'A remarkable feat of storytelling' Rosie Hewlett

This should be the story of Hercules: his twelve labours, his endless adventuresâ¦everyoneâs favourite hero, right?

ï»Wrong.

This is the story of everyone else:

Alcmene: Hercâs mother (She has knives everywhere)

Hylas: Hercâs first friend (They were more than friends)

Megara: Hercâs wife (Sheâll tell you about their marriage)

Eurystheus: Oversaw Hercâs labours (He never asked for the job)

His friends, his enemies, his wives, his children, his lovers, his rivals, his gods, his victims.

Itâs time to hear their stories.

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
