Heracles [ Ἡρακλῆς] *New* The Greeks carved him in stone, but Heracles was made of thunder and lightning. They called him the greatest hero born of both heaven and earth. Both sky and ground. Both Gaia and Ouranos. But growing up as a demi-god was hard for Heracles. The Queen of Heaven had tried to kill him even before he'd taken his first breath. Did he truly belong on olympus? His mother had told him he was the son of a god. But Heracles only understood that it was blood that ran through his veins, not the golden ichor of immortality. Still, he lived to be a hero so great he was the subject of ballads and poetry and literature for ages during and after his life on earth. This is a retelling of the adventures, curses, trials, and lovers that turned the half god, Heracles, fully divine.
