Mythology by Edith Hamilton Project

first of all I read this book and it was great but my summer work to go along with it is a "drag" and I have some questions I'm hoping some of you could help me with.

1. What would you say is the Theme of Hercules?
2. What would be a good symbolic representation of the myth Hercules?
3.Main elements of plot of hercules

The actual project is to create a "visual project" of one myth out of the book. Instructions are very vague (which makes it harder) It basically says do it how you want but include all the stuff from the rubric which follows...

Title page and symbolic representation ~ 10 pts.

Theme of myth ~ 10 pts

3 adjectives describing protagonist and 3 symbolic representations of protagonist ~ 10 pts

Main elements of plot ~ no pts listed..strange

At least 3 connections to othwer works, history, or real life~ no pts listed again...stupid teacher

an example of diction, detail, imagery, and point of view with thier effect ~ 5 pts each

a word describing novel's tone ~ 5pts

grammatically/mechanical correct ~ 10 pts

The main ones I need help with or the 3 I listed but help with the others are welcomed (I'm hating English II and it hasnt started and btw I'm taking this in the 9th so its gonna be even harder..).

I know it seems like I'm asking a lot but help please!
