Bookroo's summary

Hercules, famed for his strength, is not the hero you think. With a mind as small as his muscles are large, he relies on his clever friends to guide him through legendary feats. But what happens when the truth is revealed by none other than Hades himself? Dive into a tale where myths unravel, and the real story of Hercules comes to light. Will his friends' guidance be enough to maintain his heroic reputation, or will the truth change everything?

From the publisher

You’ve heard of Hercules, right? Big, strong guy who did tons of amazing, heroic deeds? Well one part of that myth is correct. Hercules was big and strong. But he had a teeny-tiny brain. He couldn’t have done any of those heroic deeds if it hadn’t been for his friends telling him exactly what to do. Hades sets the record straight on the true story of Hercules.
