Heracles Karpusi (ヘラクレス・カルプシ, Herakuresu Karupushi) is a character in the series, Axis Powers Hetalia/Hetalia: Axis Powers. He is the representation of the country, modern Greece (ギリシャ,Girisha).

Appearance
Heracles has brown hair, green eyes, and fairly tanned skin. He wears a brown jacket, with brown pants and a white t-shirt. He occasionally wears a brown hat. In artwork, he is shown to carry a giant cross, which represents Mount Athos.

In a color chart for the characters by Himaruya, Heracles' eyes are shown to be teal. However, in all of the actual artwork for the manga, his eyes are colored green.

He is said to have a serious personality, but he often seems carefree and casual. He is often seen with cats, a reference to Greece's stray cat population. He loves naps and is often seen sleeping, but even though it seems there is nothing in his head, he has a love for philosophy and history. It is said that if you dig in his backyard, you'll find many ancient ruins and things belonging to his mother, Ancient Greece. It is also implied that he frequently takes part in sexual activity, more so than Francis does. This is shown in Hidekaz's official Hetalia doujinshi where Arthur and Francis try to place the 'blame' of the creation of the condom on him, seeing as he should use it very often. He replies by saying that while he does do these 'activities' often, he doesn't really use condoms.

The two of them don't get along, and often fought with each other before finally deciding on a cease-fire. Even so, they're still ready to fight over anything.

The two get along pretty well, due to their countries' good relationship (see Greece-Japan relations). It's strongly implied that they once slept together during Heracles' first visit to Japan (where they discussed the results of a sex frequency poll, Greece being the highest and Japan the lowest), but an embarrassed Kiku tends to deny it.

In the Anime
Heracles first appeared in Episode 01, where he was shown sleeping during the world meeting. He later shows up in Episode 14 at the supermarket, handing Antonio his groceries and taking his time in doing so.

He makes an appearance after the credits of Episode 34 walking behind Matthew with a cat hanging off the front of his shirt.

He finally has a speaking role in Episode 35, conversing with Francis. In the conversation, he tells Francis about his 'Mother' watching the Olympics. Then he turns to Francis and mentions to him that all the competitors were men and they all participated naked. His relationship with Kiku is then explored in Episode 54 and Episode 55.

Trivia

 * Heracles' birthday was originally listed as October 28th, but was retconned to February 3rd by the time the published manga was released. His retconned birthdate corresponds to the date that Greece's independence (from the Ottoman Empire) was officially recognized in the London Protocol, on February 3rd, 1830.
 * Although Heracles Karpusi is the most commonly accepted spelling of his name, the alternate rendering of Herakles Karpossi can sometimes be seen in fan translations, as well as his surname being rendered as Karpsh or Carpus.
 * The surname Karpusi is not in fact a real name, but the Greek word for watermelon. His given name Heracles is thought to have been inspired by the Greek demigod of the same name.
