Heracles(known to the Romans as Hercules)
Hercules was from the culture of the Romans. His Greek name was Heracles. The legend of Hercules originates from the myth of Heracles, an ancient Greek myth. Hercules is his Roman name, in the Roman adaptation of the original Greek tale.
The real name for the greek hero "Hercules" was Heracles, but when the Romans invaded and took over the adopted the myth and named the hero Hercules. So Hercules is roman, but Heracles is greek.
The familiar English form of the Greek mythology figure is "Hercules" but he is known in Greek as "Heracles." The Romans adopted the Hercules form of the name, and it is commonly used in Western culture for the same demigod.
The creature that Herakles (the real name of Hercules, which means "son of Hera", who was Greek, but called Hercules by the Romans) slayed was not a woman. It was a serpent called the Hydra, meaning "water creature".
No. He is not real. Hercules is the Roman name for the mythical Greek demigod Heracles. He is the son of a god (Jupiter to the Greeks and Zeus to he Romans) who married a mortal woman.
