Answer:

Hercules.

Explanation:

In Greek mythology, Hercules is a legendary figure. He is recognized as a demi-god, the offspring of Zeus—the thunder god and sovereign of Mount Olympus. Hercules, being part man and part divine, exemplifies heroism and masculinity, renowned as the greatest among the Greek heroes, having also vanquished Hector, the strongest and most courageous warrior in the Trojan War.

Endowed with extraordinary physical strength and virile prowess with both genders, Hercules also possessed wisdom, often using intellect in situations where brute strength didn't suffice.

He was despised by Hera, Zeus's wife, because Zeus had an affair with the mortal Alcmene, disguising himself as her spouse. Hera's animosity was so intense that she conspired to eliminate Hercules at birth, enlisting the aid of Ilithiya, the goddess of childbirth, but her plan failed.

Initially named Alcides by his human parents, he later became known as Hercules. This renaming aimed to placate Hera following her attempt with large snakes to kill him and his twin when they were infants.

Ultimately, Hera succeeded in driving Heracles to madness, resulting in him slaying his own children.

To atone for these murders, he was tasked with accomplishing twelve labors by Eurystheus, his adversary. Despite successfully completing the ten, Eurystheus rejected two, requiring him to perform two additional ones, which Hercules managed effortlessly. He was absolved of his sins and granted eternal life.
