Hercules was a legendary demi-god, son of Zeus.
He completed the 12 "Labors of Hercules" and stories and movies have been written and produced about his life.
He then went on to play offensive line for the Hawaii football team, attempting to get them a BCS victory in the Sugar Bowl.
Alas, this Herculean task was even more difficult than slaying the Hydra, and hence, Hercules moved on to easier tasks, such as playing in the NFL.
