Etymology authors: "Hercules is the Roman adaptation of the Greek divine Heracles, the son of Zeus. In Greek mythology, Hercules is supposed to have endured in the stomach of a sea monster for a long time. That the new species lives in the cardiac stomach of the host sea star alludes to this mythology." Hercules here is an unmodified noun in apposition. The genitive 'herculis' would have been a better choice, as use of unmodified personal names might be confusing, and is not recommended in the Code (Article 31) [details]
