Description
Greek heroes have long been renowned for their bold and heart-stirring adventures. In this retelling, Stephen Fry brings these dramatic tales to life with style and triumph. Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece, Atalanta's remarkable journey from being raised by bears to outrunning any man, Oedipus's solution to the riddle of the Sphinx, and Bellerophon's capture of the winged horse Pegasus are just a few of the stories that make up this collection. Through these tales, Fry explores what it means to be human - at our worst and at our very best.
