Hercules:

i.e. Herakles,the greatest hero of Greekmythology,son of Zeus and Alcmena,who was perse-cuted by Hera from his cradle. But he grew up to bethe most valiant and accomplished man,and under-took a series of exploits,known as the twelve “La-bours of Hercules”. Once,as punishment of his insan-ity and murder,he was sold to Omphale,queen ofLydia,who forced him to put on women's clothes anddo menial work,spinning among her maids and turn-ing the spit in the kitchen. His death was caused by a garment stained with the poisoned blood of the cen-taur Nessus赫拉克勒斯，希腊神话中最伟大的英雄，宙斯和阿尔克墨涅所生的儿子。他一出生就受到宙斯妻子赫拉的迫害，屡遭磨难，但终于成为最勇敢而能干的人。他的一系列英雄事迹被称为“赫拉克勒斯的十二神功”。一次，他因疯狂杀了人，被罚卖身于吕底亚女王翁菲尔，翁菲尔命他穿上女人衣服做下贱的苦工，与婢女们一同纺线，在厨房里翻动烤肉叉等。他的死亡是因为穿上人马怪尼索斯给他的一件衣服而被后者的毒血所污染。
