One of the greatest heroes of ancient Greek mythology, Heracles, better known by his Roman name Hercules, was supposedly the strongest man on earth. The son of Zeus—the ruler of the Greek gods—and a human mother, Hercules won fame for completing twelve seemingly impossible tasks, known as the “Labors of Hercules.” Different versions of the Hercules legend entered the mythology of various ancient cultures who came into contact with the Greeks, including the Romans, Egyptians, Hindus, and Phoenicians.Hercules was worshiped by the Greeks as both a god and as a mortal hero. He is usually represented as strong and muscular, clad in a lion skin and carrying a club.
