In the conclusion to this Heracles (Hercules) series of episodes, we finish off the final labours in what are famously (and descriptively) referred to as “The Twelve Labours of Heracles”. There’s more Cerberus, a replacement wife, and, you guessed it, more cows! A general mythology warning: far too many Greek myths involve assaulting women. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
