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.
According to the myth, there once was a king named Acrisius, who had a beautiful daughter named Danae. The Oracle of Apollo told Acrisius that there would come a day when Danae 's son would kill him; so he locked Danae in a bronze tower so that she would never marry or have children.ermes said that they were all siblings as Perseus was in fact the son of Zeus, so they would help him in his quest; so Hermes offered him his winged sandals and the sickle that was used by Cronus to castrate Uranus; while Athena gave him her shield, so that Perseus would not have to look straight into Medusa 's eyes.
