Greek myths told like never before: like an exciting fantasy novel.

Here are Greek myths as we have never seen them until now. As if it were a Hollywood blockbuster; from a television series in the style of Game of Thrones; from an epic-fantastic narrative by J. R. R. Tolkien. And Stephen Fry – a Renaissance spirit who both acts and presents television programs and writes books – approaches Greek mythology with passion and without giving up rigor, and tells us about the ups and downs of his characters as in the most exciting of novels. . And so, we will witness the appearance of the primal Chaos and the birth of Athena, who emerges from the head of Zeus; We will be overwhelmed as we witness how Cronus castrates and dethrones his father; We will tremble when we come across Pandora ready to uncover the fearsome jar; We will hold our breath when we discover that Persephone dares to taste the fruit of the Underworld; we will be moved by the love affairs of Eros and Psyche; We will go hunting with the beautiful Artemis…

Greek myths are a fascinating compendium of loves, rivalries, revenge, longings, massacres, suicides, passions, tragedies, wars, rebellions, guilt, victories... A whirlwind of very human feelings that has served as inspiration for great creators: Michelangelo to Shakespeare, from James Joyce to Walt Disney. An essential part of the tradition of the West: centuries of literary, pictorial, musical and then cinematographic production are difficult to understand in all their fullness without knowing it.

"This lively rereading, brimming with humor and intimacy, is a true delight" (Edith Hall).

"Fry demonstrates great informative skills, enormous erudition and tremendous enthusiasm" (The Mail on Sunday).

"The best thing he has written since his superb first novel... Enjoyable and instructive, you couldn't ask for more" (Henry Whorwood, The Telegraph).

"He Harmonizes wit and erudition" (Christopher Hart, The Times).
