Heracles
In which Rats explore human antiquity
Good time of day, humans!
We take great interest in the deeds of the heroes of the past.
Some of the labors, such as stealing the golden apples of the Hesperides or stealing the mares of Diomedes, were probably made up by the opposing campaign.

Now, wouldn't that be something? Have the politicians do what they promised BEFORE they are nominated! If it is not done, or if they cannot do it, they cannot be nominated. Promising is easy, and before the election they all promise the people heaven on earth. And after the election they cause a war and send people's children to war - or poison them with all kinds of crap!
