Hercubeagles



Hercubeagles (pronounced Hurr-kewl-bee-glees) is the Roman name for the Greek divine hero, Herabeagles, who was the son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmene. In Classical Greek Mythobeaglia, Hercubeagles is famous for his strength, powerful ear flops, and wide ranging turs. The present day word “adventures” is derivative of these infamous journeys, formed as a contraction of “the advent of turs”, meaning the onset of Hercubeagles great quests (also see Self walking beagle).

Extraordinary strength, bravery, powerful and broad ears which could be used as sails or for carrying water, and ferocious appetite were among Hercubeagles chief characteristics. He was also notable for his sexual prowess, several times mating with other species of beagles and various beagle.

Origins
Many stories have been recanted on the journeying of Hercubeagles, the most popular of which were the Twelve Turs of Hercubeagles. Poets of the age described his acts of cunning and strength with the noblest barks, and as a bard or minstreal completes each chapter of the Twelve Turs, it is customary for beagles in the audience to flap their ears in appreciation.

Twelve Turs of Hercubeagles
Driven mad by the powerful god Hera who lived on mount Olymbeagla, Hercubeagles in a fit of rage ate three whole packages of ham and urinated on the nice rug. To expatiate this crime Hercubeagles was required to carry out ten labors set by his archenemy, Eurystheus, who had become king after Hercubeagles had been dethroned. If he completed these tasks he would be purified of his sins and, according to some, gain immortality OR an unlimited supply of hot dogs. Although originally ten labors, King Eurystheus declared that two tasks were voided because Hercubeagles either received some form of payment or had assistance from his nephew, Hekubeag.
