Geocache Description:


 

Hercules is the Roman adaptation of the Greek divine hero Heracles, who was the son of Zeus (Roman equivalent Jupiter) and the mortal Alcmene. In classical mythology, Hercules is famous for his strength and for his numerous far-ranging adventures.

The Romans adapted the Greek hero's iconography and myths for their literature and art under the name Hercules. In later Western art and literature and in popular culture, Hercules is more commonly used than Heracles as the name of the hero. Hercules was a multifaceted figure with contradictory characteristics, which enabled later artists and writers to pick and choose how to represent him.

Hercules is known for his many adventures, which took him to the far reaches of the Greco-Roman world. One cycle of these adventures became canonical as the "Twelve Labours", but the list has variations.

I guess since “we”, Collectively as cachers, are a modern day Hercules.. this ‘sport’ takes us on many adventures, some being far away lands, others being the far reaches of the woods, or outskirts of a town we may have never otherwise visited. Ahh-- “the Labours of Caching”!

 

There is a higher muggle factor here due to the business to the front having delivery drivers in and out, but it is more hidden from the full openness of the parking lot and surrounding businesses. This is a micro so BYOP!
