Hercules by Brett Myers

Reason #1 Hercules never gives up even when times are hard! First of all, his mother was selfish. She did not want him to be as strong as her and Zeus. So, she drove him mad with a spell. The spell made him do very bad things, like break cities, burn buildings, and other horrible things. But, one day, he woke up from the spell. So, he asked his father Zeus to have a chance to be a God again. Most people would just give up, but not Hercules! He was too determined. This is the first reason that I think Hercules is the best myth.

Reason #2 Hercules is very brave. Have you ever heard of a Herculean effort? This expression is used to describe some feats that Hercules accomplished with his bravery and strength. This is something I admire. For example, he beat two of the hardest things he could ever defeat: the hydra and the hundred-headed dragon. This shows he was brave enough to go fight those monsters…AND he had to give a great effort to defeat them. In my opinion, I thing he was brave, and I like to read about brave characters.

Conclusion As you can see, I have two important reasons why I think Hercules is the best Greek Myth. If you like to read about characters who are brave and determined, I know you will like this myth, too. This is why I like the Greek myth Hercules. Do you agree with me?
