How to Get Hercules to Come with You on Mythology Island on "Poptropica"

Hercules, son of Zeus, runs a cafe on Mythology Island in the online game "Poptropica," where he spends his days signing autographs for a fee. You need Hercules's strength to get to some locations on Mythology Island, but the hero is reluctant to help you. Hercules will follow you after you obtain a mirror from Aphrodite and collect five items for Zeus: a Hydra scale, a rare flower, the Minotaur's ring, Cerberus's whisker and Poseidon's pearl.
