The demi-god Hercules was regarded as a great hero for the people of Rome and Greece. He was known for performing various deeds that no mortal could. Hercules was an everyman who had bad days and even died due to another's trickery. These stories were entertaining, but they also told an important lesson to an audience: If bad things can happen to a hero, they have nothing to be ashamed of.

The most famous of his activities was the 12 labours that Hercules was asked to perform by his cousin Eurystheus, who was the king of Mycenae and Tiryns. The first set of labours numbered only ten, but they eventually grew to twelve.

To kill the Nemean Lion who was impervious to all weapons. 
To kill the monster known as the Hydra who had nine venomous heads and, when one was cut off, two more would grow in its place. 
To capture the Cerynitian Hind who was sacred to the goddess Artemis.
To capture the Erymanthian Boar. 
Cleaning the Stables of Augeius in a day.
To drive away the Stymphalian Birds.
To bring back the Cretan Bull from Knossos.
To bring back the Mares of Diomedes.
To bring back Hippolyte's Girdle.
To bring back the cattle of Geryon, king of Cadiz.
To bring back the Golden Apples of Hesperides.
