Herc Beal knows who he's named after—a mythical hero—but he's no superhero. He's the smallest kid in his class.

After all, there are no Nemean Lions on Cape Cod—and not a single Hydra in sight.

Mythology gets real at Camp Hercules.... The last thing Logan wants to do with his entire summer is go to some fake mythology-themed camp, but that’s exactly what he’s stuck doing.

That can’t really be a Hydra, can it?

Aesop's Fables, or the Aesopica, is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. Of diverse origins, the stories associated with his name have descended to modern times through a number of sources and continue to be reinterpreted in different verbal registers and in popular as well as artistic media. The fables originally belonged to the oral tradition and were not collected for some three centuries after Aesop's death.

What's so extraordinary is not any one of these things.... It's all of them.
