Description
Une collection se proposant de faire découvrir aux jeunes lecteurs des héros mythiques ayant marqué l'histoire, la littérature et l'imaginaire collectif, de l'Antiquité au Moyen Âge. Dans cet opus: poursuivi par la jalousie meurtrière de la déesse Héra, qui ne voit en lui que le fruit de l'adultère commis par Zeus à son égard, Hercule tue son épouse et ses fils dans un moment de folie. Afin d'expier sa faute, il effectue ensuite une véritable descente aux Enfers, surmontant en route douze épreuves qui lui ouvrent enfin les portes de l'Olympe. Les lecteurs suivent ainsi le célèbre héros de la mythologie gréco-romaine dans son combat contre le lion de Némée, l'hydre de Lerne, les juments de Diomède, la biche de Cérynie, le sanglier d'Érymanthe ou encore le taureau de Crète. [SDM]. Scindé en de courts chapitres abondamment dialogués et narrés dans une langue contemporaine, alerte et quelque peu familière, un roman de lecture facile qui constitue une bonne introduction à une figure incontournable de la mythologie grecque. [SDM].
