Hercules was a divine hero in Greek mythology and the son of Zeus.
History[edit]
Homer told Bart the story of Hercules and the lion. The story was about a big mean lion who got a thorn in its paw. All the villagers tried to pull it out, but nobody was strong enough! So Hercules tried, and Hercules used his mighty strength, and he did it. The lion was so happy, it gave Hercules this big thing of riches. Bart asked Homer how a lion got rich, so Homer explained it was the olden days.[1]
Troy McClure played him in The Erotic Adventures of Hercules.[2]
When Homer and Bart made a film about the first Olympics, they said that Hercules (played by Ned Flanders) was in the original Olympics committee. In Lisa's movie about the Olympics, she proved them wrong.[3]

After Hera found out Zeus had an illegitimate son called Hercules, she gave Hercules twelve labors to complete. The first was to kill the Hydra, which grew two heads for everyone to cut off. Hercules defeated it by making it argue over who would rob him. Then he had to clean the Augean Stables, where he convinced a rich Greek that gold was worthless and that dung was valuable. He then dealt with the various creatures he was tasked to capture by getting Hermes to send the Grecian SPCA to catch them, since they did not have a license and may have been rabid. Hercules then returned to Hera with only 10 of the tasks complete. Hercules decided that Hera would suit Zeus' position much better, so she took this role, only to cause havoc to those down on Earth.[4]
