This one is a balance between myths centered on Hera and the 12 labors of Heracles/Hercules. I liked how it portrayed Zeus's and Hera's relationship, considering that Zeus cheated on her most of the time. For Hercules/Heracles' story they did change a few things around, but it still follows the original myth pretty well. As good as the others, loved it.

This entire series by O'conner is excellent. Not just an excellent graphic depiction of greek mythos, but simply good telling of the greek mythos overall.This series is perfect for the child first exploring greek mythology, and for the adult who wants to revisit these myths. The myths are made understandable, but they are not as watered down as they normally are. O'conner does an amazing job balancing the content of the myths within a PG level story so that you really don't lose much of the original story. The conversation is good, it feels real, and has nuggets of other myths inside it. Even if you disagree with his interpretations I think you'll enjoy the work. Read them.

Only about half the book centers on Hera, the rest on Heracles/Hercules.

People have always been fascinated with the Greek gods, in part because they’re just as human as we are. They have their faults, their lusts, their mistakes, and their gross failings. Hera is interesting because her fault is finding fault in the wrong people. Rather than punish Zeus for his philandering, she punishes the innocent victims of his attention. Yet under O’Connor’s hand she also has an undeniable charisma. You suddenly understand what Zeus saw in her, because you see it too. It’s one thing to write a myth book about a character and humanize them. It’s another thing entirely to redeem them.
