Herc

By: Rogerson, Phoenicia

"A Herculean triumph of creative writing, and a joy to read." --Alex Rowson, author of The Young Alexander

This should be the story of Hercules: his twelve labors, his endless adventures... Everyone's favorite hero, right?

Well, it's not.

This is the story of everyone else.
Alcmene: Herc's mother (she has knives everywhere) Hylas: Herc's first friend (they were more than friends) Megara: Princess of Thebes (she'll tell you about the marriage) Eurystheus: Oversaw Herc's labors (definitely did not hide in a jar) His friends, his enemies, his wives, his children, his lovers, his rivals, his gods and his victims

It's time to hear their stories.

"Quick-paced and quick-witted... A refreshing take on an ancient tale." --Booklist

"Hercules had his story, now it's time for everyone else to get their say. Wickedly fun and devilishly dark--the tell-all for our times." --Cari Thomas, author of Threadneedle
