This should be the story of Hercules: his twelve labours, 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 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. -- $c Back cover. 600 00 $a Hercules $c (Roman mythological character) $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Heracles $c (Greek mythological character) $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Amphitryon $c (Greek mythological character) $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Hylas $c (Greek mythological character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gods, Greek $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $z Greece $x Antiquities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Heroes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Animals, Mythical $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Queer fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Mythological fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 9 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011312.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20240326010146.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025751.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240104010310.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207020529.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20231005012239.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20231005011105.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231003013001.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231003012053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=44308D6861B211EE96A426B62DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
