  The Twelve Labors of Heracles

  In the golden age of heroes, when gods walked among mortals and monsters roamed the earth, there lived a man of extraordinary strength and courage—Heracles, son of Zeus, king of the gods, and Alcmene, a mortal woman.

  From birth, Heracles was destined for greatness, yet cursed by the jealousy of Hera, Zeus’s divine wife. As an infant, he strangled two serpents sent by the goddess to kill him in his crib. As he grew, his strength and skills became legendary throughout Greece. Yet for all his power, Heracles lacked one thing—wisdom to temper his might.
