I say Hercules. The Nemean Lion skin speaks for itself. Even if Beowulf got the edge in everything but that, the skin would protect Hercules and allow him to move up close for the kill with his deadly weapons.

If Beowulf is deadly with weapons, Hercules is deadly with AND without. He strangled the Nemean Lion with his bare freakien hands while the Lion shredded his skin and fought back. He braved the poisonous Lernean Hydra and held the world oon his back.

Yes, Beowulf killed Grendel and his mother, but fell to a dragon. Herc killed a dragon with 100 heads. Hercules is deadlier.
