Troy

Author: Stephen Fry
Series: Greek mythology-inspired retellings
ASIN: B094WWPYRM

You’ve never encountered The Iliad like this before. Presenting the rise and fall of Troy, writer, actor, and humorist Stephen Fry has a knack for making Greek mythology compulsively readable. Or listenable, in my case. I especially appreciated how he constantly assures his listener to sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories. These reimagined myths feel like bedtime stories for grownups; it's easy to get lost in the tales of valiant heroes and dastardly villains, which feel by turns fresh and familiar.
