Adorations to Herakles

Originally posted on my other blog, Dua Khonsu. See: For the Theban Three...: Adorations - Herakles. I'll leave it there, because some links would go dead if I deleted it, but I thought I should post it here as well.


This post is off-topic, but I don't have another active blog to post this on at the moment. I have been reading about Herakles lately and learning about him. I don't have a relationship with him or any experiences yet, but I have, in my research, come across many epithets and descriptions about him that I thought could be written into this--
