In this video I am in the Wilhelmshöhe Park, located in the city of Kassel, Germany. In this park there is a statue of the divine hero Heracles. Hercules is known for his many adventures, which took him to the far reaches of the Greco-Roman world. A list of his labours is as follows:
- Slay the Nemean Lion.
- Slay the nine-headed Lernaean Hydra.
- Capture the Golden Hind of Artemis.
- Capture the Erymanthian Boar.
- Clean the Augean stables in a single day.
- Slay the Stymphalian Birds.
- Capture the Cretan Bull.
- Steal the Mares of Diomedes.
- Obtain the girdle of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons.
- Obtain the cattle of the monster Geryon.
- Steal the apples of the Hesperides.
- Capture and bring back Cerberus.
In the video I tell a little about this history and make a parallel with a Brazilian musical genre: the Frevo.
