Stephen Fry’s signature wit and humor breathe new life into the ancient classic, making Odyssey not only a compelling read but also a profound exploration of human resilience, wisdom, and the yearning for home. Fry's deep understanding of Greek mythology, coupled with his engaging narrative style, provides readers with a rich and layered reading experience. The book serves as a follow-up to Fry’s previous bestselling works, Mythos and Heroes, continuing his exploration of Greek mythology. Perfect for readers who enjoy mythology, epic adventure, and Stephen Fry’s witty storytelling, Odyssey is a must-read for fans of classical literature, history, and adventure.
