What's Hercules About
Journey back to ancient Greece and meet the greatest hero who ever lived–Hercules! With eleven difficult tasks behind him, he now must face the last and most terrifying. To bring back the three-headed monster dog, Cerberus, Hercules must enter the Underworld–where the dead go–and come back alive! With a bold storytelling voice, Robert Burleigh takes the reader into the classical world of Greek mythology and reveals the courage and valor of this larger-than-life hero. Award-winning illustrator Raul Colon s dazzling artwork imbues this classical story with magic and power.”
