Hercle (alternately spelled Heracle or Hercl) is a hero and god in Etruscan mythology. The son of Tinia and Uni, Hercle was the Etruscan equivalent of the Greek hero Herakles, depicted as a muscular figure who carried a club and wore a lionskin. Hercle was a popular subject in Etruscan art, especially bronze mirrors, which depict him engaging in a set of adventures different from those of Herakles.
