Summary
AN EPIC BATTLE THAT LASTED TEN YEARS. A LEGENDARY STORY THAT HAS SURVIVED THOUSANDS.

'Troy. The most marvellous kingdom in all the world. The Jewel of the Aegean. Glittering Ilion, the city that rose and fell not once but twice . . .'

When Helen, the beautiful Greek queen, is kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris, the most legendary war of all time begins.

Watch in awe as a thousand ships are launched against the great city of Troy.

Feel the fury of the battleground as the Trojans stand resolutely against Greek might for an entire decade.

And witness the epic climax - the wooden horse, delivered to the city of Troy in a masterclass of deception by the Greeks . . .

In Stephen Fry's exceptional retelling of our greatest story, TROY will transport you to the depths of ancient Greece and beyond.

'An inimitable retelling of the siege of Troy . . . Fry's narrative, artfully humorous and rich in detail, breathes life and contemporary relevance into these ancient tales' OBSERVER

'Stephen Fry has done it again. Well written and super storytelling' 5***** READER REVIEW

'A fun romp through the world's greatest story. Fry's knowledge of the world - ancient and modern - bursts through' Daily Telegraph

What listeners say
The audiobook receives high praise for its narration and storytelling, particularly highlighting the performance of Stephen Fry. Listeners appreciate the engaging delivery and the ability to make complex topics accessible. However, one listener found the content difficult to engage with and noted similarities to other Greek myth books. Overall, the audiobook is celebrated for its quality and Fry's narration, though a few found it challenging to connect with.

It doesn’t get better than this. Stephen Fry is a genius with a layman’s touch. If only he could have been my teacher at school … how different my life might have been!

I had already read/listened to Mythos and Heroes, his other books, so expectations were high, but met!

Dreadful. Avoid, pompous. 10 words, dreadful

This was difficult to get into and stick with. Very similar in build to the other Greek myth books, too similar in fact. I felt like I had heard the same "he huffed and he puffed" lines before.
