This should be the story of Hercules: his twelve labours, his endless adventures\u2026 everyone\u2019s favourite hero, right?<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

This is the story of everyone else:
\nAlcmene: Herc\u2019s mother (She has knives everywhere)
\nHylas: Herc\u2019s first friend (They were more than friends)
\nMegara: Herc\u2019s wife (She\u2019ll tell you about their marriage)
\nEurystheus: Oversaw Herc\u2019s labours (He never asked for the job)
\nHis friends, his enemies, his wives, his children, his lovers, his rivals, his gods, his victims.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to hear their stories.<\/p>\n

Told with humour and heart, Herc gives voice to the silenced characters, in this feminist, queer (and sometimes shocking) retelling of classic Hercules myth.<\/p>\n

Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and Joanne M.
