READ THE FINAL BOOK IN STEPHEN FRY'S ACCLAIMED INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING GREEK MYTHS SERIES TELLING THE STORY OF THE ODYSSEY

CAN A HERO FIND HIS WAY HOME?

The most famous heroic story of all time, Odyssey is chock full of monsters, murder, maelstroms, gods, giants, wit, wisdom - and the most cunning hero of them all: Odysseus

'Outstandingly entertaining quartet of books . . . Fry breathes contemporary relevance into these ancient tales . . . His wry sense of humour and natural gift for storytelling make for a highly engaging read' Observer

----

Setting sail, hero Odysseus dreams of lying in the arms of his beloved wife Penelope, and of teaching his son Telemachus a warrior's ways. However, gods toy with the desires of little mortals. Angered by this upstart's presumption, Poseidon - God of the ocean realms - curses our hero to wander the seas for ten long years.

Encountering one-eyed giants, six-headed monsters, terrible storms, titanic whirlpools, hypnotic sirens, seductive witches and jealous goddesses, Odysseus is tempted and tormented beyond any man's endurance.

Yet he is no mere mortal - and the lure of his wife and son draws him, step by step, stroke by stroke, ever closer to home and his destiny . . .

A tale of love and longing, return and redemption, home and hope, Stephen Fry's Odyssey sees the author and national treasure weave together the final fabulous threads of the tapestry begun in worldwide bestseller, Mythos. It is a story for the ages - and all ages.
