The Twelve Labors of Heracles

Heracles (Hercules in Roman myth), son of Zeus and a mortal woman, was known for his unmatched strength and heroic heart. After being driven mad by Hera and committing a tragic crime, he sought redemption by completing twelve impossible labors, including slaying the Nemean Lion, capturing the Erymanthian Boar, and retrieving the Golden Apples of the Hesperides. These trials tested his courage, endurance, and cleverness. His story is one of atonement, glory, and the heroic struggle against fate, earning him immortality and a place among the gods.
