FYI


Hercules (also known as Alcides) was the name in Roman mythology of the hero Heracles from Greek mythology, the Roman name being a metathesis of the Greek name. He is the son of Jupiter (also known as Jove), the Roman counterpart to the Greek god Zeus and the mortal Alcmene. Hercules made the choice of a life of virtue offered to him by Athene, in preference to a life of pleasure offered by Aphrodite, in his youth. He was made to perform twelve great tasks, called The Twelve Labours of Hercules and became a god; the Romans adopted the Greek version of his life and works essentially unchanged.


Hercules can be identified by his attributes, the lionskin and the club. He is often compared to the biblical strong man Samson, who also possessed vast superhuman strength and performed similar feats such as wrestling a lion.


The later Roman Emperors, in particular Commodus and Maximinus, often identified or compared themselves with Hercules.


Origin of the legend

The cult of Hercules may have been the first foreign one to be adopted in Rome; his most important shrine, the Ara Maxima, was in the original Palatine settlement. He became popular with merchants, who customarily paid him a tithe of their profits.


A mosaic discovered in the ruins of Pompeii vividly depicts Hercules as a black man.


Hercules is said to have founded an altar where the Forum Boarium, the cattle market, was later held.


There is also an ancient tradition of killing a lion to earn entry into manhood among the Maasai, who are further reknown for their deeply-rooted tradition of cattle-grazing. But no firm connection between the Maasai and the legend of Hercules has ever been established.
