In part two of our adventure into the story of Heracles/Hercules, we cover his first six tasks. Hercules sure was a hero, but maybe a bit less fun than the Disney version. 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.
