Herc isn't Biblical 😕 The idea may have sprung from someone like Samson (Which is unlikely seeing as Greek mythical characters were around 4000 BC whereas Samson was probably 1083 to 1063 BC ) , but Herc isn't Biblical...............
Not so strong. I have a few animal bones and one good blow would finish most people. Now not getting mobbed/stabbed to death by 1000 Philistines, that's a toughness feat there. Collapsing the temple of... Dagon was it? Baal? Either way, that's the strength feat.
I think Rewmac just meant a general class of "characters from ancient tales" rather than to imply that Heracles was in the Bible. To what degree you consider those tales to be factual raises both theological and historical questions.
