Definition
A descendant of Heracles in Greek mythology, specifically referring to the various heroes and historical figures claimed to be his offspring.
Etymology
From Greek 'Herakles' (Heracles) plus '-id' or '-ide', meaning 'descendant of' or 'son of'. Used in classical literature and mythology.
Kelly Says
Ancient Greeks loved claiming famous ancestors—the Heracleid dynasties claimed descent from Heracles himself, which was basically an ancient celebrity genealogy that gave rulers supernatural legitimacy and divine right to rule.
