Hercules held up the world while Atlas did the deed for Hercules, labor # 11

Hera fed Hercules at her own breast, until he bit her nipple. She pushed him away, spilling her milk across the night sky and forming The Milky Way

Hercules Hero mortal of Greek Mythology Hera his mother jealous of him Had left him in the woods to expire Hidden and fed from Minerva’s nipple He is imbued with strength Hence “The Strongest of all Gods” His twelve labors a penance fulfilled
