Penguin presents the CD edition of Heroes written and read by
Stephen Fry. Mortals and Monsters. Quests and Adventures . . .
__________ There are Heroes - and then there are Greek 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 bestselling 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.
___________ 'Ebullient and funny' The Times 'Entertaining and
edifying' Daily Telegraph 'A rollicking good read' Independent 'Fry
exhibits enormous erudition and enthusiasm' Mail on Sunday 'The
Greek gods of the past become relatable as pop culture, modern
literature and music are woven throughout. Joyfully informal yet
full of the literary legacy' Guardian
