Heroes: The myths of the Ancient Greek heroes retold (Stephen Fry’s Greek Myths, 2)

Product Information

Fry takes us through stories of a small handful of heroes, but the number of other names he throws at the reader is massive. I think it’s important not to try and remember all of these characters. To try and do so would spoil the fun, you will get the ‘gist’ of the story by just reading through them – and in time, you’ll remember more than you think you have. My memory is really crappy – and I did it!!

Heroes by Stephen Fry is a book I had to listen to. Fry’s narration is wonderful - perfect pronunciation, timbre, pace, drama for effect, and of course, he's bloody funny. I really recommend listening to this if you can – it is terrific. All-star lineup celebrate Noël Coward's West End centenary". The Guardian . Retrieved 4 September 2022.

It’s so rich and wonderful and I really do love reading about it, but it needs detail. Stephen Fry has attempted to make Ancient Greek heroes accessible to readers unfamiliar with them, though all the stories are very, very, brief and it’s their downfall.A wonderful follow up to Mythos, which became an immediate favourite of mine. I was certain to get this book given how much I enjoyed it predecessor, but I was thrilled to see the cover featured an image of Pegasus! While I have many favourite figures of Greek Mythology, I think Pegasus is the one I love most. So, even before I opened the book, it was off to an excellent start.
