Order Prints of "When milk runs dry"

Hercules was the son of Zeus from a mortal woman. Because he was born from a mortal he would not have any

special powers. Zeus came up with a plan. If Hercules could drink milk from Hera’s breast (queen of the gods),

he could become godlike. So Zeus placed the baby on Hera while she slept. Hercules began to drink her milk.

When she woke she flung Hercules from her back down to earth. Her breast milk spilled out creating the Milky

Way we see when looking up in the night sky. And a few drops fell to earth creating the beautiful Calla Lilly.
