Hercules is a greek god story that is told in numerous ways. Most of them are the same, but take a look at how these two are different. Both Hercules the comic and the movie include examples of bravery, love and courage, but countless things different. These are Examples from a graphic novel and a film. The comic includes an external conflict of man versus nature, so does the movie. Even though one of the main conflicts is the Hydra, the comic ends after Hercules defeats it. The movie shows…

The constellation I have chosen for this assignment is Hercules. Hercules has always been one of my favorite characters in mythologic stories, therefore I chose the constellation named after this hero. Hercules, the constellation, has a declination of +30 and consists of 15 stars and planets. It is great to see that the constellation seems to step on the head of draco (the dragon of snake) as he defeated snakes according to the myth. Hercules is the roman name of Heracles, a greek hero.…

Disney’s 1997 children’s film Hercules is a classic, known for its tale of heroism and finding ones true strength. The film is loosely based off of the Greek myth about the demi-god with the same name.

childhood. Disney does a wonderful job of showing who and what heroes are. Hercules is a greek God that is turned into a mortal by Hades the god from the underworld.

The results are not surprising however, as they are just cinematic adaptations, rather then documentaries. Disney’s Hercules was made in 1997 and is a animated adaption…

I viewed a piece of art by the name of Ercole y Cacco or, Hercules and Cacus, sculpted by Gino Ruggeri. This was not the original, which stands 5.05 meters high in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy and was sculpted by Baccio Bandinelli from white marble. I viewed a sculpture of the statue, which stands a mere 19 inches high and is made from alabaster and has a polished finish. This sculpture is a full round work, even with its lack of height. Gino Ruggeri, used a subtractive method to…

the sea. Our city has a grand legend surrounding it, one that involves the great Hercules. I detest that man, but I have to admit he was an incredible fighter. Anyway, the story goes, that after Hercules captured the herd of Geryon, the prize bull escaped. This bull then swam to the island of Sicily. Eryx, the son of Poseidon, was our king at the time. He found the bull and took him into his own flock. When Hercules came demanding the bull back, Eryx refused. Why should he have given this cow to…
