[PAR] [TLE] Bellerophon [SEP] Bellerophon ( ; Greek: Βελλεροφῶν ) or Bellerophontes (Βελλεροφόντης ) is a hero of Greek mythology.  He was "the greatest hero and slayer of monsters, alongside Cadmus and Perseus, before the days of Heracles", and his greatest feat was killing the Chimera, a monster that Homer depicted with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail: "her breath came out in terrible blasts of burning flame."  Bellerophon was born at Corinth and was the son of the mortal Eurynome by either her husband Glaucus, or Poseidon. [PAR] [TLE] Heracles [SEP] Heracles ( ; Ancient Greek: Ἡρακλῆς , "Hēraklēs", from "Hēra", "Hera"), born Alcaeus (Ἀλκαῖος , "Alkaios") or Alcides (Ἀλκείδης , "Alkeidēs"), was a divine hero in Greek mythology, the son of Zeus and Alcmene, foster son of Amphitryon and great-grandson and half-brother (as they are both sired by the god Zeus) of Perseus.  He was the greatest of the Greek heroes, a paragon of masculinity, the ancestor of royal clans who claimed to be Heracleidae (Ἡρακλεῖδαι ), and a champion of the Olympian order against chthonic monsters.  In Rome and the modern West, he is known as Hercules, with whom the later Roman emperors, in particular Commodus and Maximian, often identified themselves.  The Romans adopted the Greek version of his life and works essentially unchanged, but added anecdotal detail of their own, some of it linking the hero with the geography of the Central Mediterranean.  Details of his cult were adapted to Rome as well.
