Can a hero find his way home? The most famous heroic story of all time, Odysseus is full of monsters, murders, storms, gods, giants, cleverness, and wisdom – and the most intelligent hero of all: Odysseus. Fry's captivating book series gives these ancient myths modern significance, while his witty sense of humor and natural storytelling talent ensure a very enjoyable read.

Troy has fallen – and the victorious Greeks are returning home. The hero Odysseus, as he sets sail, dreams of finding the love of his life, Penelope, and teaching his son, Telemachus, the arts of war. However, the gods play with mortals' desires. Poseidon, the god of the sea realms, angered by the arrogance of this rebel, has cursed the hero to wander the sea for ten whole years.

Encountering one-eyed giants, six-headed monsters, terrible storms, titanic whirlpools, hypnotic Sirens, enchanting witches, and jealous goddesses, Odysseus is tested and tormented beyond all endurance. Yet, he is not merely a mortal – the pull of his wife and son leads him, step by step, closer to his return and his destiny.

A story of love and longing, return and redemption, home and hope, Stephen Fry's Odyssey weaves the last enchanting threads of the tapestry begun in the worldwide bestseller, Myths. It is a story for all ages – and for all ages.

The Odyssey completes his GREEK MYTH series in a wonderful way. Fry, a born storyteller, once again manages to make ancient stories accessible. His series has garnered recognition and praise for excellent storytelling and warm humor.
