    No. I mean HERACLES. Also known as ALCIDES. Also known as HERCULES.  Why did I choose Heracles rather than Hercules or Alcides? Because it sounds better to my ear  AND HERA was the ancient Greek Queen of Heaven. There is no HERCU. Sometimes you have choices. This is one of those times. Sometimes  ONLY ONE IS RIGHT. This is not one of those times.

  • Heracles was the ancient Greek strongest man in history. Hercules is the Roman copy of him.

  • CNN is the Lernean Hydra with many evil heads that drip venom and are difficult to remove. Trump is Heracles who is the first hero who held his own with that evil monster. Who is the modern Iphicles who helped Heracles kill the Hydra?
