Hercules and Hesione, the Trojan Princess
Hesione was the daughter of King Laomedon of Troy. Hercules met Hesione after his year of enslavement to Omphale when he set out for Troy. Hercules found Troy in a state of crisis, as King Laomedon had cheated Poseidon and Apollo by failing to pay them for building the walls. For punishment, Poseidon had sent a large sea monster, who would only be appeased by devouring the princess, Hesione. Hercules sought to kill the monster and naturally expected a reward, such as Laomedon's amazing horses. Hercules bravely killed the beast by allowing himself to be swallowed by the monster, whom he then killed from the inside. But once a cheat always a cheat: Laomedon skimped on paying Hercules too.

Hercules or Alcaeus or Alcides were ancient mythical hero outlets, regarded as the greatest of the Greek heroes. He was born in Thebes and was the son of Zeus and Alcmene When Hercules was born, Hera, Zeus' wife, who was jealous of him for his infidelities, sent two snakes to his cradle, but the infant strangled them. Hercules' adoptive father, Amphitryonas, who was raised to teach him the art of the sailor, taught him the art of armor, Alykus the fight, Evritos the bow, Centaur Chiron the Sciences, and Linus.
The myth saved by Xenophon narrates that incident, when Hercules, seated at a crossroads, saw two beautiful girls passing by. One showed him an easy way, wide and straight, that if he followed, he would enjoy life, but would do a bunch of bad deeds that would condemn him to human judgment. That was Kakia. The other daughter, Areti, showed him a difficult road, full of sharp stones and thorns, narrow and inaccessible, which would have made it difficult for him to gain the recognition of his fellow humans. So Hercules followed Virtue, preferring to suffer to go down its difficult path but to experience glory and honor with his good deeds and virtue. Heracles fights with the lion of Nemea.

In return for his victory over Orchomenus, he took his wife Megara, daughter of the king of Thebes, with whom he had three (albeit more) children. Hera, however, went mad, killing his wife and children. When he realized what he was doing, he decided to go to the Delphi Oracle to find out how he could be purified. According to the ancestor, he had to serve for twelve years Eurystheus, king of the Mycenaeans, and carry out the labors that he would protect.
