One of the most recognised ancient Greek heroes is unquestionably Hercules. The son of Zeus, blessed with immense strength and unmistakable from the other heroes and demi-gods by the lion skin draped over his head and shoulders.This work explains how he acquired this lion skin during his first labour, which offered him protection from iron and bronze weapons, right up to his final labour, where he captured Cerberus, the three-headed dog, and rescued Theseus from Hades, and why he was forced to perform his Twelve Labours.
