There are Heroes - and then there are Greek Heroes.



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.



Filled with white-knuckle chases and battles, impossible puzzles and riddles,

acts of base cowardice and real bravery, not to mention murders and selfless

sacrifices, Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of - at

our worst and our very best.
