Heracles: a true hero?

     Heracles was a problematic hero. This is because he constantly gets fits of rage ending up in an innocent person or creature dying. He also solves his problems through trickery and deception. When you think of a hero you think of someone who would do the right thing in an honorable fashion. Heracles takes the easy way out of most situations. With the Ceryneian Hide he was not suppose to harm the animal but he takes the easy way out and shoots the deer with an arrow. An example of his decept is when he tricks atlas into holding the world again. He directly lied to atlas to get what he wanted. A modern hero who is very similar to Heracles is The Incredible Hulk. They both have god like strength and both have extreme fits of rage that end up in innocent people dying.
