<p><b>''Fans of Anne Carson, rejoice!... Carson''s depth of knowledge about Greek mythology coupled with her poetic sensibility and illustrations is sure to breathe new life into this oft-told story.''<i> Lit Hub</i></b><br><br><i>H of H Playbook</i> is an explosion of thought, in drawings and language, about a Greek tragedy called <i>Herakles </i>by the 5th-century BC poet Euripides. In myth Herakles is an embodiment of manly violence who returns home after years of making war on enemies and monsters (his famous "Labours of Herakles") to find he cannot adapt himself to a life of peacetime domesticity.

It remains for the reader to judge this redemptive outcome.<br><br>"I think there is no such thing as an innocent landscap
