Drawing on literary, historical, and archaeological evidence, this book examines the obscure myth of Hercules at Rome, an enduring and intriguing element within Roman mythology.

By dissecting the myth into its various mythical and historical elements, the author demonstrates how, through Roman antiquarians, historians, and poets, diverse stories evolved into a unified and captivating account.
