## Folklore

Il coraggioso Ercole, un semidio figlio di Giove, nacque con forza e volontà sovrumane; perciò non vi è alcun compito insormontabile per lui, e nessun’ impresa eroica impossibile da ottenere.
Però, come tutti i figli illegittimi di Giove, ercole scatenò le ire di Giunone, e nonostante egli sia conosciuto come un eroe, le sue più grandi imprese potrebbero non essere mai state compiute senza il tragico coinvolgimento iniziale di Giunone.
Ella rese pazzo Ercole, ed egli uccise i suoi propri figli.
Una volte che si riprese, devastato dalla colpa, Ercole cercò una pena per i suoi crimini. Un oracolo di Giove gli consigliò di prestare servizio al re Euristeo, e così fece Ercole, un po’ riluttante. Invidioso del semidio, il re gli diede tra compiti impossibili, aspettandosi che fallisse già al primo, ovvero di uccidere il Leone di Nemea e ritornare con la sua pelle.
Il Leone di Nemea catturava le donne e divorava i soldati. La sua pelliccia era così spessa che nessuna arma poteva scalfirla, e i suoi artigli erano così affilati, che nessun’ armatura poteva resistere. Ercole rintracciò il Leone nelle sue caverne di montagna e lo costrinse a uscire, scoccando frecce infuocate contro la pelliccia impenetrabile della belva. Agilmente, egli schivò mentre il leone si avventava contro di lui. Alla fine, Ercole scagliò un tiro poderoso direttamente nelle fauci ruggenti del leone, l’unico punto non coperto dalla pelliccia impenetrabile, e lo uccise. In seguito, usando gli stessi artigli della belva, ne prese la pelle, indossando orgogliosamente il mantello come sua nuova armatura.
Euristeo fu sbalordito del ritorno dell’eroe. Subito inizio a diffondersi la leggenda di Ercole. Il re, sconcertato, lo confrontò con altre undici prove, una più difficile dell’altra, ma anno dopo anno, Ercole riuscì in ciò che nessun altro avrebbe potuto fare, guadagnando fama, gloria e la pace che egli aveva così disperatamente ricercato.

## Trivia

* Hercules was originally intended to be released between Bacchus and Xbalanque (likely in the week of December 3 to December 7 2012), however, Hi-Rez introduced the Focus system, and Hercules' original kit was created without said system in mind. As a result, he was postponed until after Xbalanque's release.
* One of Hercules' jokes, "*Do you even lift?*", is a reference to the internet meme *Do You Even Lift?*.
* One of Hercules' jokes, "*A hero has got to be strong, got to be fast and.. er.. got to be fresh from the fight? Yeah.*", is a reference to the song *Holding Out For A Hero* by the singer Bonnie Tyler.
* Hercules' directed taunt towards Hades, "*You should have learned by now Hades!*", references the myth where Hercules wrestles and defeats Hades for the life of his friend's wife Alcestis.
* Hercules' Retrocles skin is based of his original Default skin prior to his visual update. The skin is voiced by Kevin Sorbo, famous for starring in the *Hercules: The Legendary Journeys* television series.
* Hercules' dance social emote is a reference to the music video for the song *Gangnam Style*, by PSY.
