Description

"In the tradition of Mary Renault, history and myth have been interwoven together to present a new and unforgettable account of the story of Heracles, the greatest of the Greek heroes. This is an epic tale of a mighty man and his legendary labours which took him to strange and distant lands to perform feats of strength, endurance and courage which have never been equalled in fact or fiction. "The Last Heracles" is a story of classic wonder and adventure, a saga of prophecies and quests, of blind devotion and loyalty, of treachery and doom, of kingdoms overthrown by war. It is a story told by Iphicles, the brother of Heracles, who loved and followed him until the end.And to a scarcely lesser extent it is Iphicles" story too, for his devotion adds a new dimension of tenderness to this record of heroism. Heracles" Greece is the Greece where gods walked and heroes sang.All deeds, whether wicked or great, were larger than life and Georgia Sallaska"s evident love of her subject and knowledge of it, plus the richness of her imagination, combine to bring to life the splendour, brutality and high drama of this fabled past. er"."
