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
