‘Astonishingly vivid’ Jodi Taylor This should be the story of
Hercules: his twelve labours, his endless adventures…everyone’s
favourite 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 victims. 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.
