Heracles/Hercules

[edit]

The same mythical figure is alternately referred to (four times) by his Greek name Heracles and (five times) by his Latin name Hercules, as he is normally known in English - people always say the Twelve Labours of Hercules, not "... of Heracles", and Hercules (never "Heracles") is an iconic name for a strong man. The fact that the Romans gave the Greek gods names of their own doesn't help, but this to-ing and fro-ing between the two names is simply confusing!213.127.210.95 (talk) 16:34, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
