The character often depicted with both mortal and divine ancestry is Hercules (or Heracles). He is the son of Zeus, the king of the gods, and a mortal woman, Alcmene. His lineage grants him extraordinary strength and abilities, but he also faces numerous challenges and tasks, often referred to as the Labors of Hercules. These trials reflect the complexities of being caught between the divine and human realms, emphasizing themes of struggle, redemption, and the quest for identity.
