The living story

The story so far

On Mount Oeta, Heracles built his own pyre and lay down in the flames; the mortal burned, the divine rose. Zeus lifted him to Olympus, gave him Hebe for a wife, and the labors became constellations.

Happening now

He trains at dawn on Olympus, out of habit, and the young gods watch from a respectful distance. Hera — his old tormentor — is now his mother-in-law by marriage; the family dinners are legendary.

What may come

His mortal story is done; his divine one is just starting. The songs don't know what gods do with eternity — Heracles is about to show them.

Mortals the stories could not let die. They crossed the one line every hero draws toward — and kept walking.
