Time again for Hercules - or why Greece needs a superhero

THIS weekend, the Greeks will have their sixth election in eight years, contemplating the dichotomous needs of economic change and social recovery. Although the Greeks and the European Union (EU) have argued again and again in 2015, culminating in yet another debt bailout, and kissed and made up, the Greek nation has a series of labours which it must once and for all address . . . so where is Hercules when they need him again?

In times of old, Hercules performed a series of labours in order to atone for prior misdemeanours at the instruction of the king of the time, Eurystheus. They were to make amends for the infidelities of his father, Zeus, in the eyes of Hera, Zeus's wife, who also interfered and generally made harder nearly all the labours.

So what labours would a latter-day Hercules perform to save Greece?
