WELCOME to Eric Kondratieff's web page(s) devoted to Herakles. This project is the byproduct of a graduate seminar at the University of Pennsylvania on Classical Mythology and Its Reception directed by Joe Farrell, Professor of Classical Studies, in the Spring term of 1998. As part of the seminar, each class member was assigned a god, goddess, or hero for investigation and presentation. Having been assigned Herakles, I found an enormous amount of material on Herakles, both ancient and modern. Unfortunately, most of this material can only be compiled by extensive searching through numerous data bases in various languages (most people would think to look for Herakles or Hercules, but Ercole or Melqart?). Worse still is the fact that the information, if you can access it, is not at all organized. I hope to have rectified both problems somewhat through the resources presented here. If you find these pages helpful, or if you have additional information that might fit within the parameters of this little site, please email me. Thanks.

UPDATE: As of this time (2004) I am no longer able to devote time to this particular site, so will no longer be updating it. I will leave it online, though, for those who may find the current assortment of material useful.
