Each hero like Hercules had unique characteristics. Hercules had certain characteristics through his whole life like Born into Royalty, Amazing Feats at Young Age, going on quests, Travel to the Underworld, and Marry a Princess.

His stories are still told today and Greece and Rome. “Hercules was said to be one of the most important figures of Greek and Roman Mythology and one of the strongest hero’s.” (mythweb.com) Hercules had a very interesting youth at young age. When Hercules was young Hera his stepmother was jealous of him. Hercules was little he was sleeping in his bed and two snakes came in and tried to bite him. Hercules grabbed them by their necks and strangled them. One day as Hercules was walking he meet two women and they told him we would have a good future and he would be something wonderful when he got older.(e.g. Delphi Oracle) As Hercules was little his father Zeus knew great deeds about him. Hercules had a horse with wings which his name was Pegasus. When Hercules was in his teenage years Pegasus would bring him to places like King Eurystheus. Hercules was told he had amazing strength for a young age and which it would bring great help one day. Hercules was sometimes said to be too dangerous for people but other times he was said to be a great thing in Greece society. In his teenager years Hercules was stronger than strong. He would do anything you asked him to do and he would do it with his amazing strength. Hercules was great in many ways as child and a teenager and he should many different ways of strength and helped many people who needed help. “Hercules was a strong baby and teenager and he was the nicest child and would do anything for you!” (Notes)

Hera sent Hercules mad and he killed his wife Megara and his two kids. Hercules now had to go through 12 Labors and the first was the Nemean Lion which he killed with his hands. The second labor was to kill the Hydra. Once he chopped one head 3 more would grow back in its place, after he chopped one off his nephew would take a torch and burn the head. Labor 3 was The Ceynitian Hind and the forth labor was The Erymanthian Boar. The Ceynitian was Artemis deer which she was not very happy about! The boar was an easy task for Hercules he took it by its tale and swung him like a baseball bat. Hercules had to do very hard thinking for some of the labors especially for the fifth labor which was to clean out the Augean stables. Hercules knocked down 2 parts of the stable and put two rivers together and made them flow downhill try clean the stable. The sixth and seventh labors were Eliminate the Stymphalian Birds and Deliver the Cretan Bull to King Eurystheus. He did these two labors by first getting a brass from Athena that sounded like cymbals. Hercules banged them together and the birds flew off and Hercules shot them. For the seventh labor he captured the bull and brought it to King Eurystheus. Hercules had five more labors which are Capture the Wild Mare of Diomedes, Bring back the Belt of Hippolyta, Battle of the Monster Geryon, Fetch the Golden Apples of the Hesperides, and the last labor was to Go Down to Hades and Fetch up Cerberus the three headed dog. He used special tasks, was strong, and had military skills. Each labor represented something like mankind animal instinct, foul side of human nature, and mankind’s unreachable goals. “Hercules was so strong that nothing can stop him and he was hard to beat and he would sacrifice his life after what he done.” (Notes and PowerPoint) Hercules has unique characteristics like every hero does.

Hercules went on a quest as fighting a monster or righting a wrong. This is because he wants his name to live forever. The sixth characteristic is Traveling to the Underworld. On Hercules 12th Labor he had to go down to Hades and kill the three headed dog Cerberus. The last characteristic is Marrying a Princess. Hercules married Megara and had two kids with her. “Hercules had many characteristics and he lived with them and has many more to come!” (Notes) Hercules went through his 12 Labors which some were hard and some were easy tasks. Hercules was strong and full of endurance. Hercules has many more characteristics than Marrying a Princess.
