Heracles a hero from the Greek mythology.
              Strongest of all mortals.
 Famous for his courage, ingenuity, and sexual
     progress with both males and females.
 Offsetting his strength was a noticeable lack of
                    intelligence.
     Portrayed in the Roman and the Greek
        mythology with different names.
  Killed many monsters that were hard to kill
during his lifetime for example the Nemean Lion
who had a hide that could not be pierced by any
weapon but Heracles managed to kill it with his
                    bare hands.
The son of Zeus and Alcmene, not Zeus wife.
Zeus wife Hera was angry because she didn’t wanted Zeus to have
children with other women
 She sent two huge snakes to strangle Heracles but she failed.

   He married a girl called Megara. He had a lot of children and
    some of them became very sucessful like Telephus, king of Mysia
    (by Augee), and Tlepolemus, one of the Greek commanders in the
    Trojan War.
   He won many honorable fights against a plethora of creatures but
    Heracles died at last of the poison of a hydra
   Heracles is always portrayed naked with a lot of muscles in art.
   He is often seen with a club which was his favorite weapon.
   also be seen with other weapons like swords and spears.
   Two stories about this character one from Greece and one form the
    Roman empire. The Greek story is the original story and is one of
    the most famous characters in the mythology.
   Heracles is named Hercules in the roman mythology and was the son of
    Jupiter. There are several myths about Hercules who is distinctly Roman
    for example the capture of the Cretan bull and the slaughter of the
    Cerynian Hind but the story of Hercules is based on the Greek one. They
    have just changed the Greek names to roman names like Zeus to Jupiter
    and Hera to Juno.
