The Life of Hercules
The most well-known character from ancient Greek mythology, Herakles, is known by his Roman name, Hercules. Zeus, the gods' king, and the human woman Alcmene were the parents of Hercules. Zeus, who was constantly pursuing women, assumed the guise of Alcmene's husband, Amphitryon, and paid the princess a visit one night in her bed. As a result, Hercules was born a demi-god with superhuman strength and endurance. Although he accomplished fantastic deeds, such as battling death and seeing the underworld twice, and his tales were spread throughout Greece and subsequently Rome, his life was anything but simple from the moment of his birth, and his interactions with other people were frequently disastrous. This was due to Hera's desire to kill Hercules after learning that he was her husband Zeus's son by a different woman. In actuality, he was given the name Alcaeus at birth and later changed it to Herakles, which means "Glory of Hera," denoting that he would gain notoriety as a result of his conflicts with the goddess.

The Egg
I have no doubt that my father was born to be a happy, caring person. He worked as a farmhand for Thomas Butterworth, whose property was close to the Ohio town of Bidwell, until he was thirty-four years old. He drove into town on Saturday nights with his own horse at the time to engage in some social interaction with other farm workers. He drank three glasses of beer in the city while loitering in Ben Head's bar, which was frequently packed on Saturday nights with travelling agricultural labourers. Glasses banged on the bar as songs were sung. Father drove home at ten o'clock over a lonely rural road, prepared his horse for the night, and then retired to bed, content in his place in life. At the moment, he had no intention of attempting to advance in society.

The Problem With a Fight Against Toxic Masculinity
Toxic masculinity has evolved over the past few years into a blanket defense of masculine aggression and misogyny. The word, which contrasts "toxic" characteristics like violence and entitlement from "healthy" masculinity, has gained popularity to the extent that Gillette last month included it in a widely shared commercial denouncing bullying and sexual harassment. The American Psychological Association released new recommendations for therapists dealing with boys and men around the same time, cautioning that severe manifestations of some "typical" masculine traits are connected to aggressiveness, misogyny, and detrimental health effects.
