The three heads of the monster bristled with rage. His three mouths roared. Each of his six arms brandished a might club. Hercules must vanquish this dreadful monster. And this is only one of the terrible twelve labors he is doomed to perform. Here are the thrilling adventures of the mighty Hercules. Here, too, is the tale of the girl who dared to defy a goddess, of the boy who flew too close to the sun, of Theseus, who slew the Beast of the Labyrinth. Here are the Greek legends -- some of the greatest stories that have ever been told.
