Every weekday, we recommend a podcast related to a movie or TV show you can watch at home: Of all the mythological figures of Ancient Greece, none has maintained as much prominence as Hercules—the demigod gifted with super strength. While many of us know of Hercules's feats, his childhood and early life were defined by drastic mistakes and their gruesome consequences. For more episodes like this one, subscribe to Mythology on Spotify. The film Hercules is now available to stream!
