A signed 1st edition of the newly released illustrated version of 'Mythos ', the acclaimed book from Stephen Fry exploring the myths and legends of Ancient Greece, which was first released in a trade hardback edition in 2017.   Subsequent volumes 'Heroes ' and 'Troy ' were to follow.





'Mythos : The Illustrated Story ' published by Michael Joseph/Penguin Books, London on 19 October 2023, 1st edition, large modern hardback, 464 pages.  Illustrated in colour throughout by Jesus Sotes.





This is an exclusive signed 1st edition, hand signed by Stephen Fry to an official bookplate affixed to the title page.   I understand that the original intention was for Mr Fry to actually hand sign copies of this release but this was changed due to the injuries he suffered as a result of a fall from the stage at the O2 Arena in September 2023.


In fine unread condition.  The book has a yellow ribbon page marker and illustrated endpapers.  'signed copy' roundel sticker to the front panel of the dustjacket.






** This is a heavy volume weighing in at nearly 1.6kg before being securely packed **







Step into Stephen Fry’s richly colourful world of magic, mayhem, monsters and maniacal gods in MYTHOS: THE ILLUSTRATED STORY



No one loves and quarrels, desires and deceives as boldly or brilliantly as Greek gods and goddesses.




In Stephen Fry's vivid retelling, we gaze in wonder as wise Athena is born from the cracking open of the great head of Zeus and follow doomed Persephone into the dark and lonely realm of the Underworld.  We shiver in fear when Pandora opens her jar of evil torments and watch with joy as the legendary love affair between Eros and Psyche unfolds.



Mythos: The Illustrated Story captures these extraordinary myths for our modern age in striking colour - in all their dazzling and deeply human relevance.
