Basic info on Hercules
Hercules was the illegitimate son of Zeus and Alcmene (making him a Demi-God). Because of this Hera was enraged and hated Hercules. Hercules was famous for being very strong but he was also agile and intelligent.

Legend
Due to the fact that Hera hated Hercules so much she sent Hercules into a blind frenzy and killed all of his 6 children and wife. Once he reganed his sanity he went to a Oracle to see what he should do because he regreted what he had done. The Oracle told him to go and serve King Eurystheus of Mycenae for 12 years and do anything he asked of him. In return Hercules would become immortal. Eurystheus told him that he would give him 10 tasks and once he had done them he could leave.
