- What does Herakles’s ultimate marriage to Hebe say about youthfulness, death, and the afterlife?
- Why do you think this poem glosses over so many of the details of Herakles’s life?
- What other thoughts do you have about this poem?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
