Said to be the Legendary and Mythical Ancient Greek Demi-God ''Hercules'' favorite weapon, His Club was made from a thorned, Olive Branch Tree. The Club was said to be several feet long and weighted 15-pounds. The most popular versions of it's use come from The “Labors of Hercules”. Driven mad into killing his own Children by The Goddess Hera, Hercules would be forgiven his crime if he completed a series of 12 tasks. The Club featured prominently into his Labors. He used it to fight The Amazons and engaged various mythical Monsters. It's whereabouts after his death are not known, but the apt named “Hercules Tree” can be found throughout Greece.
