Hercules (originally Herakles, in Greek) was the son of a human woman, Alcmene, and the Greek god, Zeus. He was born mortal, but was allowed to live among the gods after he died.

There's a great summary of the myth of Hercules called "Hercules, The Mortal Who Became a God" at eZine, which you can access via Related Links, below.
