Drawing upon mythology, ancient religion, sacred geography, hero cult traditions, and historical interpretation, HERACLES investigates how the hero became connected to regional identity, sacred landscapes, civilisation, and the boundary between mortal and divine throughout ancient Greece.

The volume forms part of Peta Oakes' broader mythology and sacred cosmology catalogue, which explores comparative mythology, ancient religion, heroic literature, sacred symbolism, and the enduring cultural memory of the ancient world.

Readers interested in Greek mythology, ancient history, hero cults, sacred tradition, and classical civilisation may find particular interest in this latest release.
