Babe in the cradle he strangled two serpents, sent surupticiously by Hera to kill him, strength so early.

In youth instructed in the art of bow, wrestling, arms and music.
Till in rage he killed his teacher with his own lute, some say unfairly.

Eighteen years of his life had passed, when working as a shepherd, he killed the mighty lion.
Then he met two women, pleasure and virtue they were named,choosing the last one, he had life of toil and glory.

Most famous of Greek heroes,with strength, courage, endurance, good nature and compassion, this is not your only story.

Appetite, lust, mighty warrior, with Jason you did sail on his journey to Colchis, seeking the Golden Fleece.
