“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.

- 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

Surprisingly wonderful

I didn't expect this book to catch me as hard as it did, but I can now highly recommend this unusual retelling of Hercules. The original Greek mythos is not changed, but the narrative perspectives change to all different kinds of people that walked alongside Hercules. It was written so well, I laughed, I cried, I was fully invested (even though you kind of know how it ends).
Wow

I didn't expect it to be this good. The different POVs are so well and interesting written, i loved all of them and it made the experience even better. The audio book was a perfect choice for this with all the different voices that could enhance the character aspects.
I have many thoughts after hearing this story and I love that. There are always so many aspects to someones life.
I hope to read more of the author in the future!
