Hercules combatant Achelous." The group of stars that represented the firgure of heracles

A little over two thousand years ago, Greek people believed that a group of stars represented the figure of Heracles, the most famous Greek hero. The ancient Romans called him Hercules. Heracles was a courageous and strong man. Unfortunately, Heracles had a terrible enemy: the goddess Hera. Hera was so annoyed by Heracles' strength and fame that she cast a spell over him. As a result, he committed a terrible crime. Seeking forgiveness, Heracles was told to perform twelve very difficult tasks for the king, Eurystheus. Hercules completed the twelve tasks, using his great strength. He has been famous for this ever since.



Hercules had many homes such as Thebes, Boeotia where he was born Hercules lived there until he killed his children. He also lived in Tiryns, Argolis while he was performing the twelve labours. He lived in Lydia as a slave of Omphale. Then when Hercules was banished from Tiryns he stayed in Tegea, Arcadia. Hercules married Deianeira in Calydon, Aetolia. His last home was Trachis, Trachinia.

__These were the twelve labours __ 1. Conquer and deliver the Nemean Lion, a monstrous feline. 2. Kill the multiheaded Hydra. 3. Bring back, dead or alive, the Cerynitian Hind, a ravaging deer. 4. Catch the Erymanthian Boar. 5. Clean out the massive stables of Augeas, perhaps the most famous of the Labors. 6. Scare off and kill the metal-feathered Stymphalian birds. 7. Capture the Cretan Bull. 8. Do something about those pesky man-eating Mares of Diomedes (he moved them and released them.) 9. Get the Girdle of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons (she gave it to him peacefully, which enraged Hera, who arranged for the rest of the Amazons to attack Hercules; in the mess that followed, Hippolyta was killed by Hercules.) 10. Steal the cattle of Geryon.  11. Bring back the Golden Apples of the Hesperides. 12. Go down to the Underworld and bring back multi-headed Cerberus, chief Hound of Hades.

__ A little about his power __ In all of the movies and books it always seemed as if he had only had one power. This god-like power is incredible strength. His appearance was strong and welcoming.
