Who were the married gods that had a god child?

They weren't married I don't think but Zeus and another goddess gave birth to Hercules. The person who was strong.Little Story:- The God of the underworld didn't like Hercules so he sent a snake to kill him. Zeus had sent Hercules to a human family. When he was a baby the snake came but Hercules killed it with his bare hands.*That happened in the Disney Version of Hercules*In Greek Myths, Zeus had a baby with a mortal woman. She named the baby Hercules. Hera (Zeus's immortal wife) was angry that Zeus had baby with another woman, so she sent a snake after Hercules when he was a baby, which he strangled with his bare hands. Hades had nothing to do with Hercules in Greek Myths. Disney wanted to make the story more appropriate in stead of having Zeus cheat on his wife, so they made Hades the bad guy.


Why was Hercules Hades enemy?

Heracles (Hercules is the Roman name for the Greek Heracles, by the way) wasn't really enemies with Hades. In the Disney film Hercules, Hades is painted as his archnemesis, but in the myths, that position was filled more by Hera. She was angered by Zeus' infidelity (Heracles was the son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmene) and took it out on Heracles. She designed the famously difficult and dangerous Twelve Labors and gave them to Eurystheus so that he could order Heracles to complete them.

Was Hera Hercules' Mother?

No. Hercules' mother was a mortal named Alcmena. His father was indeed, Zeus, king of the gods. Hera hated Hercules not only because it wasn't her son, but also because Zeus loved Hercules more than her. This made Hera jealous. Disney was not faithful to Greek mythology with their 1997 animated theatrical film, "Hercules". In this movie, Hera was Hercules' mother and both she and Zeus loved him very much. Zeus seems a faithful husband to Hera. In Greek mythology, he wasn't, at least by our standards.
