I know that Hercules is the son of Zeus and a human women. He is a hero. He had to go through various trials for some reason. He has superhuman strength.

I know that Hercules is really strong, but that's about all I know of him. I've also only really seen the Disney interpretation of Hercules, and I've heard that Disney sugarcoats the story a lot compared to the original myth, so I'm not sure what the story of Hercules was.

Hercules is a very well known Greek hero... he is super strong and born from a Greek God (not sure who) I know that Hercules is a meat head that is a more brawn over brains. I haven't seen Disney Hercules in a long time and I haven't had any other exposure to his story.

I know that Hercules was the son of Zeus and a human woman, when Hera found out about Hercules she was furious. She went down and gave Hercules 12 labors that he had to complete. Hercules was very strong and a hero, he defeated the Hydra and many other beasts. He also killed his family.

I know that Hercules is a demigod, the son of Zeus and a mortal woman. He is really strong, short tempered, and had to redeem himself through trials after murdering his family.

I know Hercules from the Disney movie. We know that Hercules is strong. He also goes through the Hero’s Journey. He trains with Hermes to become stronger and braver. In the end, he goes to Zeus and gives him what he wants and he gets married to the woman he loves.

I know that Heracles' most famous story was about him accomplishing several tasks. He completed the tasks with ease and was sent too complete an additional task after completing the first 11.

I don't know much about Hercules, but what I do know is what I've seen from some pop-culture. Things like Percy Jackson, the movie "Hercules", and other books I've read tell me about his heroism and the tasks he has to face to become the hero he became.

I know that Hercules was the son of Zeus and a mortal woman. He had to go through many trials and tasks to defeat these beasts. He found out who he was and discovered who he really was and got lots of confidence and became one of the most well-known heroes. Derek Scheid

From my prior knowledge about hercules I know that he was a special hero, he was so special because it was said he was the son of Zeus. I also know (not so sure though) that hercules was famous for slaying a nemean lion and wearing its inpenetrable hide.
