Narrado por: Cynthia Bishop

When the goddess Hera, wife of Zeus, discovers her husband's mortal son, Hercules, she vows to destroy him. Thus begins Hercules's legendary and epic journey, in which he is forced to take on a series of seemingly impossible tasks. He battles an array of both amazing and terrifying beasts, including the mighty Cretan Bull, the many-headed Hydra, the ferocious Nemean Lion, and the three-headed guardian of hell, Cerberus. With the help of the gods Athena and Apollo, can Hercules triumph in the end?©2003 Geraldine McCaughrean (P)2008 Full Cast Audio

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Such vivid writing will hold the attention of anyone already interested in these ageless legends, and teachers could well ignite students' appetites for the tales by reading passages aloud." (School Library Journal)

This story has a full cast of voice actors that certainly brings the story to life.

Instead of a list of things Hercules did this book creates an interesting narrative that makes it far easier to remember what he did for each trial. The story is told in an entertaining way due to the variety of voice actors involved. This book obviously had a lot of effort put into it's creation and it truly does bring Greek Mythology to life.

super campy & Fun.

What a great listen this story of Hercules would be perfect for road trips with the children. Adults and children alike will enjoy these fun tales with over the top acting and character voices.
