My name is Hercules, although I have at various times been known as Herakles as well. My father is Zeus, the King of the Olympian Gods and my mother is the mortal woman Alcmene. I possess great strength, with which I try to do good deeds and bring hope to the world of men.
I have many siblings on my father's side; some I get along with better than others. I most often come into conflict with Ares, who seeks to spread war amongst the common folk I protect.
