About the author
Stephen Fry is an English writer and performer whose work spans fiction, memoir, television, film, radio, and nonfiction. His long collaboration with Hugh Laurie included A Bit of Fry & Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster, while his books range from novels and autobiography to guides to poetry and classical myth.
Mythos, Heroes, Troy, and Odyssey form a sequence of retellings that organizes Greek myth into accessible narratives without removing its competing traditions, genealogies, cruelty, or comedy.
Where to start
Start with Mythos for the gods, Heroes for mortal quests, Troy for the war, and Odyssey for the homecoming. Read the four books in that order for the clearest sequence.
