Professor Galinsky’s “Herakles Theme” provides a survey both descriptive and analytical, of the most significant adaptations of Herakles in western literature, from Homer to present day, with particular emphasis upon the more original and creative portraits of the hero.

I just started reading The Herakles Theme (1972), and the author mentions it was influenced by a previous book, so I figured I would add it here as well.
