The Life of Hercules
The most well-known character from ancient Greek mythology, Herakles, is known by his Roman name, Hercules. Zeus, the gods' king, and the human woman Alcmene were the parents of Hercules. Zeus, who was constantly pursuing women, assumed the guise of Alcmene's husband, Amphitryon, and paid the princess a visit one night in her bed. As a result, Hercules was born a demi-god with superhuman strength and endurance. Although he accomplished fantastic deeds, such as battling death and seeing the underworld twice, and his tales were spread throughout Greece and subsequently Rome, his life was anything but simple from the moment of his birth, and his interactions with other people were frequently disastrous. This was due to Hera's desire to kill Hercules after learning that he was her husband Zeus's son by a different woman. In actuality, he was given the name Alcaeus at birth and later changed it to Herakles, which means "Glory of Hera," denoting that he would gain notoriety as a result of his conflicts with the goddess.
