The term 'mythical strong man' refers to two characters from Greek mythology: HERCULES and ATLAS. HERCULES was the son of Zeus, the king of the gods, and was renowned for his strength and courage. He is best known for completing twelve labors, including slaying the nine-headed Hydra and capturing Cerberus, the three-headed dog that guarded the underworld. ATLAS, on the other hand, was a Titan who was punished by Zeus for rebelling against the gods. He was forced to hold up the sky for eternity, and was also known for his immense strength.
