Hercules is a legendary Greek hero known for his strength and courage. He was the son of Zeus and Alcmene, making him half-god and half-human. Hercules' most famous feat was completing the Twelve Labors, which included slaying the nine-headed Hydra, capturing Cerberus from the underworld, and cleaning out the Augean stables in one day. After completing these tasks he became a god himself. It also fought in many battles against monsters such as Geryon and Diomedes' horses. He is often depicted as a strong muscular man wearing lion skin or carrying a club. His legacy lives on today through stories, movies, books, artworks and more that celebrate his courage and strength even centuries later.
