Never! I hate snakes.

Humm, yes, with a good bottle of milk.

Hercules Beetle

The Hercules beetle (Dynastes hercules) is the most famous of the rhinoceros beetles. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, they also can be found in coastal regions of North Carolina. Their title is well deserved, with some (exceptionally rare) males reaching 6.75 inches (170 mm) in length.

Leo, a sign of the Zodiac

Leo, the Lion, is Lion in France, Lowe in Germany, and Leone in Italy. In Anglo-Norman times it was Leun. It lies between Cancer and Virgo, the bright Denebola 5° north of the faint stars that mark the head of the latter constellation; but Ptolemy extended it to include among its … the group now Coma Berenices.

In Greek and Roman myth this was respectively Leon and Leo, representing the Nemean Lion, originally from the moon, and, after his earthly stay, carried back to the heavens with his slayer Hercules, where he became the poet's Nemeaeus; Nemeas Alumnus; Nemees Terror; Nemeaeum Monstrum; and, in later times, No Animal Nemaeo truculento of Camoes. It also was Cleonaeum Sidus, from Cleonae, the Argolic town near the Nemean forest where Hercules slew the creature; Herculeus; and Herculeum Astrum. But the Romans commonly knew it as Leo, Ovid writing Herculeus Leo and Violentus Leo.

Francisco de Zurbarán & Hercules

Francisco de Zurbarán (November 7, 1598 Fuente de Cantos, Extremadura– August 27, 1664, Madrid) was a Spanish painter. He is known primarily for his religious paintings depicting monks, nuns, and martyrs, and for his still-lifes. Zurbarán gained the nickname Spanish Caravaggio, owing to the forceful, realistic use of chiaroscuro in which he excelled.

In the palace of Buenretiro, Madrid are four large canvases representing the Labours of Hercules, an unusual instance of non-Christian subjects from the hand of Zurbarán.

Temple of Hercules Victor

The Temple of Hercules Victor ('Hercules 'the Conqueror') or Hercules Olivarius is an ancient edifice located in the Forum Boarium in Rome. It is is a monopteros, a round temple of Greek 'peripteral' design (surrounded by colonnades on all sides). This layout caused it to be mistaken for a temple of Vesta.

Dating from the later second century BC, and perhaps erected by L. Mummius Achaicus, conqueror of the Achaeans and destroyer of Corinth, the temple is 14.8 m in diameter and consists of a circular cella within a concentric ring of 20 x 10.66 m tall Corinthian columns resting on a tuff foundation. These elements supported an architrave and roof which have disappeared.

The original wall of the cella, built of travertine and marble blocks, and nineteen of the originally twenty columns remain but the current tile roof was added later. Palladio suggested a dome, though this was apparently erroneous. The temple is the earliest surviving marble building in Rome.

Alcedo Hercules

The Blyth's Kingfisher, Alcedo hercules, is a kingfisher distributed in Bangladesh, India, China, Bhutan, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam. It is found along streams in evergreen forest and adjacent open country from 200-1,200 m, mainly at 400-1,000 m.

Maximian Herculeus

Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maximianus Herculius (c. 250 – c. July 310), commonly referred to as Maximian, was Caesar (junior Roman Emperor) from July 285 and Augustus (senior Roman Emperor) from April 1, 286 to May 1, 305. He shared the latter title with his co-emperor and superior, Diocletian, whose political brain complemented Maximian's military brawn. Maximian established his residence at Trier but spent most of his time on campaign. In the late summer of 285, he suppressed rebels in Gaul known as the Bagaudae. From 285 to 288, he fought against Germanic tribes along the Rhine frontier. Together with Diocletian, he ran a scorched earth campaign deep into the territory of the Alamanni tribes in 288, temporarily relieving the Rhenish provinces from the threat of Germanic invasion.
Maximian Hercules defeated the mauri, to exterminate the pirates (earning the nickname of Hercules) and returned to Rome in 303 for victory with Diocletian.

C-130 Hercules

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. It is the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. Over 40 models and variants of the Hercules serve with more than 50 nations. In December 2006 the C-130 became the fifth aircraft—after the English Electric Canberra, B-52 Stratofortress, Tupolev Tu-95, and KC-135 Stratotanker—to mark 50 years of continuous use with its original primary customer, in this case the United States Air Force. The C-130 is also the only military aircraft to remain in continuous production for 50 years with its original customer, as the updated C-130J Super Hercules.

Heracles, a Euripidean tragedy

Heracles or Hercules Furens (Greek: Ἡρακλής μαινόμενος / Hēraklēs Mainomenos) is a play by Euripides (c. 416 BC). While Heracles is in the underworld obtaining Cerberus for one of his labors, his father Amphitryon, wife Megara, and children are sentenced to death in Thebes, Greece by Lycus. Heracles arrives in time to save them, however the goddesses Iris and Madness (personified) cause him to kill his wife and children in a frenzy. It is the second of two surviving plays by Euripides where the family of Heracles are suppliants (the first being Heraclidae). It was first performed at the Great Dionysia festival and did not win any prize.

The Opera Hercules, Händel

Hercules (HWV 60) is a Musical Drama in three acts by George Frideric Handel, composed in July and August 1744.

Hercules has completed the Twelve Labours, and is returning from fighting. His wife Dejanira waits, neglected, in the palace at Trachis. She is tormented by her thoughts: she has heard that Hercules has captured Iole, daughter of the King of Oechalia, and plans to keep her as a slave and concubine. Hercules has seduced her, and has sacked Oechalia and killed her father in order to win her. Dejanira, accustomed to her husband's infidelities, resents the prospect of the young rival. She remembers that the centaur Nessus, when he was mortally wounded by Hercules, gave her a garment which he assured her would restore her husband's love for her when he put it on. She sends it to him, but the robe is poisoned, and Hercules dies. In dying he orders his son Hyllus to marry Iole. Realizing what she has done, Dejanira goes mad with grief.

Temple of Heracles (Hercules) in Agrigento

Temple of Heracles (Hercules) (510 B.C.)One of the most beautiful temples of antiquity , it is now reduced in poor ruins. But even so, the building, still visible from far away, is imposing and rises in the Valley of the Temples just like the symbol of the power and strength of Herakles, the national hero of Sicily and, in particular, Agrigento.

The wide rectangular platform, mounted on four steps, measures m.73,992 in length and 27,788 in width, a triple square that occupies a surface of .2.056,89 square meters. It was m. 16,264 high.

Out of 38 columns (6 on the front and 15 on the long sides counting the corner ones twice), only 9 stand out today. They were put back up in 1922, thanks to the English captain Alexander Hardcastle.

Chinese Hercules film (1073)

In Chinese Hercules Yeung, kung fu fandom's inimitable (say that word three times fast) strongman plays hired muscle for an organized crime syndicate that plans to push dockworkers out of their job, presumably to use the dock for smuggling operations. When the foreman (Wong Chung-shun), backed by his labor force stands up to their corrupt boss in defense of their jobs, Yeung and a ruthless syndicate boss (Fong Yau) arrive with only one response, "Kill 'em and dump 'em."
Chinese Hercules is a misleading international title clearly used in an attempt to tie the movie into the prolific European sword and sandal drive-in flicks of the 1960s. The craze was kicked off in 1958 when bodybuilder and former Mr. Universe Steve Reeves took on the role of the Greek hero Hercules in Le fatiche di Ercole (aka Hercules unchained).

The pillars of Hercules

The "Pillars of Hercules" (Latin, Columnae Herculis) was the phrase that was applied in Antiquity to the promontories that flank the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. The northern Pillar is the Rock of Gibraltar in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. A corresponding North African peak not being predominant, the identity of the southern Pillar has been disputed through history, with the two most likely candidates being Monte Hacho in Ceuta and Jebel Musa in Morocco.


The Pillars appear as supporters of the coat of arms of Spain, originating from the famous impresa of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, King of Spain. The motto Plus Ultra (Latin for further beyond) indicates the desire to see the Pillars as an entrance to the rest of the world rather than as a gate to the Mediterranean Sea.
