'Take this Hercules — this hero! Hero, indeed! What was he but a large muscular creature of low intelligence and criminal tendencies?'

In appearance, Hercule Poirot hardly resembled an ancient Greek hero. Yet — reasoned the detective — like Hercules, he had been responsible for ridding society of some of its most unpleasant monsters. 

So, in the period leading up to his retirement, Poirot made up his mind to accept just twelve more cases: his self-imposed 'Labours'. Each would go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.
