benefit of mankind. Of the great number 
of his achievements the most celebrated are 
his twelve labors, which Eurystheus imposed 
upon him. His wife was Dejanira, a 
daughter of (Eneas. The centaur Mes- 
sus, when mortally wounded by Hercules, 
gave his poisoned tunic to Dejanira, as¬ 
suring her that it had the power of reclaim¬ 
ing a husband from unlawful lotfes De¬ 
janira, informed of her husband’s attach¬ 
ment to lole, sent him this tunic, and 
Hercules, as soon as he had put, it on, 
fell into a desperate distemper, and burnt 
himself on mount (Eta. After his death, 
he was made a god, and Juno, who had 
persecuted him during his life on earth, 
gave him her daughter Hebe in mar¬ 
riage. — He, is considered the giver of 
riches ( 7 rXonroddrr/y). Horat. °Sat. ii.

gained used to be sacrificed to him. He is 
also represented as the companion and 
guide of the Muses (povaaycrq;). Suet.
