Hercules

You never have to look very far to find evidence of our classical heritage.

Winter storms have classical names this season; in fact, Winter Storm Hercules just hit a couple of days ago.

And speaking of Hercules, there is a new Hercules film coming out later this week . . . only to be followed by another Hercules film this summer.
