"A Herculean triumph of creative writing, and a joy to read." --Alex Rowson, author of The Young Alexander

This should be the story of Hercules: his twelve labors, his endless adventures... Everyone's favorite hero, right?

Well, it's not.

This is the story of everyone else.
  • Alcmene: Herc's mother (she has knives everywhere)
  • Hylas: Herc's first friend (they were more than friends)
  • Megara: Princess of Thebes (she'll tell you about the marriage)
  • Eurystheus: Oversaw Herc's labors (definitely did not hide in a jar)
  • His friends, his enemies, his wives, his children, his lovers, his rivals, his gods and his victims

    • It's time to hear their stories.

    "Quick-paced and quick-witted... A refreshing take on an ancient tale." --Booklist

    "Hercules had his story, now it's time for everyone else to get their say. Wickedly fun and devilishly dark--the tell-all for our times." --Cari Thomas, author of Threadneedle

Rogerson, Phoenicia: - Phoenicia Rogerson is altogether mortal with a rather less checkered past than Hercules. After a decade of not being able to find his complete story on bookshelves, she decided to pull her socks up and write it herself. She's had two short stories published in the UCL Publishers' Prize. She lives and works in London. HERC is her first novel.
