Product Description
by Stephen Fry (Author)
The kidnapping of the beautiful Greek queen Helen by the Trojan prince Paris triggers a war between the two people. The Greeks send their fleet and besiege the city of Troy. The conflict will last ten years, and will cause much suffering and many deaths. Heroes like the courageous Achilles or the cunning Odysseus and gods like Zeus himself will intervene. Who better than Stephen Fry to tell this ancient story with modern words and looks? The author and actor, who in his previous Mythos and Heroes already delighted us with his reviews of Greek mythology, returns to the charge in top form. This is a story that has it all: heroism, revenge, love, ideals, brutality, betrayal, despair, extreme violence, pain, hope, and more.
