Who is your favorite god, goddess, or demigod? Mine is Heracles. People
usually know him as Hercules, the strongest man on earth who did many heroic
deeds. He fought The Nemean Lion and tamed Cerbeus. I believe that behind
“Mr.Pretty-boy” is a very courageous man who can actually be sensitive. Is he

told him to go to King Eurytheus, there he would receive his 12 VERY
DIFFICULT labours.
