I want to chose one of the trials of Hercules to concentrate on
Try to fit in the ideas and theories from my research without losing the focus of the original story
Hydra
Original story
Accompanied by nephew, charioteer
Lured the hydra from its lair with fiery arrows
Hydra helped by giant crab
When one head was chopped off two more took its place
Did not get credit for the task because he had help
Some though it was over exaggerated and the hydra was a water snake
New
‘Go and get me some worms so I can go fishing’
‘Be Careful though they can get pretty big’ joking
Kid worried thinks about the giant worms
Teams up with imaginary friend to think of ways to complete the task
Imaginary friend proposes fantastical solutions
‘Hercules’ explores how the ideas would play out (badly)
They make a choice and go to catch the worms (hydra)
Confronting fears
Lure out worms
Find out they’re tiny (kind of cute)
Conflicted about using worms for fishing?
Claims she couldn’t find any worms?
Puts worms in a tank to keep as pets (play with scale)
Failed the labour/task?
