Heroes: The Greek Myths Reimagined (Stephen Fry's Greek Myths Book 2)

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.
