One of the most imaginative minds alive retells the greatest stories in history the Greek Myths.

The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney.

They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. You'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.

Spellbinding, informative and moving, Stephen Fry's Mythos perfectly captures these stories for the modern age in all their rich and deeply human relevance.

As with evrything Fry this audio book is fantastic. It provodes a great alternative to commercial radio, particularly when we’re out in ghe bush.

I always wanted a book of Greek legends and now I have one but with the added bonus of the intelligence and wit of the author (and biscuits).
