Herculēs, is, m. (Ἡρακλης), ein griechischer Nationalheld, Sohn Jupiters von der Alkmena, Gemahl der Deïanira (dah. Herculis uxor, Ov. trist. 2, 405), als Gott Gemahl der Hebe (dah. Herculis uxor, Ov. fast. 6, 65 u. 78), der sich durch Ausrottung von wilden Tieren u. Räubern um seine Zeitgenossen verdient machte. Die Mythe läßt ihn von der Juno unaufhörlich verfolgt werden, und Eurystheus legte ihm zwölf schwere Arbeiten (Herculis athla, s. āthlon) auf, die er alle glücklich verrichtete. Man betrachtete den Herkules als den Geber des Reichtums (πλουτοδότης), weshalb man ihm auch den Zehnten des gewonnenen Reichtums opferte, s. Lorenz Plaut. most. 972.
