Odyssey. Can a hero find his way home?

Troy has fallen – and the victorious Greeks head home …

Setting sail, hero Odysseus dreams of lying in the arms of his beloved wife, Penelope, and of teaching his son, Telemachus, a warrior’s way. However, gods toy with the desires of mortals. Angered by this upstart’s presumption, Poseidon – god of the ocean realms – curses our hero to wander the seas for ten long years.

Encountering one-eyes giants, six-headed monsters, terrible storms, titanic whirlpools, hypnotic sirens, seductive witches and jealous goddesses, Odysseus is tempted and tormented beyond any man’s endurance.

Yet he is no mere mortal – and the lure of his wife and son draws him, step by step, stroke by stroke, ever closer to home and his destiny …

A tale of love and longin, return and redemtion, home and hope, Stephen Fry’s Odyssey weaves together the final threads of the tapestry begun in the worldwide bestseller Mythos. It is the story for the ages – and all ages.
