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. 650 0 $a Mythology, Greek. 650 0 $a Mythology, Classical. 650 0 $a Gods and goddesses. 650 0 $a Legends $z Greece. 650 0 $a Mythology. 941 $a 2 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909053549.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190604034541.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B3012F8868F11E988B41FF596128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
