Description
Hercules’ myth is discussed on the ground of selected psychological and pedagogical theories. The hero is compared with other characters along with pros and cons of their use as models in psycho-educational situations. The author reflects on possible applications of Hercules’ Twelve Labours cycle in clinical and educational contexts, and particularly in cases such as disruptive behaviours and conduct problems.
