In this brilliant conclusion to his bestselling Mythos trilogy, legendary author and actor Stephen Fry retells the tale of the Trojan War.

Full of tragic heroes, intoxicating love stories, and the unstoppable force of fate, there is no conflict more iconic than the Trojan War. Troy is the story of the epic battle retold by Fry with drama, humor, and vivid emotion. Achilles, Hector, Odysseus, Helen, their lovers, and their mortal enemies all burn bright in Fry's compelling prose. Illustrated throughout with classical art inspired by the myths, this gorgeous volume invites you to explore a captivating world with a brilliant storyteller as your guide.

• BELOVED AUTHOR: Stephen Fry is an icon whose signature wit and mellifluous style makes this retelling utterly unique. Fans will love hearing his interpretation, whether they are familiar with the original Greek myths or not.
• TIMELESS STORIES: For fans of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, Madeline Miller's Circe or Song of Achilles, or Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls, this is the perfect next great read. These ancient tales never get old.
• STUNNING SERIES CONCLUSION: Mythos and Heroes, the first two installments in the trilogy, were international bestsellers. Now fans can read the thrilling third book.
• GORGEOUS GIFT: With a vibrant contemporary design, full-color artwork throughout, and shimmering metallic highlights on the jacket, this book makes a superb present.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Fry’s narrative, artfully humorous and rich in detail, breathes life and contemporary relevance into these ancient tales, revealing connections between myth and modern language, art and culture."

― The Guardian (UK)



"There’s nothing dry about Mr. Fry’s exuberant stories. They’re droll, witty and full of pathos. The books are handsome too, illustrated in full color with photos of classical art and works by old masters."

―The Wall Street Journal



A "Favorite Books of the Summer" Pick

― Boston Globe

Brilliant book, but I have a bone to pick with the publisher!
Mr. Fry did a brilliant job (of course). I would happily read more of his mythology books if he is so inclined to continue the series. However!! The dust jackets for Mythos and Heroes were both lovely, shiny metallic and it really bothers me that Troy doesn’t match the design. The finish is more matte, and the design under “Chronicle Books” doesn’t line up. It drives me crazy. If you release it again someday, please adjust!

In the third book of Fry's Great Mythology series, we delve deeper into the Trojan War and the legendary heroes who took part in it. Fry's storytelling skills make learning about ancient times an enjoyable experience. I am eagerly anticipating the next book in this series, where he explores The Odyssey.

4.0 out of 5 stars Aimed for younger readers
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2022

I like Stephen Fry's wry wit and his polymath's intelligence. The book does a good job of retelling the background and story of the Trojan War, ranging widely to cover side-issues and backstories. Fry doesn't hesitate to add his updated, sardonic commentary, making fun of some of the characters and events from a modern perspective. This does get a wee bit intrusive.

But the tone and style of the book pretty much shows that it is intended for a younger audience. And I think also for a more educated audience, a British audience in fact. I'm afraid that the United States does not have all that many middle- and high-schoolers who have a background in Greek mythology and literature, and Fry does expect the readers to have some familiarity with these fields.

Still, this reviewer tends to think there are no children's books and no adult's books, but only books. A good book should be interesting for any age of reader, and this is a good one.

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2022

After loving the first two books in this trilogy I was very excited to read Stephen Fry's take on the Trojan War and, as I have come to expect from him, it was very clear, chronological, and a little bit cheeky in its retelling. Stephen Fry has done a tremendous job in delving into these myths and characters and explaining to the modern reader just what exactly is going on, while poking fun at the repeating parables found in greek myth. If you are interested in Greek myths but are not sure where to start, I would highly recommend this book and the others in the series.

Concluding Fry's trilogy of the Greek myths, Troy gives a very full account of the war from the founding of Troy to its final defeat. Drawing on more sources than Homer, it's an exciting, well-written story that makes sense of the epic war.

Stephen Frye manages to make all the strange names, and the familiar ones, easy to remember because he tells their stories so brilliantly. A great read. Wonderful for students, but even better for just sitting back in a favourite chair and reading.
