About this episode

Forget the simple tales of strength and glory. The labours of Hercules were acts of punishment, fear, and endurance, imposed by gods and fate. Monsters, impossible tasks, distant lands, and a long path of atonement — a calm story about a hero for whom fame was never a reward, only a burden. Boring history for sleep – Soft stories about difficult lives.
