Heracles - Hercules

cults3d

Hercules was the name in Roman mythology of the Greek mythological hero Heracles, being a metathesis of the Greek name. He was the son of Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Zeus, and the mortal Alcmene. He performed twelve great labors, called The Twelve Labors of Heracles, and was deified. The Romans adopted the Greek version of his life and labors without essential changes, but added anecdotal details of their own, some of them relating the hero to the geography of the western Mediterranean. The figure was found in Palencia.
