The Heraclids - family of killing people accidentally.

Apparently, Heracles' solution to most any obstacle, i.e. mostly random dudes, is "to kill them also" (recurring phrase right there!). The matter-of-fact style of the Library is making this somewhat darkly hilarious tbh.

I think so far one of the most common thoughts I had reading Heracles' later story would have to be "what a dick"

It's quite exhausting to read what with all the names and genealogies and notes but also sort of fun to finally read some original(ish) Greek mythology. It lets you discover quite some etymological trivia.
