A retelling of the lives of Atlas and Heracles that discusses the different kinds of strength and the line between fate and free will. I loved the bits about Altas, hated the bits about Heracles (particularly the weird sexual tension between Heracles and Hera??), and didn’t quite get the bits where the book seemed to briefly turn into a memoir. A bit of a mixed bag but still worth reading.

sterreks's review against another edition
there was this guy who kept talking sexist and thought about raping women MORE THAN ZERO TIMES (you shouldn't think about raping anyone at all) and he killed multiple women because they didn't want to mate with him
