Heroes, the Greek Myths Reimagined

Heroes, the Greek Myths Reimagined by Stephen Fry is the second in a four-book set. I raved about the first book, Mythos, and I’m obviously not alone in my appreciate for Fry’s work. There had been a 14-week wait for access to that audiobook on the Libby app. While Mythos covers the whole beginning of the Greek mythologies, Heroes is a wonderful follow-up as Fry covers the stories of Perseus, Jason, Atalanta, Theseus, and Heracles (and more). While these stories have been told and retold for so long, Fry’s audiobook is done with the grandeur that such heroes deserve. He makes the stories seem bold and new. It’s where so many of our modern heroic acts were really told for the first time. I’m in love with this work, and now I’m waiting for my app Libby to bring me the third book, The Odyssey which I’ve read countless times. The Odyssey is perhaps, my favorite story, my favorite novel of all.
