Isn't it about time they got his name right?
Its Heracles. He was greek mythology. Not Roman.
And then depression set in.
Completely agree. But the Twelve Labours of Hercules are of Roman origin, not Greek and it's from these stories that spread his fame. The true Greek Heracles did some pretty $hitty things too, which the Roman's left out of their version of the myth.
Plus I think Hollywood don't trust people are educated enough to know Hercules and Heracles are the same guy
