"Farnese Hercules (2nd century AD)" (details from "Roman copy from the Antonine era ( c. 320 AD) from a Bronze by Lysippos (c. 325 BC Bronze of Hercules (2nd century AD)") (see related A) Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Tuscany, Italy
There is an infinite variety of human faces but the face of Hercules or Herakles is characteristic - the ability of many to recognize Hercules at a glance implies that his face can be called facies. Furthermore, since his face is unique, statistically he may be "abnormal" because at least 95% of humans have a different face - this illustrates the fallacy to assume that statistically significant differences are automatically biologically significant.
Medical perspective: It calls my attention that most portrayals of Hercules show his genitals to be small, perhaps reflecting an esthetic choice by sculptors. However, assuming that there is some truth to this disproportion, Hercules then had hypo-genitalism - you decide.
