Hrdinové - CDmp3 (Čte Otakar Brousek ml.)

Even the ancient Greeks were caught up in a whirlwind of passions. And now a British joker is spying on them! When, thanks to Prometheus, the age of gods became tiresome for Greece and legendary heroes emerged, it started to get stuffy by the local sea. The disgruntled Olympus was making waves and harming the warriors with treacherous fate, lazy incest, or at least wolfish twilight, which are luxurious stimuli for a comedian who set out to show that the follies of that time are no different from the craziness of the 21st century. After all, they are born from the same passions. In the brilliantly cheeky rendition by Stephen Fry, watch how the crafty Perseus hardens Medusa's features or how the hot-headed terminator Heracles deals with the Hydra as item number 2 on the list of forced labor. Sail with Jason to the superwoman Medea and be there when the querulous Oedipus crushes the Sphinx. Not to mention Theseus, who wisely took matters into his own hands when his father couldn't control his lust. The valiant Greeks sometimes boast almost like we do in our social media statuses, but without their heroism, there would be no art of the West. After all, they are the stars that have climbed up to the sky! Duration of the recording: 15 hours 2 minutes
