Hercules: Is Even a Son of Zeus Strong Enough to Win in the Battle for Virtue?

Written by Geraldine McCaughrean

Narrated by Cynthia Bishop and Full Cast

When the goddess Hera - wife of Zeus - discovers her husband's mortal son, Hercules, she vows to destroy him.

Thus begins Hercules's legendary and epic journey, in which he is forced to take on a series of seemingly impossible tasks. He battles an array of both amazing and terrifying beasts, including the mighty Cretan Bull, the many-headed Hydra, the ferocious Nemean Lion, and the three-headed guardian of hell, Cerberus.

With the help of the gods Athena and Apollo, can Hercules triumph in the end?
