A bit /too/ condensed for my taste. Each labor was basically - receive labor, solve problem, knew labor - no depth of any kind to speak of. It also seemed to be missing part of the conclusion; Hercules was bored so the oracle told him to complete 12 labors for the king. He completes the tasks but he learns no lesson and he even gets out of doing an extra task, so they obviously weren't to his liking. One final knitpick - I am absolutely SICK of authors using all the Greek names but then saying "Hercules;" Hercules is his ROMAN name. "Heracles" is his proper Greek name; either stick with the Greek or the Roman; don't switch back and forth willy-nilly. ( )
