It would form the basis of their founding myth, connecting their existence back to the hero Heracles. The children of Heracles would be exiled from the Peloponnese after the heroes death. Though, the following generations would attempt to regain control of lands they saw as being rightfully theirs, as it had been Zeus' intention that Heracles was to have become a great king there, before being tricked by his wife Hera.
