In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," it is not explicitly stated that Hercules is the cousin of Theseus. However, both characters are part of Greek mythology, with Hercules being a demigod and Theseus a legendary king of Athens. The play references various mythological figures, but the relationship between Hercules and Theseus is not directly mentioned or established within the text itself.
Hercules is no doubt a really old legend about a demi god that was born to the Greek god Zeus and his wife, Hera. Disney made a movie about him, though, like Aladdin is to Arabian Nights, isn't quite right, but it gets the gist of the legend. At the end, he allegedly becomes a full fledged god when he risks his life for his love, Meg/Megara, when she is thrown into the green whirlpool of the dead, out of which Herc comes alive and glowing, like a god.
back in shakespeares time, there he was obsessed with the venetians, so to make them look so amazing he thought he would give them their own language, which nowerdays we call "chav" take merchant of Venice, when antonio says to shylock, "lend me thou penny, i wish to get hammered" and another reference is in a midsummer nights dream where bottom says to tatania "init blud, thou art looking freakin' gorjus!" hope that helped :D xxxxxxxxx
