yes, he got drunk and murdered his family Not exactly. Hercules was driven to madness and murder through no fault of his own, but he still performed the Twelve Labors as atonement for the killing of his family. Atonement is by definition a voluntary punishment. If it is not voluntary, it is not atonement.
