Showing results for "Das Labor" in Fantasy

"The Twelve Labours of Hercules" are a series of feats ordered by the gods carried out by Heracles, the greatest of the Greek heroes, whose name was later romanised as Hercules. The legend was first written whole, as a fixed cycle of twelve labours, in an epic Greek poem now lost, in about 600BC; as they survive in the original source, the labours are not all recounted in a single place, but must be reassembled from many sources. This short story is a retelling of Hercules' legend with an elegant style that will edify children and adults alike.

Hercules must change his angry and mighty countenance to one of patience and perseverance. Despite the goddess Hera and King Eurystheus presuming the 12 labors they thrust upon Hercules are impossible, our hero accomplishes them, not only because of his strength, but also by using his intelligence, the advice of others, and the help of his friends. Too Much the Hero shows us that "who we were" doesn't stick to us; we can change for the better in our character - to a new and improved “who we are”.
