Troy

The Greek Myths Reimagined

By: Stephen Fry

Narrated by: Stephen Fry

In this brilliant conclusion to his bestselling Mythos trilogy, legendary author and actor Stephen Fry retells the tale of the Trojan War.

Full of tragic heroes, intoxicating love stories, and the unstoppable force of fate, there is no conflict more iconic than the Trojan War. Troy is the story of the epic battle retold by Fry with drama, humor, and vivid emotion. Achilles, Hector, Odysseus, Helen, their lovers, and their mortal enemies all burn bright in Fry's compelling prose. Illustrated throughout with classical art inspired by the myths, this gorgeous volume invites you to explore a captivating world with a brilliant storyteller as your guide.

• BELOVED AUTHOR: Stephen Fry is an icon whose signature wit and mellifluous style makes this retelling utterly unique. Fans will love hearing his interpretation, whether they are familiar with the original Greek myths or not.
• TIMELESS STORIES: For fans of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, Madeline Miller's Circe or Song of Achilles, or Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls, this is the perfect next great read. These ancient tales never get old.
• STUNNING SERIES CONCLUSION: Mythos and Heroes, the first two installments in the trilogy, were international bestsellers. Now fans can read the thrilling third book.

Not sure what to do now

I love this series so much. Probably the quickest I have poured through a series in my life. I regret that a bit now. Mr. Fry’s voice is so soothing and engaging it was just very hard to stop. I wish he would now tell the story of Odysseus. Hint. Hint. ;)

Simply Amazing

Simply Amazing. I could likely listen to Stephen Fry read a dictionary and be satisfied. Listening to him retell the Greek myths that I have heard, seen, and read all of my life is simply amazing. Once again Stephen Fry brings his own humor in both the writing and the narration of this work. If you enjoyed either of the first two books in this series, then this is a worthy choice.

So good!!!

These books are my all time favorite audiobooks! The author does a fantastic job with the story and narration! He makes Greek mythology understandable and easy/fun to follow! You won’t be disappointed!

Enjoyed Stephen Fry in general. Biased rating

#1 'Troy' was quite enjoyable, and hearing it allowed me to revisit my high school brain, as that was really the last time I "studied" Greek/Latin -- in quotes for a reason.

If I am able to listen to the tale and be emotionally moved enough (in this case, to travel back in time), then it is a reflection of how good the narrator was. I have had to return audiobooks even though it is a great read but too painful to hear.

#2 Biased rating because... I also enjoyed his first two books.
While waiting for this book to come out, I keep my impatient self happy by downloading all things "stephen fry."
I even swallowed my disdain** for Winnie the Pooh and found myself loving the story and the Bear (I can't, no, no I CAN believe I cried at the end).

**BC Disney's Winnie was annoying.

Happy listening!

Stunning!

The third book in the Mythos trilogy, Stephen Fry's Troy continues the standard of delightful, relatable, and entertaining storytelling of the first two installments. Fry's narration is, as always, superb. My sincere thanks to him for bringing this epic tale to life once again.
