If you read the Hercules story, he was never a god. He was a very strong man and his battles were exaggerated and thus people believed he was a god or half god. One cycle of these adventures became canonical as the "Twelve Labors," but the list has variations. One traditional order of the labors is found in the Bibliotheca as follows:
Slay the Nemean Lion.
Slay the nine-headed Lernaean Hydra.
Capture the Golden Hind of Artemis.
Capture the Erymanthian Boar.
Clean the Augean stables in a single day.
Slay the Stymphalian Birds.
Capture the Cretan Bull.
Steal the Mares of Diomedes.
Obtain the girdle of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons.
Obtain the cattle of the monster Geryon.
Steal the apples of the Hesperides.
Capture and bring back Cerberus.
