"A" wife? Depending on how you count, there were at least three "official" wives -- Megara, Deianeira and, after his apotheosis, Hebe. But like so many ancient "heroes" he had relationships of various kinds with lots of women (mostly, serial rape, to be honest; his father seems to have been his model here). Apollodorus gives a list of his children (all of them sons) here. The result being that probably anybody in the ancient world could claim Heracles as one of his ancestors.
