Stephen Fry (born 1957) is a British comedy actor who also writes screenplays, novels, and short stories. He is a representative of English standard humour, and many of his works have become bestsellers. Frye is also fascinated by ancient Greek culture and mythology, and has even created a whole ancient literary cycle.

Heroes is the second book in this cycle. In it, he tells about the heroes of Ancient Greece and their exploits. He brilliantly retells the dramatic stories of Jason and Hercules, Perseus and Orpheus, Oedipus and Bellerophon. Riddles, chases, battles, incredible puzzles, murders, and amazing rescues. The reader is able to plunge into the fascinating world of adventures from ancient times. Although many people read Greek myths at school, Fry's version of the heroes of antiquity portrays them as ordinary people with contradictory natures, comic, tragic, romantic and cruel. The author's original style is intriguing and keeps the reader engaged until the end of the story.
