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 twelve labours of Heracles or Hercules (Greek: Î¿á¼± á¼¡ÏÎ±ÎºÎ»Î­Î¿ÏÏ á¼Î¸Î»Î¿Î¹, hoi HÄrakleous athloi) are a series of episodes concerning a penance carried out by Heracles, the greatest of the Greek heroes, whose name was later Romanised as Hercules. They were accomplished over 12 years at the service of King Eurystheus.The episodes were later connected by a continuous narrative. The establishment of a fixed cycle of twelve labours was attributed by the Greeks to an epic poem, now lost, written by Peisander, dated about 600 BC.hey were accomplished over 12 years at the service of King Eurystheus.
