The Fighting Moose
The Twelve Labors of Hercules
According to an article I found on mentalfloss.com, there have been approximately 130 million books published in the history of mankind. (Like always, I'll include that link in the show notes.) That's a lot of books, if I read 40 books per year, it would only take me 3.25 million years to read all those books and that's not taking into account ones that haven't been published yet. That's crazy! Anyway, today's story, “The 12 Labors of Hercules” has been a story that I have been wanting to do for a while now but just haven't gotten to it. As you can see, there are so many books, but not enough times. This story was written by Thomas Bulfinch and comes from the book “The Junior Classics, Volume 2, Folk Tales and Myths.” Where you from...What book(s) are you reading?
