Summary

WHEN GODS TURN VENGEFUL, ONLY THE BRAVE CAN DEFY FATE AND FIND THEIR WAY HOME

Discover Stephen Fry's epic re-telling of the Odyssey for the 21st century

After the fall of Troy, wily Odysseus, King of Ithaca, sails for home and his steadfast queen Penelope.

However, the angry gods curse him to wander the seas for ten long years. Tormented by giants and monsters, tempted by witches and goddesses, Odysseus battles to draw ever closer to home.

Awaiting him is Penelope, defying reports of his death. But this queen endures her own tormentors – an army of young suitors eager to claim her hand and the throne . . .

Reviews

Odyssey completes his Greek Myths series in marvellous fashion. . . Fry, a born storyteller, succeeds again in making the ancient stories accessible, gently modernising the language and dotting his journey with explanatory and often amusing footnotes
Relatable and full of humour . . . Odyssey brings [the] four-book sequence satisfyingly to a close
Outstandingly entertaining quartet of books . . . Fry breathes contemporary relevance into these ancient tales. As with his previous titles, he combines scholarly research with a lightness of touch, and his wry sense of humour and natural gift for storytelling make for a highly engaging read
A sweeping, engrossing story
Imaginative
The familiar narrative bounds along in a chatty style, coloured with mildly revisionist insights into the characters
Accessible storytelling and Fry brings warmth, exuberance and humour. Hard to beat
A romp through the lives of ancient Greek gods. Fry is at his story-telling best . . . the gods will be pleased
A head-spinning marathon of legends
An odyssey through Greek mythology. Brilliant - all hail Stephen Fry

The Author’s talent gives this story its whole dimension. The entire set of Greek history, written and red by Stephen Fry is a wonderful way to discover the legendary story of the Greek heroes.

Stephen Fry is an amazing story teller and it’s simply addictive to listen to his voice.

Amazing story telling and voice

Very entertaining, funny and witty, and what a voice. As good as the three others of the Mythos series.

Another gorgeous Stephen Fry

As were the other three books, this conclusion is amazing. Stephen Fry's wondrous voice takes us on Ulysses' voyage home and we're sad to finish this book as it was such brilliant smart entertaining fun. Thank you Mr Fry.

Excellent
