It is both amazing and wonderful that so much of the richness of our language and our moral education still owes a huge debt to a Greek slave who was executed over 2,000 years ago.

Hercules must change his angry and mighty countenance to one of patience and perseverance. Despite the goddess Hera and King Eurystheus presuming the 12 labors they thrust upon Hercules are impossible, our hero accomplishes them, not only because of his strength, but also by using his intelligence, the advice of others, and the help of his friends. Too Much the Hero shows us that "who we were" doesn't stick to us; we can change for the better in our character - to a new and improved “who we are”.
