In the Life of Pi book, characterization is one of the main focuses of

    myth of Herakles is the Greek version of Hercules (Roman version) and as his name suggests, he is the “Gift of Hera”. This means that they are virtually one and the same, Herakles and Hercules.

    One of the most interesting things to me in the book of Judges, are the parallels between the men and woman, and Jesus. What they were called to do, what they did, and the consequences of those actions foreshadowed what occurred with Jesus (Clowney, 2013, p. 141, 146-147).

His weakness and immorality caused him many problems, but he was still able
