Hercules (who was also known as Heracles), was the son of Zeus and Alcmene, the wife of Amphitryon. As a father, Zeus had great hopes for his offspring. Hercules could only be a champion in his service to his family and the world.
Hercules demonstrated his strength right from birth. He choked the serpents that had been sent to him by the jealous Hera.Hercules was educated by Linus, the musician. He learned literature and music but was found to be a mischievous student. When Linus wanted to beat him one day, Hercules grabbed a stool and hit Linus with it, killing him. At his trial, Hercules was acquitted on the grounds that he was only defending himself. Amphitryon feared his adopted son (most likely due to his strength) and sent him to a Scythian cattleman, Teutarus, who taught Hercules archery.
At the age of eighteen, Hercules spent fifty days trying to kill the lion of Cithaeron. Each night he returned to the palace of King Thespius. Because King Thespius wanted to have Hercules father his grand-children, he put one of his fifty daughters in Hercules' bed each night. Hercules had fifty sons.
Eurystheus sent Hercules on a mission over his twelve years of servitude, a mission with twelve labours. On his mission of twelve labours, he strangled the Nemean lion and made himself armour from the hide. Secondly, he cut off the many heads of the Lernaean Hydra and brought back the enormous Erymanthian Boar alive. With his arrows, he shot down the many birds of the Stymphalian Marsh who raided the crops and killed men. Hercules retrieved the golden apples from the Garden of the Hesperides, challenging the giant, Antaeus, the Pygmies and the dragon, Ladon, and freeing Prometheus on the way. Lastly, from Hades, he brought Cerberus, the dog who defended the gates of Hades.
When he returned back to Eurystheus, he brought back the results of each labour to Eurystheus.
It is impossible to list all the feats that Hercules achieved. Hercules travelled everywhere, including the depths of hell. He stood up to the forces of a different kind and succeeded in injuring Hades and Hera with his arrows. Because of his feats, he was considered a superhuman, conceivably already a god.
