Think you know the story of Hercules? You may well be mistaken. This week is part one of the story of Heracles (Hercules, in the Roman). We delve into his true origins, and compare that to the classic Disney movie. Special thanks to the book The Greek Myths by Robin Waterfield for the help on this episode. 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.
