There is this theory that the Mountain got its name from an alternative Greek name for Hercules. And since Hercules was the son of Zues it meant that he possesed great strenght and power just like the mountain and it's great erruption.In addition, there is also another theory that the name Mt. Vesuvuis comes from the Oscan word meaning "smoke".
