I created this blog to record my thoughts, impressions and journey as I learn more about Herakles. As far as deities (and heroes) go, Herakles was never on my radar before. Recently, though, I started to read about him and realized he was not only a fascinating figure, but pretty awesome in his own right. I decided to delve deeper into things and thought a blog to record my journey would be a nice idea. That about sums it up!
Oh and the blog title Hêrakleion means "temple of Herakles."
