If you’re wanting something like the Song of Achilles or Circe, this is not the book for you. It’s a dark comedy of a book that makes Herc feel human even if he wasn’t wholy human. The language is modern because it’s for a modern audience to look at and go “Oh yeah like my messed up uncle. “ I really enjoyed it. The timeline of Herc’s life gets a little messy as the POVs of different people can make it confusing and too many people had ‘I’ names but that’s just Greek Myth for you.
