Hercules ( /ˈhɜːrkjuliːz , -jə-/ ) is a Roman hero and god . He was the Roman equivalent of the Greek divine hero Heracles , who was the son of Zeus ( Roman equivalent Jupiter ) and the mortal Alcmene . In classical mythology , Hercules is famous for his strength and for his numerous far-ranging adventures . The Romans adapted the Greek hero 's iconography and myths for their literature and art under the name Hercules . In later Western art and literature and in popular culture , Hercules is more commonly used than Heracles as the name of the hero . Hercules was a multifaceted figure with contradictory characteristics , which enabled later artists and writers to pick and choose how to represent him . This article provides an introduction to representations of Hercules in the later tradition .
Roman mythology is the body of traditional stories pertaining to ancient Rome 's legendary origins and religious system , as represented in the literature and visual arts of the Romans . Roman mythology may also refer to the modern study of these representations , and to the subject matter as represented in the literature and art of other cultures in any period . The Romans usually treated their traditional narratives as historical , even when these have miraculous or supernatural elements . The stories are often concerned with politics and morality , and how an individual 's personal integrity relates to his or her responsibility to the community or Roman state . Heroism was an important theme . When the stories illuminate Roman religious practices , they are more concerned with ritual , augury , and institutions than with theology or cosmogony . The study of Roman religion and myth is complicated by the early influence of Greek religion on the Italian peninsula during Rome 's protohistory , and by the later artistic imitation of Greek literary models by Roman authors . In matters of theology , the Romans were curiously eager to identify their own gods with those of the Greeks ( interpretatio graeca ) , and to reinterpret stories about Greek deities under the names of their Roman counterparts . Rome 's early myths and legends also have a dynamic relationship with Etruscan religion , less documented than that of the Greeks . While Roman mythology may lack a body of divine narratives as extensive as that found in Greek literature , Romulus and Remus suckling the she-wolf is as famous as any image from Greek mythology except for the Trojan Horse . Because Latin literature was more widely known in Europe throughout the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance , the interpretations of Greek myths by the Romans often had a greater influence on narrative and pictorial representations of classical mythology than Greek sources . In particular , the versions of Greek myths in Ovid 's Metamorphoses , written during the reign of Augustus , came to be regarded as canonical .
Sir Ross Macpherson Smith , KBE , MC & Bar , DFC & Two Bars , AFC ( 4 December 1892 - 13 April 1922 ) was an Australian aviator . He and his brother , Sir Keith Macpherson Smith , were the first pilots to fly from England to Australia , in 1919 .
An aircraft pilot or aviator is a person who controls the flight of an aircraft by operating its directional flight controls . Some other aircrew members , such as navigators or flight engineers , are also considered aviators , because they are involved in operating the aircraft 's navigation and engine systems . Other aircrew members , such as flight attendants , mechanics and ground crew , are not classified as aviators . In recognition of the pilots ' qualifications and responsibilities , most militaries and many airlines worldwide award aviator badges to their pilots .
Sir Donald George Bradman , AC ( 27 August 1908 - 25 February 2001 ) , often referred to as The Don , was an Australian international cricketer , widely acknowledged as the greatest batsman of all time . Bradman 's career Test batting average of 99.94 has been cited as the greatest achievement by any sportsman in any major sport . The story that the young Bradman practised alone with a cricket stump and a golf ball is part of Australian folklore . Bradman 's meteoric rise from bush cricket to the Australian Test team took just over two years . Before his 22nd birthday , he had set many records for top scoring , some of which still stand , and became Australia 's sporting idol at the height of the Great Depression . During a 20-year playing career , Bradman consistently scored at a level that made him , in the words of former Australia captain Bill Woodfull , worth three batsmen to Australia . A controversial set of tactics , known as Bodyline , was specially devised by the England team to curb his scoring . As a captain and administrator , Bradman was committed to attacking , entertaining cricket ; he drew spectators in record numbers . He hated the constant adulation , however , and it affected how he dealt with others . The focus of attention on his individual performances strained relationships with some teammates , administrators and journalists , who thought him aloof and wary . Following an enforced hiatus due to the Second World War , he made a dramatic comeback , captaining an Australian team known as The Invincibles on a record-breaking unbeaten tour of England . A complex , highly driven man , not given to close personal relationships , Bradman retained a pre-eminent position in the game by acting as an administrator , selector and writer for three decades following his retirement .
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 20-metre ( 22-yard ) pitch with a wicket at each end , each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps . The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at the wicket with the bat , while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this and dismiss each player ( so they are out ) . Means of dismissal include being bowled , when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails , and by the fielding side catching the ball after it is hit by the bat , but before it hits the ground . When ten players have been dismissed , the innings ends and the teams swap roles . The game is adjudicated by two umpires , aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches . They communicate with two off-field scorers who record the match 's statistical information . There are various formats ranging from Twenty20 , played over a few hours with each team batting for a single innings of 20 overs , to Test matches , played over five days with unlimited overs and the teams each batting for two innings of unlimited length . Traditionally cricketers play in all-white kit , but in limited overs cricket they wear club or team colours . In addition to the basic kit , some players wear protective gear to prevent injury caused by the ball , which is a hard , solid spheroid made of compressed leather with a slightly raised sewn seam enclosing a cork core which is layered with tightly wound string . Historically , cricket 's origins are uncertain and the earliest definite reference is in south-east England in the middle of the 16th century . It spread globally with the expansion of the British Empire , leading to the first international matches in the second half of the 19th century . The game 's governing body is the International Cricket Council ( ICC ) , which has over 100 members , twelve of which are full members who play Test matches .

Jason Neil Gillespie ( born 19 April 1975 ) is an Australian cricket coach and former cricketer who played all three formats of the game . Primarily a right-arm fast bowler , he was also a competent lower-order batsman with a Test double century , an unbeaten 201 , the highest score by a night-watchman in international cricket . Gillespie made his One Day International debut against Sri Lanka at Colombo in the Singer World Series in August 1996 , and his Test debut against the West Indies at Sydney in November 1996 . He also played for South Australia , Yorkshire and Glamorgan at first-class level , and was an AIS Australian Cricket Academy scholarship holder in 1995 . On 29 February 2008 , Gillespie announced his retirement from first-class cricket in Australia . He then played for a period in the unauthorised Indian Cricket League for the Ahmedabad Rockets . At the end of the 2008 English domestic season he retired from all first-class cricket .
Ken Martin ( born 1952 ) is a South Australian sculptor .
Darren Scott Lehmann ( born 5 February 1970 ) is an Australian cricket coach and former cricketer who coached the Australian national team . Lehmann made his ODI debut in 1996 and Test debut in 1998 . He was on the fringes of national selection for the entirety of the 1990s , and only became a regular in the ODI team in 2001 and Test team in late 2002 , before being dropped in early 2005 . Primarily an aggressive left-handed batsman , Lehmann was also a part-time left arm orthodox bowler , and gained renown for his disregard for physical fitness and modern dietary regimes . He announced his retirement from first-class cricket in November 2007 . He coached the IPL teams Deccan Chargers from 2009 to 2012 and Kings XI Punjab in 2013 . He also coached Queensland during the 2010/11 KFC Twenty20 Big Bash , in place of Trevor Barsby who had resigned . In June 2013 , Lehmann replaced Mickey Arthur as the coach of the Australian cricket team , only two weeks before the 2013 Ashes series . Although Australia lost that series 3-nil , Lehmann went on to coach the side to a 5-nil victory in the 2013-14 series less than five months later . Lehmann stepped down as head coach after the fourth test match against South Africa in March 2018 , following the ball tampering scandal which he perpetuated that occurred during the match . He was originally thought to have been involved in the scandal , however Cricket Australia cleared him of blame at the conclusion of their investigation .
Barrie Charles Robran MBE ( born 25 September 1947 in Whyalla , South Australia ) is a former Australian rules footballer who represented North Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League ( SANFL ) from 1967 to 1980 . He won South Australian football 's highest individual honour , the Magarey Medal , on four occasions - 1968 , 1970 and 1973 and yet to be announced Robran is generally considered to be the greatest ever South Australian football player . His citation in the Australian Football Hall of Fame describes him as Regarded as the best player never to play at AFL level . Robran won immense respect not only for his talent , but also his humility and sportsmanship . He played most of his time at centre half-forward , but was versatile enough to also play in the centre or on the ball as a ruck-rover . He resisted many overtures to play in Victoria , at one stage signing a form four with Carlton so that the Victorian recruiters would stop pestering him . Off the field , Robran kept a low public profile and shunned much publicity .
Australian rules football , officially known as Australian football , or simply called Aussie rules , football or footy , is a contact sport played between two teams of eighteen players on an oval-shaped field , often a modified cricket ground . Points are scored by kicking the oval-shaped ball between the middle goal posts ( worth six points ) or between a goal and behind post ( worth one point ) . During general play , players may position themselves anywhere on the field and use any part of their bodies to move the ball . The primary methods are kicking , handballing and running with the ball . There are rules on how the ball can be handled : for example , players running with the ball must intermittently bounce or touch it on the ground . Throwing the ball is not allowed and players must not get caught holding the ball . A distinctive feature of the game is the mark , where players anywhere on the field who catch the ball from a kick ( with specific conditions ) are awarded possession . Possession of the ball is in dispute at all times except when a free kick or mark is paid . Players can tackle using their hands or use their whole body to obstruct opponents . Dangerous physical contact ( such as pushing an opponent in the back ) , interference when marking and deliberately slowing the play are discouraged with free kicks , distance penalties or suspension for a certain number of matches , depending on the seriousness of the infringement . The game features frequent physical contests , spectacular marking , fast movement of both players and the ball and high scoring . The sport 's origins can be traced to football matches played in Melbourne , Victoria in 1858 , inspired by English public school football games .
George Giffen ( 27 March 1859 - 29 November 1927 ) was a cricketer who played for South Australia and Australia . An all-rounder who batted in the middle order and often opened the bowling with medium-paced off-spin , Giffen captained Australia during the 1894-95 Ashes series and was the first Australian to score 10,000 runs and take 500 wickets in first-class cricket . He was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame on 26 February 2008 .

Malcolm Jack Blight AM ( born 16 February 1950 ) is a former Australian rules footballer who represented North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League ( VFL ) , and Woodville Football Club in the South Australian National Football League ( SANFL ) during the 1970s and 1980s . He is currently serving as a coaching advisor at the Gold Coast Football Club . One of few players to have won the Brownlow Medal and the Magarey Medal , and so far the only player to have kicked 100 goals in a season in both the VFL and the SANFL , Blight is rightly regarded as one of Australian football 's greatest-ever players . In addition , he has captained the state representative sides of both Victoria and South Australia . In spite of his failure as a playing coach of North Melbourne , Blight would cement his reputation as one of the greatest coaches during his stints with Geelong and Adelaide , before finishing up in an acrimonious circumstances at St Kilda . The name Blight is of Cornish origin . In 2012 , Blight was appointed director of coaching at the Gold Coast Football Club . Blight was made a member of the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1996 and was elevated to Legend status ( the highest honour which can be bestowed onto an Australian footballer ) in 2017 .
Kenneth William George Farmer ( born 25 July 1910 in Adelaide , South Australia - died 5 March 1982 in Adelaide ) was an Australian rules football player in the South Australian National Football League during the 1920s , 1930s and 1940s .

Clement Clem Hill ( 18 March 1877 - 5 September 1945 ) was an Australian cricketer who played 49 Test matches as a specialist batsman between 1896 and 1912 . He captained the Australian team in ten Tests , winning five and losing five . A prolific run scorer , Hill scored 3,412 runs in Test cricket - a world record at the time of his retirement - at an average of 39.21 per innings , including seven centuries . In 1902 , Hill was the first batsman to make 1,000 Test runs in a calendar year , a feat that would not be repeated for 45 years . His innings of 365 scored against New South Wales for South Australia in 1900-01 was a Sheffield Shield record for 27 years . The South Australian Cricket Association named a grandstand at the Adelaide Oval in his honour in 2003 and he was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2005 . A short and stocky left-handed batsman , Hill had a crouched , somewhat awkward stance . He gripped the bat low on the handle , playing with a strong bottom hand . His batting style was nonetheless attractive and effective and he was especially strong on the leg side and when cutting . Able to score quickly when required , he was also recognised for his patience and strong defence . Hill normally batted at No . 3 and , along with his contemporary Victor Trumper , he was a mainstay of the Australian batting line-up in the early years of the 20th century .
