Perfect for you if...

  • You loved Mythos but want more of Fry's voice guiding you through legendary tales, without needing to start fresh.
  • You're drawn to mythology retellings that balance reverence with humour, treating ancient stories as living narratives rather than dusty academic lessons.
  • You collect beautiful editions and want a coffee table book that's actually engaging to read, not just to look at.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer your Greek myths straight from classical sources without modern editorial personality getting in the way.
  • You're after a quick reference guide or scholarly deep-dive. This is a narrative romp, not a research tool.
  • You find Stephen Fry's particular brand of erudite wit exhausting rather than delightful.

About this book

This sequel to Mythos follows Stephen Fry's retellings of Greek myths centered on mortal heroes rather than the Olympian gods. The book covers the stories of Perseus, Jason, Atalanta, Theseus, and Heracles, drawing out both humor and pathos from their adventures and love affairs. Fry's distinctive narrative voice connects these ancient tales to modern sensibilities and concerns. The volume is illustrated throughout with classical art inspired by the myths. It is designed to appeal both to those already familiar with Greek mythology and to newcomers encountering these stories for the first time. This collector's edition features a foil-stamped jacket and is presented as a gift-appropriate volume for readers interested in mythology, history, ancient Greece, and classical art.
