Description
This should be the story of Hercules: his twelve labours, his endless adventuresโฆeveryoneโs favourite hero, right?Well, itโs not.
This is the story of everyone else:
Alcmene: Hercโs mother (She has knives everywhere)
Hylas: Hercโs first friend (They were more than friends)
Megara: Hercโs wife (Sheโll tell you about their marriage)
Eurystheus: Oversaw Hercโs labours (Definitely did not hide in a jar)
His friends, his enemies, his wives, his children, his lovers, his rivals, his gods, his victims.
Itโs time to hear their stories.
Told with humour and heart, Herc gives voice to the silenced characters, in this feminist, queer (and sometimes shocking) retelling of classic Hercules myth.
Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and Joanne M. Harris. ISBN:9781335016775
