Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring adventures,
overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful gods, quite as
stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes. In this companion to his bestselling
Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny, tragic and
timeless tales. Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece.
See Atalanta ? who was raised by bears ? outrun any man before being tricked
with golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx and
discover how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help him slay the
monster Chimera. Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of ?
at our worst and our very best.
