    Odyssee

    Een hervertelling van het grootste epos aller tijden

    Na het internationale succes van Mythos, Helden en Troje vertelt Stephen Fry in dit laatste deel van zijn serie over de Griekse mythologie met zichtbaar schrijfplezier en zijn kenmerkende onderkoelde humor het verhaal van een van de beroemdste werken uit de klassieke oudheid: Homerus’ Odyssee. We volgen Odysseus nadat hij de gevallen stad Troje heeft verlaten. Tien lange jaren is hij onderweg naar huis, naar zijn vrouw Penelope op het eiland Ithaca. Onderweg vecht hij tegen monsters, moet hij verleidingen van godinnen weerstaan en lijdt hij onder de vloek van Poseidon. Lukt het hem om zijn weg terug te vinden?

  9. Mythos
    1. Stephen Fry

    Mythos

    Losbandigheid, lust en liefde, moord en doodslag, triomfen en tragedies; de Griekse mythen en sagen zijn wilder en woester dan het leven zelf. Deze verhalen bieden alles wat een lezer zich kan wensen. De oude Grieken inspireerden onder anderen Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce en Walt Disney. In de handen van Stephen Fry komen de verhalen opnieuw tot leven. We worden verliefd op Zeus, we aanschouwen de geboorte van Athena, we zien hoe Kronos en Gaia wraak nemen op Ouranos, we huilen met koning Midas en we jagen met de even beeldschone als meedogenloze Artemis. Stephen Fry haalt deze verhalen op uit de oudheid en geeft ze hun welverdiende plek in onze moderne tijd.
