Today we’re hearing about the life of Telephus: The Early Years
There are quite a few variations of this myth regarding one of the sons of Heracles. And as is the case with most Greek myths, none of the versions are simple. However all of them involve some form of an adventure, so I guess that's a good thing.
Some link back to epic and other versions we have thanks to fragments of Greek Tragedy by great playwrights such as Euripides.
There’s also a slightly more horrible version of the story regarding Heracles and Auge and how Telephus is conceived…. But I don’t talk about that story in this video.
This story is a good example of how the children of Hercules were used by cities to solidify their Greek heritage and thus their legitimacy to rule, as we see in the tangent that I go on when I briefly discuss the city of Pergamon.
Повторяем попытку...
