Having wrestled and defeated Ἀχελώϊος, Akhelôios, god of the Acheloos river, Heracles takes Δηϊάνειρα — from δήϊος (dḗïos, “hostile, destroying”) +‎ ἀνήρ (anḗr, “man, husband”) +‎ -ῐᾰ (-ia), referring to her killing of her husband, Heracles — Deianira as his wife. Travelling to Τίρυνς, Modern Τίρυνθα, Tiryns, a centaur, Νέσσος, Nessus, offers to help Deianira across a fast-flowing river while Heracles swims it. However, Nessus is true to the archetype of the mischievous centaur and tries to steal Deianira away while Heracles is still in the water. Angry, Heracles shoots him with his arrows dipped in the poisonous blood of the  Λερναῖα Ὕδρα, Lernaîa Hýdra. Thinking of revenge, Nessus gives Deianira his blood-soaked tunic before he dies, telling her it will "excite the love of her husband".

Several years later, a rumour tells Deianira that she has a rival for the love of Heracles. Deianira, remembering Nessus' words, gives Heracles the bloodstained shirt. Λίχας, Lichas, the herald, delivers the shirt to Heracles. However, it is still covered in the Hydra's blood from Heracles' arrows, and this poisons him, tearing his skin and exposing his bones. Before he dies, Heracles throws Lichas into the sea, thinking he was the one who poisoned him (according to several versions, Lichas turns to stone, becoming a rock standing in the sea, named for him). Heracles then uproots several trees and builds a funeral pyre on Mount Οἴτη, Oiti, Oeta, which Ποίας, Poeas, father of Φιλοκτήτης Philoktētēs, Philoctetes, lights. As his body burns, only his immortal side is left. Through Zeus'  ἀποθέωσις, apothéōsis, Heracles rises to Ὄλυμπος, Olympus as he dies.

No one but Heracles' friend Philoctetes (Poeas in some versions) would light his funeral pyre (in an alternative version, it is Iolaus who lights the pyre). For this action, Philoctetes or Poeas received Heracles' bow and arrows, which were later needed by the Greeks to defeat Troy in the Trojan War.

Also, बलराम Balarāma, Indian Herakles — white-complexioned, believed to be an incarnation of अनन्त शेषनाग Ananta Sesanaga or Sesha, the cosmic serpent, on whose coils विष्णु Viṣṇu rests in the middle of the cosmic ocean — brother of the dark skin कृष्ण Kṛṣṇá, is credited in the Indian tradition with inventing various techniques of wrestling and unarmed warfare. Like Hercules, Balarāma is always depicted holding a club (or a mace). He was an undisputed master of fighting with the mace and was an instructor to the royal princes.
