Mythos

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The myths we all love from Stephen Fry's bestselling Mythos now return in a brand new and achingly beautiful illustrated edition.

The Greek myths are amongst the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists from Shakespeare to Walt Disney.

They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. These beautiful illustrations will mesmerise and enthral you—you'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the ferocious Artemis.

Spellbinding, informative and moving, Stephen Fry's Mythos - The Illustrated Story perfectly captures these stories for the modern age - in all their rich and deeply human relevance.
