Isn't Hercules working?
I agree with Flavio: in my opinion "laboratne" is a verb form + "ne" as a negation, so I'd translate it: "Isn't Hercules working?"
Checked it in my Latin dictionary as well...

IF \"laborare\" is used in the sense of \"working\" here, of course. Actually, it can mean \"to work\", \"to suffer\" etc. - so, as Flavio said, more context is needed!

As it is, it does not mean "the labours of Hercules".
