HERACLES / HERCULES. Known at the Greeks as Heracles and to the Romans as Hercules, he was a hero of epic proportions. As grandson of Perseus born of Alcmene and fathered by Zeus, who had disguised himself as her husband, Hercules was of divine blood.
The king of Tiryns was Eurystheus [You-RISS-theus]. Eurystheus had a reputation for being mean, and Hercules knew that the king would give him a tough time. The hero had to serve Eurystheus for twelve years while he performed the Labors.There was some good news, though. When the tasks were completed, Apollo said, Hercules would become immortal.ercules was both the most famous hero of ancient times and the most beloved. More stories were told about him than any other hero. Hercules was worshipped in many temples all over Greece and Rome.
