The song is ΜΗΠΩΣ ΕΙΜΑΙ ΤΡΕΛΟΣ - mipos eimai trelos (Maybe I am crazy) by Notis Sfakianakis (Νότης Σφακιανάκης)
Heracles (Ἡρακλῆς) is the archetype of manliness for ancient Greeks, especially Dorians like Leonidas king of Sparta and Philip II, king of Macedon.
The Twelve Labours of Herakles, the dodekathlos (ΔΩΔΕΚΑΘΛΟΣ ), were a series of deeds Heracles had to perform to redeem himself after he murdered his wife Megara in a fit of madness. They are rich in meaning, so I decided to make videos about them. Part 1 includes the first four labours:
1) to kill the Nemean Lion
2) to kill the Hydra
3) to capture the Golden Stag of Artemis
4) to capture the Erymanthian Boar
Polydamas of Skotusa used to emulate Hercules as well and eventually, like Milo, he paid with his life for his vanity, though under more honourable circumstances: he thought he could hold the crumbling celling of a cave during an earthquake, but he failed; he did buy his friends time to save themselves, however.

Milon of Croton used to emulate Heracles as well. He wore a lion skin, curried a club and wandered around displaying his strength. But eventually he was eaten by some wolves LOL

Labour είναι ο άθλος στα Αγγλικά?
Και εγώ νόμιζα πως ήταν deed :).
Τι μαθαίνει κανείς κάθε μέρα.
