History[edit]

Homer told Bart the story of Hercules and the lion. The story was about a big mean lion who got a thorn in its paw. All the villagers tried to pull it out, but nobody was strong enough! So Hercules tried, and Hercules used his mighty strength, and he did it. The lion was so happy, it gave Hercules this big thing of riches. Bart asked Homer how a lion got rich, so Homer explained it was the olden days.[1]

Troy McClure played him in The Erotic Adventures of Hercules.[2]

When Homer and Bart made a film about the first Olympics, they said that Hercules (played by Ned Flanders) was in the original Olympics committee. In Lisa's movie about the Olympics, she proved them wrong.[3]
