{"product_id":"2940157563974","title":"My Young Alcides","description":"the gaining of the fruit of life; immediately followed by the victory over the hell-hound of death; and lastly, the attainment of immortality--all seem no fortuitous imagination, but one of those when \"thoughts beyond their thoughts to those old bards were given.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have not followed all these meanings, for this is not an allegory, but a mere distant following rather of the spirit than the letter of the old Greek tale of the Twelve Tasks. Neither have I adhered to every incident of Hercules' life; and the most touching and beautiful of all--the rescue of Alcestis, would hardly bear to come in merely as an episode, in this weak and presumptuous endeavour to show that the half-divine, patient conqueror is not merely a classic invention, but that he and his labours belong in some form or other to all times and all surroundings.","brand":"Dons Ebooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122795135216,"sku":"2940157563974","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157563974_p0.jpg?v=1764132178","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157563974","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
