His labors:
Bring back a giant's herd of oxen, Retrieve golden apples from the garden of whatever it was (needed Atlas's help)

The garden of Hesperides, I didn't answer because I didn't know all of them

I love thor the god of thunder his film is one of my favorite.

[Jetthebinturong]

The MARVEL Thor is very different to the actual Norse god Thor, nevertheless the MARVEL Thor is still a great character

[blindsimeonjtp]

how diffrent ?

[KitrallStreamrippler]

Well, I'll list most of the things Marvel got right:
1) He lives in Asgard.
2) He wields a hammer called Mjolnir.
3) He is the god of thunder.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. (Sorry if that all sounded a bit rude or something. I've never been overly fond of superheroes, especially the ones based off of mythological beings.)

[blindsimeonjtp]

[Jetthebinturong]

Zeus IS awesome but my favourite Greek god has got to be Poseidon or Hephaestus

Hmm... seems I need to touch up on my greek mythology. Or, mostly my greek, I don't think it was all greek...

[Jetthebinturong]

No it's not all Greek

[Buzz_Bumble]

Zae zat'z vhere Stargate got ze Asgard from.

Stargate (and the original Battlestar Galactica) uses mostly Egyptian mythology, but Stargate does mix in a few other things as well, including Merlin at one point.

Earth: Final Conflict also used the mythology of Merlin in one of the books (I'm not sure about the TV series since I didn'tsee most of it).

[Jetthebinturong]

What does Pharaoh mean?
