I would disagree with this. Aside from the Atlas thing, who was supposed to be the Titan General,there are other examples of Hercules's intelligence. Leading men into battle, the cleaning of the Augean stables, skinning the Nemean Lion, killing the Hydra, capturing the Golden Hind, etc. Was Hercules some sort of super-genius? No. Did he rely on brawn over brains? Generally yes since he was so strong. But that does not necessarily make him stupid.
