Extra credits
(30 points)

One of the most famous hero in Greek mythology is surely Hercules (yeah, the one of Disney’s movie...). What I want from you is this:
Who is Hercules? What are the “twelve labours”? Which are them (you have only to list them)? Choose one of the twelve labours and explain it to me in details :)
Minimum of 300 words, but remember that more you will be precise and complete and more you will earn.

Please, no copy and paste from internet. If i will notice you will have only copy and paste from Internet, the work could also be the best in the world but it won’t give you full points.
