About this listen

'An inimitable retelling of the siege of Troy . . . Fry's narrative, artfully humorous and rich in detail, breathes life and contemporary relevance into these ancient tales'
-- Observer

THE #1 BESTSELLER.

AN EPIC BATTLE THAT LASTED TEN YEARS. A LEGENDARY STORY THAT HAS SURVIVED THOUSANDS.

'Troy. The most marvellous kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean. Glittering Ilion, the city that rose and fell not once but twice . . .'

When Helen, the beautiful Greek queen, is kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris, the most legendary war of all time begins.

Listen in awe as a thousand ships are launched against the great city of Troy.

Feel the fury of the battleground as the Trojans stand resolutely against Greek might for an entire decade.

And witness the epic climax - the wooden horse, delivered to the city of Troy in a masterclass of deception by the Greeks . . .

In Stephen Fry's exceptional retelling of our greatest story, TROY will transport you to the depths of ancient Greece and beyond.

If you're enthralled by the magic of Greek mythology you'll love the final instalment to Fry’s retellings, ODYSSEY, a legendary voyage of peril, temptation, loss and epic adventure.

'A fun romp through the world's greatest story. Fry's knowledge of the world - ancient and modern - bursts through' Daily Telegraph

'Hugely successful, graceful' The Times

'Fluent, crisp, nuanced, begins with a bang' The Times Literary Supplement

An exceptional retelling of the ancient epic. The introduction and appendices in particular are delightful, as are the author's editorialising and asides.

Marvelous

Loved the detail, the leading events descriptions, and the ending notes. Mythos and Heroes not required to be known for this book, though i would recommend them for background knowledge on the gods and mentioned characters - they are also 5 star rated by me

Fantastic

A predictably powerful and prodigious bookend to an incredible trilogy. Only Fry could do this.

Like Mythos and Heroes, Troy takes you on an exhilarating adventure and travel to the past, the mind and human nature itself. I cannot recommend this further, another masterpiece by Fry.

Majestic, fantastic, captivating!

I loved this. The story, the author, the narration, everything. I never knew much about Troy, but there’s something about the way Stephen Fry tells a story that just captivates you and fills you with wonder, even in such a dark story. Loved it

expectionally thrilling

This is the 3rd instalment of Stephen's Mythos/Heroes/Troy books and I'm sad it's over!

Incredibly well read as one would expect of Stephen and I throughout the whole series I was hooked. That regularly made me late for things as I would be in the car listening and I'd lose track.

Cannot recommend any higher.

Absolutely sensational!

Troy is the final book in Fry's brilliant retelling, bringing these important and entertaining tales to the modern audience with the charm and wit as only Stephen can.

another brilliant retelling of the classical myths
