No. First of all, though Zeus was by all accounts Hercules' father, Hera was not Hercules' mother. That title of distinction goes to a mortal woman named Alcmena. In the 1997 animated feature film, both Zeus and Hera loved Hercules very much. In ancient Greek mythology, Hera hated Hercules due to jealousy issues, especially that Zeus loved Hercules more than Hera. In the movie, Zeus seemed to be a faithful husband to Hera. In mythology, he was more like a womanizer or polygamist. Hades was depicted as the main villain in the movie, while I think he was like a background character in the original myth. Pain and Panic, Hades' henchmen creatures in the movie, are nonexistent in Greek mythology. And the list goes on and on.
SidenoteDisney essentially went downhill with the death of its founder, Walt Disney. Notable exceptions are The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King. When Walt Disney died, the magic gradually faded away, overall. What Disney did to Hercules is just like taking the plot of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, changing important Biblical details, and transforming it into a comedy, whilst Mel Gibson's film is more melancholy. Though the following of the ancient Greek religion is now past its prime, the ancient Greeks took their belief in the gods and the legends of them very seriously.
