WICHITA, KS, May 13, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tridium Press is pleased to announce that it will publish a new novel by Richard Bertematti entitled, THE HERACLIAD: THE EPIC SAGA OF HERCULES, in July 2014.

With two feature films this year, including the upcoming Hercules from Paramount/MGM, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, the timing is perfect for the publication of Bertematti's epic novel about the life and death of the famous Greek hero.

Bertematti said: "Most don't know that Hercules was the subject of more poetry, prose and art than any other ancient god or hero. Incredibly, not a single epic work about the legendary hero has come down to us...until now!"

THE HERACLIAD will be available in hardcover, paperback and ebook formats at publication. Readers will be able to purchase the book on Amazon, BN.com and from all major booksellers.

The novel has a dedicated website: www.mightyherculesbook.com
