Actually no, Hercules is the roman equivalent of Heracles, a demigod (half god half human). So the father of Hercules is Jupiter/Heracles is Zeus. On the other side of the problem Hercules/Heracles are not two different persons but to different names of the same idea. Anyway the bottom line is that either you call him Hercules or Heracles you refer to the same thing. also there are some differences between the two: Hercules, it is now believed that substitutes a old italic hero called Garanus with similar attributes and story.
