He's not necessarily the god of something he just became a god by doing 12 tasks for Eurytheseus!
Heracles was a demigod, born from a mortal mother, Alcmena and the almighty king of the gods, Zeus. Heracles was believed to have inhuman strength, courage and ingenuity. He accomplished 12 tasks set for him by King Eurystheus (who had claimed Heracles' throne) which became know as the Twelve Labors of Heracles. He was hated by Zeus' wife, Hera and she tormented him, driving him mad enough to kill his and Megara's (his wife) children and later his best friend, Iphitus, as revenge for her husband's infidelities.
heracles(roman name hercules) is the son of Zeus(god) and Alcmene(mortal), making him a hero- half god and half man. when heracles killled his children, from being droven made by jealous Hera, he was given 12 tasks, or labors, to do for king Eurystheus, Heracles cousin. Heracles was deprived of inheritance to king by Hera. when heracles had died, his mortal self was sent to Hades and his god self was given a life in Mount Olympus, living as the god of strength. he married Hera's daughter, Hebe, who was the goddess of youth. Hera and Heracles got along back when he was mortal when Heracles saved Hera from being raped by the giants.
A myth; as it recalls the ancient Greek religion passed down to us as myths. It is, however, legendary in fame.
That series of tasks was called the 12 labors of Hercules, and each one seemed impossible.
