If you named your boat "The Hurcules" as a reference to the mythological figure Hercules, it would indeed be an allusion. The term "allusion" refers to a figure of speech in which a reference is made to a person, place, event, or work of literature, art, or culture. By naming your boat "The Hurcules," you are making a direct reference or allusion to Hercules from mythology.
To confirm if it is indeed an allusion, you can read about Hercules in mythology. You can start by visiting the Wikipedia page on Hercules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules). Additionally, you can also explore the Perseus Digital Library, which offers a collection of texts and resources related to Hercules (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/Herakles/). By familiarizing yourself with the mythical character and his stories, you can be more confident in determining if naming your boat "The Hurcules" is indeed an allusion.
