Spencius was a prosecuting attorney famous in Athens for never having lost a case. He built a case against Hercules charging that Hercules' acts of heroism inspired others to try to be like him: endangering their lives. He also charged that Hercules undermined the authority of the Olympians and committed sedition by undermining the authority of their government and encouraging rebellion. After hearing testimony from various witnesses, the Judge dropped the case against Hercules. Thus, Spencius had his first loss.
