Hercules is the name the Romans called Heracles (or Herakles if you're pretentious), besides that, barbarian is from the Greek word that essentially means people who don't speak Greek.
To be fair barbarian is also a Roman term since they adopted it and they also used it for people not speaking Latin
Ah, yes, of course... I had heard both of those little factoids before, but I needed this reminder, as it turns out 😅
Herakles would probably be more correct. Romans used 'k' mostly in Greek loanwords, and used their native letter 'c' everywhere else.
