After stories about gods (“Myth”) and people (“Heroes”), Stephen Fry continued his grandiose ancient cycle with the greatest legend, which is already more than three thousand years old. The story of Troy and its heroes is fresh and relevant to this day, even if centuries separate us from it. The Ten Years' War, which took place at the turn of the 13th and 12th centuries BC. e. the entire eastern Mediterranean and its environs, became, thanks to Homer and his Iliad, an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the entire Western civilization. The story of Troy still defines our ideas about heroism, love, betrayal, revenge, deceit, disappointment, repentance, despair and generosity. In his third volume of the great tales of antiquity, Stephen Fry offers us a true romance in the most modern sense - as dynamic, exciting and touching to the very heart. Helen, Paris, Achilles, Patroclus, Menelaus, Agamemnon, Priam, Hecuba - these and many other names have already become almost household names, but Fry gave this immortal symphony of voices and destinies a brilliant and very modern sound.
