What does it take to be a hero? Is it strength, sacrifice, or something deeper? In this episode, we dive into the epic tale of Heracles—the mythic Greek hero who slayed monsters, battled gods, and completed the impossible Twelve Labours.

From facing the terrifying Hydra to conquering the Underworld itself, Heracles' journey is as much about perseverance and self-reflection as it is about raw strength. Yet, beneath the glory lies a tragic twist: his quest for immortality comes with a brutal price.
