    Hercules’ father, Zeus, was always known as the greatest of the gods and Zeus was very proud of him. However, he was usually unable to aid his son due to his marriage to Hera, the queen of the gods, and her jealousy. His mother, Alcmene, was said to be the wisest mortal woman to ever live and also the most loyal in partnership to her husband. After she was tricked by Zeus (who was disguised as her husband) to lay with him, she became pregnant with Hercules. She was cursed with difficult childbirth by Hera and never was able to escape the goddess’s hate, though Hercules’ conception was not her fault. In her death, she was buried with Hercules’ wife and children though there was initially a debate about where she should be laid to rest. Both men’s sets of parents were nearly non-existent and shrouded in misfortune.…

    Hercules’ temper played a vital role in his journey of being the greatest hero of Greece. Although his temper helped him in being the hero he was, he also had wild outburst, but he would gladly accept the punishment given. Even when offered to be exonerated he would punish himself for letting his temper get the best of him in the wrong place and time. His temper helped him be the strongest man on earth and admired by the Gods because whenever he felt he wronged someone he tried so hard to make things better. He did unthinkable deeds to make amends but never found relief. His first kill was his musician teacher. He was unaware of the strength he possessed and didn’t mean to kill the man and he felt deeply sorry for what he had done. The appalling temper that Hercules had helped him get through all the obstacles that was given to him by those who were punishing him the tragedies he caused. Throughout his journey he became the greatest Hero known to Greece.…

    First, however, I would like to start by giving a little bit of background information on the hero known as Hercules. Hercules was born as the son of Zeus and a beautiful mortal woman named Alcmene, in the Greek city of Thebes. Due to his father’s divinity, Hercules was given the gift of extraordinary physical strength and courage. From the beginning, the events of his life were shaped by the wrath of the goddess Hera, who scorned the boy that was a reminder of her husband’s infidelity. As he matured he faced countless tasks and hardships, but through his victories he forever glorified himself in ancient literature. The stories of Hercules had quite a large impact on the early Greeks. Some, such as the ancient Spartans, believed they were descendants of the great hero and strived to be like him on the battlefield and in the gymnasium. Elsewhere, in Thebes, the Cult of Heracles was a religious group that was created which worshiped him as the divine protector of man. The cult constructed many shrines throughout the ancient world and even held festivals in his honor every year (theoi.com). Later on, the…
