Hercules - son of Zeus and champion of humankind - stricken with a temporary curse of madness, has just committed the most unspeakable crime imaginable. Seeking to atone for the deaths of his family, Hercules must complete twelve impossible tasks that pit him against invincible monsters and unfathomable forces. Alex Gendler retells this epic series of adventures.
Lesson by Alex Gendler, directed by Jérémie Balais & Jeff Le Bars.

    Trust me, speaking English is worth it. There’s lots of fun stuff you can do with it. You can make any noun a verb for instance. It’s not a formal grammar rule but you can do it. Edit: thought an example could be fun. An example of making a noun a verb could be “I can’t language well.”

    I had this as a video game concept for a while now called 12 labors where the gameplay is like Castlevania and ghost and goblins and the main way to enter a stage is by looking at a statute of a labor like the nemean lion down in eurithyus's dungeon, while the hub world is eurithyus's castle, and you would sometimes fight a mini boss before the real boss like in the hydra stage were you fight the crab first before the hydra, and the final boss would be hera as she teleports you to Olympus ( other game ideas I had are called sinner's quest and burger man )

    Hera sort of took over from Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, family, and domesticity. She was the eldest sister of Zeus, an awesome god who was kind to everyone (so even Hades would listen to her) but became obscure when she gave up her seat to Dionysus to keep them from fighting again, according to rumour. Hestia is probs best girl that noone knows about.
