Description

The legendary Stephen Fry breathes new life into the adventures of Odysseus for the fourth and final installment in his internationally bestselling Greek Myths series.
 



Odysseus’s journey from the battlefields of Troy to his home in Ithaca is one of the greatest stories ever told. From the lotus-eaters to the sirens, from Circe to the Cyclops, this is a tale of thrilling adventures, cunning escapes, and enduring devotion. Stephen Fry brings a thrilling refresh to the complex ancient poem with humor, pathos, and a rich love of the original tale. Illustrated throughout with classical art inspired by the myths, this gorgeous volume invites you to explore a captivating world with a brilliant storyteller as your guide.

With clear language and easy-to-follow references, this retelling offers a fresh and approachable way for new readers and longtime fans alike to experience this classic tale.



BELOVED AUTHOR: Stephen Fry is an icon whose signature wit and mellifluous style make this retelling utterly unique. This is a perfect entry point—fans will love hearing his interpretation, whether they are familiar with the original myths or not.

TIMELESS STORIES: For fans of Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster film, The Odyssey, as well as bestselling books such as Madeline Miller’s Circe or Song of Achilles, Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology, or Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls, this is the ideal next great read. These ancient tales never get old.

POPULAR SERIES: The previous books that comprise Stephen Fry's Greek Myths—Mythos, Heroes, and Troy—have been international bestsellers, praised for their engaging and nuanced retellings. Now fans can finally read Fry's take on The Odyssey.

GORGEOUS GIFT: With a vibrant contemporary design, full-color artwork throughout, and shimmering metallic highlights on the jacket, this book makes a superb present.
