Literature | Hercules' Choice Immortality the reward of toil in preference to pleasure. Xenophon tells us when Hercules was a youth he was accosted by two women - Virtue and Pleasure - and asked to choose between them. Pleasure promised him all carnal delights, but Virtue promised immortality. Hercules gave his hand to the latter, and, after a life of toil, was received amongst the gods.
