In the time when the Earth was still new, the very difficult, the impossible tasks were done by heroes. And among them, the first hero was Hercules – and the first hunter in the world, since he caught the Ceryneian Hind, as fast as lightning, at a time when animals were not just animals, but gods, monsters, kings, earthquakes, beauties and fears, seas and rivers, darkness and stars. The Mythological Tales series attempts a new "reading" of ancient Greek myths. They are not old, oft-told stories of forgotten gods, but exciting action tales, through which all the timeless human adventures, fears, and joys that have marked and still mark the human soul unfold.
