Herakles inside and outside the Church: from the first apologists to the end of the Quattrocentro is about the reception of the Greek hero Herakles (the Roman Hercules) in the first four centuries CE. The contributions in this edited volume provide snapshots of how Herakles was reworked to fit the context of different movements and ideas for primarily the Greco-Romans and early Christians. These contributions are categorized into four topics – (1) Making Connections: The Early Years, (2) Appropriation: Verbal, (3) Appropriation: Visual, and (4) Beyond the Church. The work starts with a great foreword and introduction by Emma Stafford and Arlene Allan, respectively, who set the stage in summarizing Herakles regarding his twelve labors, the earliest sources on him, and the current state of the field regarding his reception. This volume is one of four to be published by the Metaforms series and Brill on the reception of Herakles-Hercules, and the contributors do a good job demonstrating the need for such scholarship.

"Herakles Inside and Outside the Church: from the first Apologists to the Quattrocento explores the reception of the ancient Greek hero Herakles (the Roman Hercules) in the predominantly Christian cultures which succeeded classical antiquity in Europe. Each chapter takes a particular literary or visual incarnation, grappling with the question of the hero's significance within the early Church, in less formal contexts, and beyond Christendom in his unexpected role as Buddha's companion in Gandharan art. The volume is one of four to be published in the Metaforms series examining the extraordinarily persistent role of Herakles-Hercules in western culture up to the present day, drawing together scholars from a range of disciplines to offer a unique insight into the hero's perennial appeal".
