The phrase "12 loathsome jobs" refers to the character from the book "The Twelve Labors of Hercules" in mythology, specifically the tasks assigned to Hercules by King Eurystheus. In a more modern context, it might also refer to various characters in literature or media who undergo a series of undesirable tasks. If you are looking for a specific reference, please provide more context for an accurate answer.
Heracles, also known as Hercules in Roman mythology, performed the 12 labors. These labors were tasks that were assigned to him as penance for killing his family in a fit of madness induced by Hera, Zeus's wife. Heracles successfully completed all 12 labors, showcasing his immense strength and courage.

Yes, Hercules, the Greek hero, successfully completed the Twelve Labors, which were a series of seemingly impossible tasks assigned to him as penance. These labors included slaying the Nemean Lion, capturing the Golden Hind of Artemis, and retrieving the Apples of the Hesperides, among others. After completing all the tasks, Hercules was ultimately granted immortality and ascended to Mount Olympus, where he was celebrated as a god. Thus, he not only survived the labors but also achieved a divine status.
