Herc - Limited Edition

About the book

Astonishingly vivid Jodi Taylor

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

Well, its not.

This is the story of everyone else:

Alcmene: Hercs mother (She has knives everywhere)

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

Megara: Hercs wife (Shell tell you about their marriage)

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

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

Its 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
