Is Hercules a greek hero?

Actually no, Hercules is the roman equivalent of Heracles, a demigod (half god half human). So the father of Hercules is Jupiter/Heracles is Zeus. On the other side of the problem Hercules/Heracles are not two different persons but to different names of the same idea. Anyway the bottom line is that either you call him Hercules or Heracles you refer to the same thing. also there are some differences between the two: Hercules, it is now believed that substitutes a old italic hero called Garanus with similar attributes and story.


How did Herclues kill the Namean Lion?

Initially, Hercules was required to complete ten labors, not twelve. King Eurystheus decided Hercules' first task would be to bring him the skin of an invulnerable lion which terrorized the hills around Nemea. When Hercules got to Nemea and began tracking the terrible lion, he soon discovered his arrows were useless against the beast. Hercules picked up his club and went after the lion. Following it to a cave which had two entrances, Hercules blocked one of the doorways, then approached the fierce lion through the other. Grasping the lion in his mighty arms, and ignoring its powerful claws, he held it tightly until he'd choked it to death.

What episodes Hercules destroyed the seven temples of hera?

I don't think that Hercules ever did such a thing. At least I don't recall any such an incident. And thinking on how much Hera already hated Hercules I don't think he would dare do such a thing to madden her further.
