Greek Myth XXXIX: Pseudo-Apollodorus’s Bibliotheca Book II, Chapter V – Twelve Labors of Heracles, or There Should Have Been Ten

Heracles makes himself famous in today’s episode.

Who says Heracles has to be tall? Or human?
Discussion Prompts
  1. Discuss how Hera fits into this story.
  2. Which is your favorite labor? Why?
  3. Pick one of the shorter labors and retell it.
  4. Is Heracles a serial killer? Why or why not?
  5. Why does Hera stir up trouble amongst the Amazons?
  6. Retell this chapter from the perspective of Eurystheus.

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.
