Description
Enter the monstrous and magical world of Stephen Fry's Sunday Times best seller Heroes, brought to you by Penguin.
Shortlisted for the 2018 Specsavers audiobook award.
Imagine sandals on your feet, a sword in your hand and the hot sun beating down on your helmet. Enter the world of Stephen Fry's Sunday Times best seller, Heroes.
Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes.
In this companion to his best-selling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny, tragic and timeless tales.
Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece. See Atalanta - who was raised by bears - outrun any man before being tricked with golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx and discover how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help him slay the monster Chimera.
Filled with white-knuckle chases and battles, impossible puzzles and riddles, acts of base cowardice and real bravery, not to mention murders and selfless sacrifices, Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of - at our worst and our very best.
Commentaires
"A romp through the lives of ancient Greek gods. Fry is at his story-telling best...the gods will be pleased." (Times)
"Assured and engaging. The pace is lively, the jokes are genuinely funny." (Guardian)
"An Olympian feat. The gods seem to be smiling on Fry - his myths are definitely a hit." (Evening Standard)

La "suite" est aussi bien que "Mythos"...
Je connais toujours les histoires mais ça me rappelle mes lectures d'antan et c'est toujours aussi bien raconté. L'histoire de Persée est vraiment à pleurer de rire, les autres mythes ne sont pas aussi comiques mais il y a des touches d'humour de temps en temps (Oedipe et le Sphinx, par exemple). Bref, si jamais Stephen Fry pouvait continuer avec l'Iliade et l'Odyssée, ce serait fantastique !

Amazing as usual for Steven Fry's books
Although sometimes a little confusing because of unknown names etc, the story wins, and Stephen Fry is a renown narrator and brilliant actor, who always makes his characters real. Loved it. Just finished 2nd listening.

Excellent!
However many liberties Fry takes while retelling these legends they should be all forgiven because he has a GIFT OF STORYTELLING. Fry is an opposite of Holywood: he takes great, old, dust-covered stories and makes them shine. One listens to hundred times retold adventures of Hēraklês or Theseus as if they were just being revealed. Worth every minute spent.

Great story teller
Writing this book has surely implied a huge research work. On top of this, Stephen Fry is a fantastic story teller. We had the impression to live beside those heroes. I recommend this book without hesitation.

A Practically Perfect Book in Every Way
There are few greater joys than hearing an old and beloved story told again in a new and powerful way. Stephen Fry's writing and performance make these anciant and well known myths both fresh and exciting.
Even those I can recite by heart kept me wildly entertained.
A truly wonderful book and audiobook.

Wonderful
Truly enjoyable, both the story and the narration are perfect. This book goes deeper and more detailed into ancient Greek stories than any other book I've ever read. Surely recommend to anyone interested in Greek mythology.

Pure magic. Stephen Fry is transcendent.
Both the story and narrative are excellent! It was a very special experience to revisit the ancient Greek universe. I wish Stephen Fry could have been my history teacher. And English teacher. And art teacher. And... well, you get the idea

An engaging continuation of Mythos
This book's subject is the lives and deeds of Greek heroes. The narration is (as always) brilliant, and the plot is most engaging. Recommended to anyone struggling with original Greek sources on heroes but interested in Greek hero myths. The stories are spiced with humour and drama but remain faithful to the original. Fry sometimes offers insight into how different heroes reflected changes in Greek society over time.

An Exceptional Performance
Stephen Fry’s telling of the quests and sometimes unfortunate adventures of Greek Heroes and Demi-gods is unlike any other in the category. Whilst not a comprehensive collection of scholarly work, these tales are filled with a brilliant balance between wit, humour and mythology, as well as a perfect performance from Fry himself.

Greek mythology and Fry - a match made in Olympus
As with Mythos, this book also focuses on Greek mythology, but now it's all about the famed heroes, such as Theseus, Perseus and, of course, Herakles. You'll learn a great deal, and you'll do so in the company of Stephen Fry, who's storytelling skills and wit will keep you beautifully entertained. The man's a treasure, and so is his voice.

Brilliant
Absolutely loved every second. The narration by Stephen Fry is great, and the subject matter is of course amazing. As a long time lover of anything ancient or classical Greek, I found these collections of myths of Greek heroes vastly encapsulating. I’ll definitely recommend it to any fellow philhellene.

Another incredible book by Stephen Fry
For someone that is not an avid reader, these books are so fun to read(listen to). Love his first book, Mythos and excited for the third, Troy.
Stephen Fry helps guide those who prefer audiobooks through the story with all the details through his voice and narrative.

Helden: Monster und Sterbliche
Helden: Monster und Sterbliche, Questen und Abenteuer
Heroes ist das zweite Buch zur Klassische Mythologie von Stephen Fry. Das erste Teil hab ich geliebt und wann ich mitbekommen hab das es jetzt noch ein Teil gibt habe ich mich das sofort bei Audible das Hörbuch gekauft und das hat mich den schlaff letzte Nacht geraubt.
In dieses Buch geht es um die Klassischen Helden Bellerophon, Theseus, Heracles, Perseus , Jason, Atalanta, Orpheus und Ödipus die alle Sterbliche sind (Keine Götter wie so manch einer im ersten Teil) und treffen auf die Monster die diese bekämpfen: die Hydras, der Sphinx, Harpyien , Gorgons, und der Minotaur.
Beim ersten Teil hab ich Heracles/Hercules sehr vermisst, aber jetzt ist er dabei!
Seine Vorlesung ist wie immer sehr schön, aber ich habe mich auch schon vor Jahren in seine stimme (und ein bisschen in Ihm) verliebt, bin da also nicht Objektiv. Er ist manchmal Ernst, manchmal Gelehrsam ohne zu irritieren und auch ab und zu mal richtig Camp.
Das Ganze ist auch durchwachsen von Britischen Humor.
Was unser einer auch noch mal klar gemacht wird ist wo Marvel die Superhelden herhat.
Stephen Fry ist in Deutschland ziemlich unbekannt soweit mir bekannt, aber er ist weltberühmt in Groß Britannien als Komiker, Quizmaster, Schauspieler und als Schriftsteller. Er ist ein sehr beliebter Hörbuchvorleser, Seine Vorlesung von Harry Potter ist legendär und Hochgepriesen.
Das erste teil
[[ASIN:B077K1FYNY Mythos]]
Ich hab inzwischen Erfahren das noch ein Teil 3 in produktion ist, Troja.

Greek heroes didn't come from Maltby
Totally unlistenable to thanks to Fry, surprisingly, deciding to ham it up and ascribe British regional accents as his leitmotif attempt. Perseus sounds like a comedy sketch extra from Last Of The Summer Wine. Avoid at all costs.

Great Story & great narration
In this audiobook, you learn more about the life of Herakles, Bellerophon, Atalanta, Oedipus, and Jason (I hope I forgot nobody.)
Stephen Fry's narration lets you feel all the ups and highs the heroes are going through.
More than once I hoped for a different ending because the heroes had to endure so much to get there.
I like that Stephen Fry also shows some correlation to today's life and gives you something to think about.
For me, it was an audiobook I couldn't stop listening to.
There is just one thing I have to criticize: The chapters have no titles like in the audiobook Mythology. It would be great if the chapters would be at least named after the heroes.

Gripping trip to mythical times
Expectations were high after hearing "Mythos", but Stephen Fry managed again to keep my ear stuck to the audio book and never wanting to press the stop button. "His" stories are highly entertaining, instructive and gripping. They can be hilarious or terribly sad, depending on the plot. They're everything but boring and I am so grateful that Stephen Fry brought ancient myth down to us in such an easily abordable way. Stay on these roads, Mr. Fry, pleeease...

Educational entertainment
I use the information of this book and it's predecessor a lot in daily conversation. As he sais at the end, it's easier to remember entertaining myths than plain stories. He does a wonderful job of telling those myths very entertaining.
