About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'An inimitable retelling of the siege of Troy . . . Fry's narrative, artfully humorous and rich in detail, breathes life and contemporary relevance into these ancient tales'
-- Observer

THE #1 BESTSELLER.

AN EPIC BATTLE THAT LASTED TEN YEARS. A LEGENDARY STORY THAT HAS SURVIVED THOUSANDS.

'Troy. The most marvellous kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean. Glittering Ilion, the city that rose and fell not once but twice . . .'

When Helen, the beautiful Greek queen, is kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris, the most legendary war of all time begins.

Listen in awe as a thousand ships are launched against the great city of Troy.

Feel the fury of the battleground as the Trojans stand resolutely against Greek might for an entire decade.

And witness the epic climax - the wooden horse, delivered to the city of Troy in a masterclass of deception by the Greeks . . .

In Stephen Fry's exceptional retelling of our greatest story, TROY will transport you to the depths of ancient Greece and beyond.

If you're enthralled by the magic of Greek mythology you'll love the final instalment to Fry’s retellings, ODYSSEY, a legendary voyage of peril, temptation, loss and epic adventure.

'A fun romp through the world's greatest story. Fry's knowledge of the world - ancient and modern - bursts through' Daily Telegraph

'Hugely successful, graceful' The Times

'Fluent, crisp, nuanced, begins with a bang' The Times Literary Supplement

I have listened to all 3 books in this series one after another and I am in awe of the level of detail included in them all. The information portrayed in a manner that only Stephen Fry could give is second to none. I’m sure I will have missed some entertainment facts that will require me at some time, to revisit them, a time which I am looking forward to. All I can say is that they are all a every worthwhile read, but as audible, extraordinary, enjoy.

the gods they made Helen of troy a beauty unmatched as sure as this was a fact in this story but the fact Fry is a storyteller beyond all others is also possibly the most significant take away from this wonderful retelling

Stephen fry is a master story teller

Love this story, much better than a film adaptation could deliver. I was really looking forward to learn of Achilles but ended up enjoying the story of Oysseus more. well written and looking forward to more.

Fantastic

so interesting. stephen advises that you can listen without listening to the other two first and you definitely can do. troy Is a story of it's own but personally I'm glad I'd listened to heroes first. great listen, he animates the characters in his own way. the story itself is interesting if you havent heard it before. honestly a cracking listen. I finished it in 3 days!

loved it

Loved every moment. A beautiful rendition that brings the stories and characters of Greek Mythology to life. Excellently and lovingly read by the author. My only complaint is that it's finished.

Amazing!

This is the third book in Fry's myth series, following Mythos and Heroes, and once again it is an absolute pleasure to listen to. It's funny, tragic, dramatic, intricate, interesting... and all brilliantly read (of course).

So entertaining
