Herc is out now!
This should be the story of Hercules: his twelve labours, his endless adventures…everyone’s favourite hero, right?
Well, it’s not.
This is the story of everyone else:
Alcmene: Herc’s mother (She has knives everywhere)
Hylas: Herc’s first friend (They were more than friends)
Megara: Herc’s wife (She’ll tell you about their marriage)
Eurystheus: Oversaw Herc’s labours (Definitely did not hide in a jar)
His friends, his enemies, his wives, his children, his lovers, his rivals, his gods, his victims. It’s time to hear their stories.
Told with humour and heart, Herc gives voice to the silenced characters, in this feminist, queer (and sometimes shocking) retelling of classic Hercules myth.
Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and Joanne M. Harris

About the Author
Phoenicia Rogerson is altogether mortal with a rather less checkered past than Hercules. Herc is the result of a lifelong infatuation with Greek mythology and she is greatly enjoying being able to claim her book purchases are for work.
These days she lives in London, where she can often be seen trying to convince people that grammar is cool — no, really! — and jumping into freezing water, because you just can’t take the Cornwall out of the girl.
