You've been told Romans!When the Silly History Boys need a hero, when the Silly History Boys need to fill a muscly heroic Greek shaped hole, they turn to Heracles.We shall be turning to our demi-god quite a few more laborious times over the coming season(s) dear listener.Get the stirring music going for this snappy origin story and lets hope it's more Johnson than SorboAll hail the Olympus Mons that is Scott Buckley for music fit for GodsPraise be to those shifty shape shifting sky gods over at ZapSplat for some cracking thunder and whatnotAnd manna from heaven to be showered upon Henry Mahy of Battleforge Productions for his track that we lovingly call "Awesome Achilles" and will never stop using (no matter how much he threatens us!
