赫拉克勒斯在奥林匹斯山众神与巨人的战争中被征召为胜利所必需的凡人象征。这一章主要集中在赫拉克勒斯参与战斗的现存古代描绘上，他与他的父亲宙斯或导师雅典娜搭档战斗，并使用他的标志性弓箭，尽管有些构图要求他也挥舞他的特色棍棒。人们问他做了什么，为什么他应该不朽的任务。作者还探讨了在特定的文学或艺术作品中，英雄的行为是如何被赋予价值的。这个神话似乎被用作政治寓言，巨大的敌人指波斯人，加拉太人，或政治对手，以适应时代。
Heracles was enlisted as the token mortal, necessary for victory, in the Olympian gods’ battle against the Giants. This chapter concentrates on the surviving ancient portrayals of Heracles’ participation in the battle, in which he fights paired with Zeus, his father, or Athena, his mentor, and employing his iconic bow, although some compositions require that he wield his characteristic club as well. It is asked what actions he performed and why he deserved immortality for the task. The manner in which hero’s actions were valorized in particular pieces of literature or art is also explored. The myth seems to be used as political allegory, the gigantic enemies referencing Persians, Galatians, or political adversaries to fit the times.
