Hercules must perform twelve labors to appease the Greek gods. Written in a fun sing songy style this poem tells the story of the Greek Demi-god Hercules, who is convicted of murder by the gods of Olympus. His patron goddess Hera convinces the other gods to spare him, but only on the condition that he performs twelve superhuman labors. These labors range from acts such as the slaying the Nemean Lion to woeing the mad queen Omphale. Will he survive till the final labor, and discover who really slew his family?
Excerpt:
And Zeuses heart did bid revolt
But still he readied thunderbolt
To hurl across the sky at babe
In crib where welplings form was laid.
