About this listen

The legendary Stephen Fry retells the adventures of Odysseus for the fourth and final installment in his internationally bestselling Greek Myths series.

Odysseus’s journey from the battlefields of Troy to his home in Ithaca is one of the greatest stories ever told. From the lotus-eaters to the sirens, from Circe to the Cyclops, this is a tale of thrilling adventures, cunning escapes, and enduring devotion. Stephen Fry breathes new life into the ancient poem with humor and pathos. This gorgeous volume invites you to explore a captivating world with a brilliant storyteller as your guide.

BELOVED AUTHOR: Stephen Fry is an icon whose signature wit and mellifluous style make this retelling utterly unique. Fans will love hearing his interpretation, whether they are familiar with the original myths or not.

TIMELESS STORIES: For fans of Madeline Miller’s Circe or Song of Achilles, Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology, or Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls, this is the perfect next great read. These ancient tales never get old.

POPULAR SERIES: The previous books that comprise Stephen Fry's Greek Myths—Mythos, Heroes, and Troy—have been international bestsellers, praised for their engaging and nuanced retellings. Now fans can finally read Fry's take on The Odyssey.

This audiobook was a long time coming, but well worth the wait. An expected attention to detail, deft application of unique wit and flair, and an appropriate end to the set of books that began with Mythos

Stephen Fry is one of the best storytellers I've ever listened to. His knowledge and research as a writer of these books have also enhanced my listening experience. The stories are not new, but every time I listen, I learn a new linguistic term that I never connected before. Overall, a fantastic experience!

New Classic

He knows the Gods intimately, and he has capped off an amazing quadrilogy with Odyssey. Essentially reading for any believer (as long as you keep in mind that Fry himself, self-reportedly, is not).

Stephen Fry was given theognostia
