No Persues is the son of Zeus and Danae while Hercules(Properly spelled Heracles in the Greek version) is the son of Zeus and Alcmene.
Persues is well known for Slaying the Gorgon Medusa and using her head to defeat the Kraken and save his future wife Andromeda.
Heracles on the other hand is best known for his 12 labors. Heracles' actual birth name was Alcides, and it was later changed to Heracles as an attempt by Alcmene to placate Hera and beg forgiveness for Zeus' infidelity.
No, they are not the same person.
Antilochus is the son of Nestor and friend of Achilles, Antilochus was killed by Memnon; Achilles, Antilochus, and Patroclus all had their ashes enshrined in a mound on the promontory of Sigeum.
Yes. Different names for the same person. Just like Odysseus and Ulysses.
