Hercules, the half-mortal son of Zeus known for his superhuman strength, is a Greek mythological character whose tales have been told and retold over the millennia. This volume details the various legends of Hercules, from the Twelve Labors he performed under the enslavement of Eurystheus to his many clashes with Hera, queen of the gods. In addition to absorbing the original myths as told by Ovid, Euripides, and other primary sources, readers will learn how Hercules' story has evolved through later literature and popular culture, such as comic books and the 1997 Disney film.
