Heracles and Nathan - Candy Jar Books

Heracles and Nathan by Stan Gerson

In this hilarious and heart-warming retelling of ancient Greek mythology, Nathan, the best friend of the legendary hero Heracles, invites you into his world. But hold on – this isn’t your typical hero story! Sure, everyone knows about Heracles’ famous twelve labours, but Nathan reveals the untold tales. 

With humour, warmth, and a touch of mischief, Nathan gives a behind-the-scenes look at the hero you think you know, showing you that even the greatest heroes need a good friend by their side. This is the story of how two unlikely friends conquered ancient Greece together – one labour at a time.
