Crucial Link

Since we don't have any surviving works of Heraclides, this book serves as the most important source for his thoughts and the remnants of his writings. The name "Heraclides" may mean "son of Herakles," and Heraclides mentions several crucial connections to the myths about Herakles, the most important Greek hero. Readers with inquiring minds will not be disappointed.
