The Labors of Hercules

b'GamerDude has talked about the story books he grew up with, and read The Knights of The Silver Shield from the "My Bookhouse" series in Season One.\\xa0 This week, he dips back into Bookhouse for the classic Greek myth about Hercules. This version of The Labors of Hercules is not attributed to any particular author; it just appears in "My Bookhouse" as "A Greek Myth." As you listen to the story, you\'re likely to hear some similarities in plot, in quest, and in beast to other movies, games and stories you\'ve heard or played. Many of the names will also be familiar, from Pluto to Diana to the guardian dog of the Underworld (no spoilers, but it\'s a good one!) You\'ll also see the chain of quests Hercules must perform, along with the sub-quests, and the side quests the main quest spawns. As you\'ll hear, many of standard features of story-telling, and gaming, that we have today have their origins in tales that are, quite literally, thousands of years old. So sit back, and enjoy!'
