Hercules is one of the most popular heroes of Greek myths. And no wonder, for this mighty athlete could effortlessly dispose of the most terrifying monsters, win entire battles single-handedly, and swing an impossibly heavy club as easily as you or I might handle an umbrella or a cane! Of course, one day it will be just like that, but… Later, when our hero grows up a little. For now, he dreams of only one thing - to get rid of that tiresome list of 12 labors once and for all, which has ruined the poor guy's life. No, he's ready to take care of the Nemean Lion, dispatch the Lernaean Hydra, swipe Hippolyta’s belt, clean the Augean stables... and so on; it’s a long list, tomorrow if need be. The only problem is that Zeus just won't give him the super strength he was promised, to tell the truth, a long time ago. And what can you do without super strength when you’re not particularly bright, lack agility, and your speed, let’s be honest, is nothing to write home about... So he has to muddle through as best he can. But we know that the Little Myths never lose heart: even if it’s hard, even if things don’t work out... It’s fun, at least!
For primary and middle school age.
