The epic FINAL chapter to Stephen Fry's outstanding retellings of the Greek Myths

Troy has fallen. After 10 years of war, the Greeks make their way back to their own lands - but what homes now await them? Agamemnon must return to his wife Clytemnestra, who has been nursing her rage since he sacrificed their daughter to the gods for a favourable wind. Her revenge will know no bounds.

Meanwhile, Odysseus has angered the god Poseidon and he is cursed to wander the seas, facing angry monsters and possessive demi-gods as he attempts to return to Ithaca and his patient, clever wife Penelope.

Industry Reviews
A sweeping, engrossing story - i

Outstandingly entertaining quartet of books . . . Fry breathes contemporary relevance into these ancient tales. As with his previous titles, he combines scholarly research with a lightness of touch, and his wry sense of humour and natural gift for storytelling make for a highly engaging read - Observer

Imaginative - Daily Mail

Relatable and full of humour . . . Odyssey brings [the] four-book sequence satisfyingly to a close - Guardian

The familiar narrative bounds along in a chatty style, coloured with mildly revisionist insights into the characters - Daily Mail

Accessible storytelling and Fry brings warmth, exuberance and humour. Hard to beat - Guardian

Odyssey completes his Greek Myths series in marvellous fashion. . . Fry, a born storyteller, succeeds again in making the ancient stories accessible, gently modernising the language and dotting his journey with explanatory and often amusing footnotes - Irish Independent
