WHEN GODS TURN VENGEFUL, ONLY THE BRAVE CAN DEFY FATE AND FIND THEIR WAY HOME

Discover Stephen Fry's epic re-telling of the Odyssey for the 21st century

After the fall of Troy, wily Odysseus, King of Ithaca, sails for home and his steadfast queen Penelope.

However, the angry gods curse him to wander the seas for ten long years. Tormented by giants and monsters, tempted by witches and goddesses, Odysseus battles to draw ever closer to home.

Awaiting him is Penelope, defying reports of his death. But this queen endures her own tormentors – an army of young suitors eager to claim her hand and the throne . . .

Critic reviews

Odyssey completes his Greek Myths series in marvellous fashion. . . Fry, a born storyteller, succeeds again in making the ancient stories accessible, gently modernising the language and dotting his journey with explanatory and often amusing footnotes

Relatable and full of humour . . . Odyssey brings [the] four-book sequence satisfyingly to a close

Outstandingly entertaining quartet of books . . . Fry breathes contemporary relevance into these ancient tales. As with his previous titles, he combines scholarly research with a lightness of touch, and his wry sense of humour and natural gift for storytelling make for a highly engaging read

A sweeping, engrossing story

Imaginative

The familiar narrative bounds along in a chatty style, coloured with mildly revisionist insights into the characters

Accessible storytelling and Fry brings warmth, exuberance and humour. Hard to beat

A romp through the lives of ancient Greek gods. Fry is at his story-telling best . . . the gods will be pleased

A head-spinning marathon of legends

An odyssey through Greek mythology. Brilliant - all hail Stephen Fry

Most relevant

So entertaining, full of facts, the root of words, new insights into famous characters, real or mythical all delivered in Stephen's gorgeous, inviting and invigorating style, full of emotions, knowledge, authority but also with humour, wit and a nod to very modern concepts that show these stories are every bit as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.
