Hercules

In Greek mythology, Hercules, known as Heracles in Greek, is renowned for his extraordinary physical prowess and towering physique. As the son of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Alcmena, a mortal woman, Hercules possessed divine strength from birth. His physical appearance was that of a near-perfect human.

He was depicted as a tall and heavily muscled man with bulging biceps and a powerful chest, often dressed in a lion’s skin as a symbol of his legendary encounter with the Nemean Lion. Hercules’ physical attributes, combined with his exceptional courage and determination, allowed him to accomplish the famous Twelve Labors and become one of the most celebrated heroes in ancient mythology, embodying the idealized image of physical strength and heroism.
