Hercules is one of the most well-known figures in Greek Mythology. Today we will be talking about his birth, the challenging life that he led, and his 12 Labors on his path to redemption.

The 12 Labors of Hercules/Heracles are some of the most impressive tales in all of Greek Mythology. From birth, he was destined to be great, and in this video we will showcase his rise to greatness from his lowest point.
