Hercules and Heracles are actually the same person but with different names based on the origin of the myth, who was born of Zeus and Alcmede (depending on the myth).

In various myths, it is said that Hercules Mortal Half was sent to the underworld, to be protected by odysseus, leaving him with a God portion of the Demigod.

So technically, although born a demigod, in some myths he is considered a God.
