Like many gods, Demi-gods and heroes, he has a story, 'The Story Of Heracles!' When Heracles was born, Hera was very jealous and tried many ways to kill him but he was to strong and prevented every attempt of his mother's evil ways of killing him. Zeus was very aware of threatened Heracles and moved him to a mortal family on Earth.
When Heracles was living on earth, his evil cousin Eura and his mother Hera, made up the 12 Labours that Heracles would have to complete in order to be granted immortality. However, Heracles was not a fool, he asked the Oracle of Delphi who agreed with this. Actually, the oracle said, "You will be granted immortality!" This hero did not know whether it would be immortality in legend or in real life.
Heracles not only lived, he had many great adventures as well. This was 'The Story Of Heracles!'
