Why is there a street called “Hercules St” in Ashfield?
It’s not just a name—it’s a journey from Greek mythology to roast duck.
đź’Ş Named after the legendary hero from Greek myths,
🏛️ Inspired by 19th-century naming trends in colonial Sydney,
🍜 And now home to some of Ashfield’s best Asian food.
Next time you walk down Hercules St,
remember—you’re walking between mythology and milk tea.
