1. The Son of Zeus

2. Heracles’s parents are Zeus and Alcmene. Zeus had an affair and now his wife, Hera, is out to kill Heracles in any way possible.

3. Hera like I said earlier wanted Heracles dead. But, she gave him the curse of anger which made him kill his wife and kids. As a result Heracles was sent to do 12 labors to make up for his wrong doing

4.  One: The Nemean Lion  Two: Hydra  Three: The Cernitian Hind  Four: The Erymanthian Boar  Five: The Augean Stables  Six: The Stymphalian Birds  Seven: The Cretan Bull

5.  Eight: The Mares of Diomedes  Nine: Hippolyte’s Belt  Ten: The Cattle of Geryon  Eleven: The Apples of the Hesperides  Twelve: The Capture of Cerberus

6. He became a Full-fledged god. And was given a goddess for a wife and lives in Mount Olympus.

7.  Helped the gods win a battle with the giant

8. I believe that the story of Heracles was told to teach the Greek’s that if you work for something you can accomplish it.
