’t put down the story. The narration is par excellence which keeps the reader glued from word to word. Thank you Audible
