Heroes

Few mortals have embarked on daring and heart-rending adventures as stylishly and triumphantly as the Greek heroes. Stephen Fry tells their dramatic, funny and tragic, and above all timeless stories with the same brilliance and unmistakable charm and wit as in his previous book, Myths. Step aboard the Argo with Iásón and follow the Golden Fleece, Watch, how wisely Oedipus solves the riddle of the Sphinx, marvel at that, how Herakles will cope with difficult tasks, admire the invincible Atalanta, raised by bears, witness immortal stories, that have been the inspiration of all subsequent ages.
