Heracles was this guy who really applied the mantra of "hit first, think later" to almost every aspect of his every day life. Most people think that he was this great warrior - and he was. But he wasn't walking around in gleaming armor, and carrying around a sword and shield. It was more like he wore the pelt of a lion, and carried around a giant club. He also fornicated with anything that had ovaries. He was pretty cool though, he went on a ton of adventures as son of Zeus and was famed for his legendary strength. He was able to slam two mountains together, and strangled two snakes as a newborn. As a son of Zeus, obviously Hera hates him, his sons, and everything he stands for. That's why she drove him crazy and had him murder his wife and child. Obviously he was pissed, but like Hera is a goddess and Zeus' wife. You can't really do much in that situation. So he figured, might as well try to absolve himself of his guilt. So he undertakes these these twelve labors given to him by his cousin (??? I think??? Not 100% sure here). But he did all twelve. Some of them were pretty hard too, like he had to stop this rampaging bull, kill the Hydra, and steal apples from the hesperides. He even had to enter the Underworld at one point. At one point, he literally has the weight of the world on his shoulders. After all this, he becomes a famous hero and even joins the argonauts. He frees Prometheus from his torture, but ends up leaving the crew (I forget why tbh).
He goes back home marries another female, and she ends up getting attacked by a centaur. Hercules kills him, and the centaur gets salty. Like the petty mtf he is, he tells Herc's new wife to take some of his blood and use it as a love potion. But of course, she does not suspect the creature that was attacking her not only 10 minutes ago. She doesn't see the salt. So she sprinkles a little on Herc's clothes, not knowing that it's poison. The poison doesn't kill him because he's a demigod, but it leaves him in so much pain that he tries to kill himself. Eventually he has his friend light him a pyre and he burns to death. He then becomes a god and joins his dad up on Olympus. He marries the cup bearer to the gods and lives happily ever after.
