hercacles universal (no powerscaling involved)

Hello everyone, I didn't put thati n the "content revision" section because it's been a long time since I read mythologic stuff but I'm pretty sure that at one moment in his 11th labor (it depends of the version because there are stories that contradict each others) where he has to take golden apples (in the hesperides' garden) that can render those who eat them immortal, Hercules lifted the "sky" instead of Atlas for a moment.

which means that if this is confirmed we can precise he has a solid hight 3-A feat with no powerscaling involved.
 
When Heracles lifted the "sky", he lifted the firmament which is Uranus. Uranus is not universal in size nor is he of universal weight.

Check Atlas' profile. It says

"possibly High Universe level (Known to hold up "The Sky" rather than his popular depiction of holding up the Earth; while Greeks may have simply considered the sky all that was above them, it varies on how far their knowledge actually reached and whether they meant the local solar system or, possibly, the entire universe; alternatively, it could be said he is universal by the known saying that he holds up "The Heavens")"

I used what was written as a justification of Atlas' possible tier 3 - A.
 
Looking back at that profile, it definitely needs to be cleaned up from being so old.

We use Greek cosmology that was described by Hesiod, Homer, etc. and not during the Hellenistic period. In Greek mythology, I do not think there is anything above Uranus and he may be the only thing above Gaia. Uranus IS the heavens.

And local solar system? The very ancient Greeks did not believe in a solar system and all stars and planets are part of Uranus' skin. Stars and planets didn't even know the size of the planets and stars.
