In this brilliant conclusion to his best-selling Mythos trilogy, legendary author and actor Stephen Fry retells the tale of the Trojan War. Full of tragic heroes, intoxicating love stories, and the unstoppable force of fate, there is no conflict more iconic than the Trojan War.
Troy is the story of the epic battle retold by Fry with drama, humor, and vivid emotion. Achilles, Hector, Odysseus, Helen, their lovers, and their mortal enemies all burn bright in Fry's compelling prose. This volume invites you to explore a captivating world with a brilliant storyteller as your guide.
Fans will love hearing his interpretation, whether they are familiar with the original Greek myths or not. These ancient tales never get old.
Now fans can listen to the thrilling third book. That is not to knock either story! Both books are two of the freshest, most thoughtful, and well-written takes on The Trojan War in my lifetime.
I cannot recommend them enough. However, there was always going to be a problem of accessibility to general readers. The more you knew of Greek mythology and The Trojan War the more rewarding they were. Whether you were a practiced mythology junkie like me or a totally uninitiated reader dipping their toe into the world of Titans and Olympians for the first time, you would undoubtedly find something to enjoy and appreciate. Fry was unceasingly thoughtful, wry, and always had a way of making these stories relevant to the modern reader.
This is the story of The Trojan War after all. They fought too. There is a particularly poignant line from Apollo that illustrates this point perfectly. After the sacking of Troy and wholesale slaughter of its inhabitants including infants Hermes makes a thoughtless jape.
This is not it. I was anxiously waiting to listen to this audiobook as I had just recently discovered the first two books of this series. Be sure to listen to the appendices also. Fry is fun to listen to and weaves the material together skillfully. All 3 are long but well worth your time. From a PhD in Classics. Stephen Fry does it again.
I loved Mythos. I loved Heroes. And I loved Troy. Fry does such an excellent job both writing and telling these stories, I can't wait for his take on the Odessey, my favorite of the two Homer epics! A superb recounting, with touches of Fry's famous humor, of the whole Trojan War era encapsulating its players, episodes, variations, causes, effects and importance to literary and Western culture.
I hope he will continue this. Thank you Mr. Steven Fry's performance ever since his first book has always been a lark. The Iliad for me was always one of those stories that you could sit down and read about end to end and still have it make to sense or get lost in the weeds. But the single-minded performance of Stephen here sells the story to me.
Gripping me in every turn. I hope Stephen finds it in him to do the Odyssey. Fantastic, and wonderful in every way. I feel lucky to have been able to receive these stories via the Mythos trilogy. The narrator was superb. I really enjoyed the interspersed commentary and humor. Well worth the listen. Downloading Ebooks and Textbooks. Get it in epub, pdf , azw, mob, doc format.

Moby-Dick is the great American novel. But it is also the great unread American novel. Sprawling, magnificent, deliriously digressive, it stands over and above all other works of fiction, since it is barely a work of fiction itself. Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is.
