Envision the warmth of the sun on your helmet, a sword clasped in your grasp, and sandals gracing your feet. Step into the universe of Stephen Fry's acclaimed book, Heroes.
Rarely have ordinary beings embarked on such grand endeavors, navigated treacherous threats, or outsmarted the cunning plans of resentful deities as the Greek heroes did, and with such flair.
In this successor to his popular Mythos, Stephen Fry masterfully brings to life these poignant, humorous, tragic, and eternal narratives.
Accompany Jason on the Argo in his pursuit of the coveted Golden Fleece. Observe Atalanta, nurtured by bears, outracing all men, only to be deceived by shimmering apples. Watch the clever Oedipus decode the Sphinx's enigma and see Bellerophon tame the winged steed Pegasus to vanquish the fearsome Chimera.
Packed with edge-of-the-seat pursuits and confrontations, intricate puzzles, moments of sheer courage and trepidation, alongside acts of heinous treachery and noble sacrifice, Heroes depicts the spectrum of human potential - from our darkest lows to our towering highs.
Stephen Fry’s audiobooks of his Greek legend epics Mythos, Heroes and Troy are like having warm honey poured into your ears (but in a nice way). You don’t even need to follow the story.
