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.

The book is charming, entertaining and a good read

Stephen Fry's peformance and reading of this book is charming in the way he portrays both the gods and the humans in these myths.

Marvellous.

Stephen Fry is a treasure of our age and a titan of a storyteller. Moreover, he seems to be the kindest, loveliest, best kind of human. May the gods shine on you for eternity, Mr Fry.

wonderful!

Stephen Fry is an fantastic narrator and the stories are wonderfully written! Listen to it!

Great but limited by its subject

Great overal. Solid 4 stars. But after a while I noticed that the content didn't speak to me. Halfway through, the Greek myths seemed to lose any connection to me personally.

Brilliant

Humorous, Informative, Stephen Fry is a superb author & really brings his story to life.

Great.

Well written and read with all the humour and enthusiasm of the author. Informative and entertaining.

Perfect in every way.

The Greek mythology proves itself immortal and ever relevant. Stephen Fry's story telling and narrating is sheer delight. If I hadn't known any better, I'd say that Apollo couldn't have done this better himself.

A delight

Fry is wonderfully funny, he treats the characters with as much care and sarcasm as though they were great friends (even if some are less than savory). He has a very good grasp of mythology and retells the stories like a big old gossip, it’s informative but overall entertaining.

10/10

A wonderful experience

Stephen Fry has written a fantastic lens to view the Greek myths. By laying out the timeline and injecting humour and humanity - these stories leapt to life in my imagination.
