Heroes Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring
adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful
gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes. In this companion to
his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny,
tragic and timeless tales. Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the
Golden Fleece. See Atalanta ? who was raised by bears ? outrun any man before
being tricked with golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the
Sphinx and discover how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help
him slay the monster Chimera. Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly
capable of ? at our worst and our very best.
