Who invented Hercules?
Hercules - or more properly Herakles - was not invented, but grew in folk lore to become the most popular and widely worshipped of the Greek heroes. The name means Glory of Hera, and comes from the earlier and darker days of Greek religion, before the institution of Zeus as the most important god in the Pantheon.
The correct name is HERAcles because his parents were Zeus and HERA. Therefore he wasn't invented.
