Hercules's Task

What if the heroes, legends, and monsters of Greek mythology attended the same elementary school? Before the demigods became heroes and the monsters became feared, they had to navigate the ups and downs of childhood, together.

The School of Greatness mascot is missing! When Hercules volunteers to find him and return him to his cave, things don't go exactly as planned. Will the headstrong Hercules learn a little something about teamwork along the way and successfully complete his task?

Welcome to the School of Greatness,
A place where we can learn
To lead with both our heads and hearts,
And greatness we will earn!
