โฆ Synopsis
There are Heroes - and then there are Greek 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.
Filled with
white-knuckle chases and battles, impossible puzzles and riddles, acts
of base cowardice and real bravery, not to mention murders and selfless
sacrifices, Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of - at our worst and our very best.
