Read and Look | Strong Stuff: Herakles and His Labors
Advertisement
Herakles was one of the greatest of all Greek heroes, and his exploits have been celebrated in paintings, songs, poetry, and sculpture for thousands of years. Written by John Harris and illustrated by artist Gary Baseman, “Strong Stuff” tells the amazing stories of the Stymphalian Birds (defeated by crashing cymbals), creepy King Geryon (with three heads AND three bodies), the Augean Stables (don’t ask), and nine other labors that Herakles performed. This is a one-of-a-kind account of the great mythological hero in action.
Our Read and Look program focuses on archaeology and history for our littlest audience (recommended for ages 4–8). All children must be accompanied by an adult.
