Summary

Summary

This should be the story of Hercules: his twelve labors, his endless adventures… everyone’s favorite hero, right?

Well, it’s not.

This is the story of everyone else:

  • Alcmene: Herc’s mother (She has knives everywhere)

  • Hylas: Herc’s first friend (They were more than friends)

  • Megara: Herc’s wife (She’ll tell you about their marriage)

  • Eurystheus: Oversaw Herc’s labours (He never asked for the job)

His friends, his enemies, his wives, his children, his lovers, his rivals, his gods, his victim

It’s 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.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Alternately hilarious and shocking, this is an astonishingly vivid retelling of the story of Hercules, and these are not the Greek myths I learned in school." Jodi Taylor, author of Just One Damned Thing after Another
