Herakles

Alkmene’s pangs ceased at once and Herakles was born.

As the birth throes for Herakles were pressing on Alkmene, the Moirai (Fates) and Eileithyia (Birth-Goddess), as a favour to Hera, kept Alkmene in continuous birth pangs.

Many scholars have suggested that the deity identified as Herakles was Krishna.

Tacitus also mentions it and includes a description of some of the long-lost ancillary monuments at the base of the cliff, including an altar to " Herakles ".
