History

Born to Zeus and Alcmene, Hercules was a demi-god of Greek mythology and one of the most popular heroes in history. Traditionally known as Heracles, his name was modified to Hercules by Rome and the West in general. Hercules remains one of the most well-known Greek heroes in the modern age, thanks in part to his numerous depictions in pop culture. This includes the 1997 animated Disney film as well as the 2014 live-action epic starring Dwayne Johnson.
