When he was a baby the snake came but Hercules killed it with his bare hands.*That happened in the Disney Version of Hercules*In Greek Myths, Zeus had a baby with a mortal woman. She named the baby Hercules. Hera (Zeus's immortal wife) was angry that Zeus had baby with another woman, so she sent a snake after Hercules when he was a baby, which he strangled with his bare hands.

What year was Hercules alive in?

Hercules, a mythological figure from ancient Greek mythology, is not associated with a specific historical year as he is considered a legendary hero rather than a historical person. His stories and exploits are primarily found in ancient texts, dating back to around the 8th century BCE, particularly in works like Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey." Therefore, while Hercules himself did not exist in a particular year, his mythos has been influential in Western culture since ancient times.
