Legend has it that Hercules, who returned from killing the monster Geryon (the tenth of his twelve labors), had stopped in Rome, where he asked the goddess Fauna of drink, but he refused, since his holy water was reserved for women only .

In anger, Hercules built a temple in honor of himself, and forbade women to attend their ceremonies.

Meanwhile, a son of Vulcan, the Caco Daemon, stole a part of the herd of cattle that Hercules himself had taken the monster Geryon, and were destined to the town of Argos. The hero is very angry and began looking for the oxen, but it proved very difficult because the demon Caco had brought the beasts in his cave dragging by the tail, so that the footprints indicate the inverse direction.

Just when he was about to give up one of the cattle responded to the call of Hercules, who thus discovered where he was hiding the thief, once reached, he discovered that the sounds came from a cave that had been locked from the inside but with a huge boulder. Hercules then took a sharp cliff and managed to break through into the cave.

Caco tried to defend himself from the jaws spewing a huge cloud of smoke that enveloped the cave, but Hercules leaped through the smoke, Caco grabbed and squeezed his eyes so that he get out of his head, killing him.

Then, the animals recovered, he decided to return to Argos, and to continue the hard work the last two remaining, but first wanted to build a city at the place where he recovered the cattle, which was necessary for the fulfillment of the Tenth Company, founded as a town and gave his name: Herculaneum.
