	Hercules
		Hercules was son of Zeus and Alcmena, the most beautiful and wise of the mortal women; Zeus' wife, Hera, furious for her husband's unfaithfulness, tried in all the ways to take revenge.
		Hercules drove out the animal from the dense wood where it lived and he pushed it in a gorge where snow was high: when the wild boar was imprisoned in the snow, the hero succeeded in capturing it alive.
		Hercules crossed Libya, he reached the straits which today are called Gibraltar (where he erected the columns that took the name from him), he stole the livestock and killed Jerion with only one arrow, which pierced all the three bodies going in by a side.

		This number is arrived at through multiplying the character width of 9 pixels by the number of text columns possible on screen (80) as well as multiplying the character height of 14 pixels by the number of text lines (25).
		Long after its prime, the Hercules card continued to be popular for specialist applications, such as some debuggers and CAD programs, because it could be used to connect a secondary monitor alongside another (colour) graphic adaptor.
		Hercules also made a CGA-compatible card, the Hercules Color Card, which could coexist with a monochrome HGC and still allow both graphics pages to be used.

	HTLJ: Hot Water Chapter One
		Hercules, who’d settled for sitting sprawled on the shallow steps so that his head and shoulders were out of the water but the rest of him was completely immersed, decided that - for once - he had no reason to argue with his friend’s conclusion.
		Hercules watched him twist and submerge into the turquoise depths, challenging himself just for the sake of it, and he smiled, amused - as he often was - at his friend’s exuberant and irrepressible spirit.
		His (or her - Hercules was prepared to consider it either way) handiwork was everywhere - and so was the subsequent work of time, blurring the carvings, roughening the polished marble, fading the tiles and cracking the frescos into tantalising glimpses of a vanished splendor.

	DVD Savant Review: Hercules in the Haunted World
		Hercules in the Haunted World is fairly unique for a sword and sandal show, in that the illusory nature of the hero's quest gives mythology a psychedelic dimension.
		Theseus and Hercules must override basic assumptions to accomplish their mission: the fires of hell may only be a trick of the mind.
		Fantoma's DVD of Hercules in the Haunted World is a very special treat, a chance to see the original European export version, Hercules in the Center of the Earth, instead of the edited and redubbed American version that Savant saw at age 12.

		According to Greek mythology, Hercules, as a sign of his furthest journey during his labors, erected on Gibraltar two columns marking the end of the world of Antiquity (2).
		With the curiosity that was inherent in seafaring, the old world order was subjected to a new cartography, and the craving for the new-for new knowledge, lands, resources, wares and treasures-advanced to the status of a virtue and value of an emerging globalized modernism.
		The Columns of Hercules embodied the portal to a new international trade and globalization project at the disposal of which stood geography, religion, science, politics, economy and society.

		Triumph in the field of battle accords Hercules the hero status of a modern athlete, and soon everything from Grecian urns to sandals bear his likeness.

	24051 SIR PETER PAUL RUBENS Flemish 1577 1640
		The lion skin and the two columns in the image relate directly to the myth of the Greek hero Hercules.Hercules was famous for his supernatural physical strength.
		Both stories of Hercules's life are symbolized with the lion skin and the two columns respectively and were well established allegories of fortitude during seventeenth century Spain.But the image evokes a further interpretation, an allegory of the Spanish Monarchy, based on its iconographical elements and the circumstances around which the work was commissioned.
		It is therefore not a coincidence that Philip IV installed, during the 1630s, a series of paintings representing the Deeds of Hercules executed by Francisco Zurbarán in the Hall of Realms of his newly built palace of the Buen Retiro in Madrid.

		The second is the child, Hercules, who is born with a twin, such that Amphitryon's vow to kill the child at birth is dicey right off -- only one child is Zeus', the other is his own.
		Though Hercules means well, his mother, his brother, and his father, all inspire the wrath and greed of others, who turn on Hercules.
		Casting himself as Hercules' bard and companion, the wannabe poet narrates their adventures with the sort of warmth and wit that Astin brought to his role in the Lord of the Rings franchise.

		Atlantis was a promised land situated beyond the Columns of Hercules.
		But beyond those Columns, now replaced, there is an island which has an extraordinary climate (able to give more picked in a year), rich in metals and inhabited for long time by people, who built towers (the nuraghes of the Tirrenis) and which is perhaps closely related with the Etrurians, the Phoenicians and the Carthaginians.

	The History of the Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire - Vol 1 - Chapter II Part IV
		The coasts of Italy are, in general, destitute of safe harbors; but human industry had corrected the deficiencies of nature; and the artificial port of Ostia, in particular, situate at the mouth of the Tyber, and formed by the emperor Claudius, was a useful monument of Roman greatness.
		From this port, which was only sixteen miles from the capital, a favorable breeze frequently carried vessels in seven days to the columns of Hercules, and in nine or ten, to Alexandria in Egypt.
		Whatever evils either reason or declamation have imputed to extensive empire, the power of Rome was attended with some beneficial consequences to mankind; and the same freedom of intercourse which extended the vices, diffused likewise the improvements, of social life.
