This is Hercules, not Heracles.

Hercules is the Roman version or "rip-off" from the original Greek Heracles. Hercules had short hair, and a smooth face. Heracles had longish hair (although interpretations show various lengths) and a full beard.

Hollywood always use this Hercules version rather than the true Heracles. Why? Guess they think people aren't educated enough to know it's the same person.

You are the first person I've seen to make that distinction. Thank you.
