Sinossi
Divinità dissolute e vendicative, eroi valorosi e intrepidi, creature mostruose e incredibili prodigi. La mitologia classica è tutto questo e molto di più: un immenso patrimonio di racconti e avventure che hanno attraversato i secoli per giungere sino a noi, conservando intatto il loro fascino. Dopo aver scalato l’Olimpo e rivelato vizi e virtù degli dei, Stephen Fry si mescola ai mortali per narrarne le gesta, le peripezie e gli intrighi. Prepariamo ci allora ad accompagnare Giasone e i suoi Argonauti alla ricerca del Vello d’oro, a seguire Eracle mentre porta a compimento le sue dodici fatiche, ad appassionarci all’amore struggente e disperato di Orfeo ed Euridice, a perderci tra i corridoi del labirinto insieme a Teseo e al Minotauro. Attraverso il canto di un aedo contemporaneo tornano a nuova vita episodi notissimi e storie poco conosciute, personaggi senza tempo, sempre in bilico tra commedia e tragedia. Eroi è il racconto ironico e scanzonato di un’epoca remota eppure a noi vicinissima, un’opera che parla del nostro passato e al contempo illumina con intelligenza e umorismo il nostro presente.

"Who says I'm an idiot?" I've been waiting for a while now to resume Stephen Fry's Mythology series. Mythos - the first book - had been a ton a fun, and this one's no different. "It began, like many Greek stories, with some cattle rustling." Fry's awesome narrative requires little to no introd
Let me start off by saying that I really enjoyed Mythos , but the second instalment is bitterly disappointing. Greek mythology is full of so many strange stories and strange people. It’s so rich and wonderful and I really do love reading about it, but it needs detail. Stephen Fry has attempted to mak Leggi tutto
I shall judge this book purely upon whether I was entertained. And I'm happy to announce that I was. :) Fry's wit and erudition come together nicely to make one of the most accessible accounting of a large handful of Greek Heroes I've had the pleasure to read. Perhaps better than Hamilton, definitely Leggi tutto

Heroes by Stephen Fry is a book I had to listen to. Fry’s narration is wonderful - perfect pronunciation, timbre, pace, drama for effect, and of course, he's bloody funny. I really recommend listening to this if you can – it is terrific. For some months now I have been wriggling my way through the f Leggi tutto
„Герои“ (продължението на „Митове“ на Стивън Фрай) ни връща обратно в антична Гърция, представяйки ни приключенията и подвизите на осем герои – Персей, Херакъл, Белерофонт, Орфей, Язон, Аталанта, Едип и Тезей. Осмината смъртни герои в книгата преминават наистина през забележителни приключения, извър Leggi tutto
Following his first book on Greek mythology “Mythos” ( https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... ), Stephen Fry continue to explore the classical tales of ancient Greece with “Heroes”, which explores the stories around such famous characters as Heracles, Jason, Theseus, Orpheus, Atalanta and Oedipus.

No, I can not deny it, I can never resist Stephen Fry. So much so that, once again, I have the print copy as well as the audiobook since it is narrated by the author himself. I read them in parallel to enjoy Stephen Fry’s voice as much as the visual design of the print copy with the great artwork an Leggi tutto
