Also in many myths, it was predicted by Zeus that Hercules would one day rule over Greece (“Hercules”).

    Coloring the Mandala was a lot of fun! I work with kids and I color these all the time with them. I also use to color these a lot when I was a child. It felt very relaxing. It was almost as if I was meditating. I allowed myself to completely forget about anything else I had to do and to just focus on coloring the mandala.I put on some music and just began coloring. It was very easy to do. Coloring and painting is something I really enjoy doing so having to color a mandala was more fun than it was work. I did not feel like I had to force myself to complete it. This did not feel like an assignment. Many thoughts went through my head while I was coloring. I spent a lot of time debating on what colors to use. I decided to make it pretty bring and wanted it to really have a…
