Herakles

About the Book

Herakles, son of Zeus and Alceste, hated by Hera, commits an atrocity at her instigation and must atone for his sin by performing twelve labors as directed by his rival, King Eurystheus of Mycenae. This ancient tale has been re-written as a hero-poem and illustrated by C. R. Bryan in 200 drawings. This volume is the first of two. Each quatrain is placed with a drawing. C. R. Bryan is an artist and author who loves old lore and delights in reshaping stories with images and music for pleasure. He hopes you are pleased with this.

About the Author

C. R. Bryan is fond of the wonderful worlds that may blossom only in the mind yet are so real that multitudes accept them for reality. He is author of Bump’s Circus, which is the prequel to the Vale of Unika. He is also a painter and musician living on the fringes of the Texas Hill Country, which is the setting for much of this novel. There are at least five more volumes in the series The Six Inversions of Purpose. As Mortimer the Magnificent Dragon likes to say, “Scrumptious!”
