About the Books. Mythos opens Fry's trilogy of retellings, beginning at the very origins of the world: the birth of the Titans and Olympian gods, Prometheus's gift of fire, Pandora's fateful jar, and the strange romance of Eros and Psyche. It lays the divine groundwork for everything that follows.. Heroes turns from gods to mortals, following Jason and the Argonauts' quest for the Golden Fleece, Atalanta's legendary speed, and the tangled fates of Oedipus, Bellerophon and Perseus. Fry balances triumph and tragedy as these flawed, courageous humans test their limits against monsters and prophecy..
