heracles(roman name hercules) is the son of Zeus(god) and Alcmene(mortal), making him a hero- half god and half man. when heracles killled his children, from being droven made by jealous Hera, he was given 12 tasks, or labors, to do for king Eurystheus, Heracles cousin. Heracles was deprived of inheritance to king by Hera. when heracles had died, his mortal self was sent to Hades and his god self was given a life in Mount Olympus, living as the god of strength. he married Hera's daughter, Hebe, who was the goddess of youth. Hera and Heracles got along back when he was mortal when Heracles saved Hera from being raped by the giants.
Heracles was a demigod, born from a mortal mother, Alcmena and the almighty king of the gods, Zeus. Heracles was believed to have inhuman strength, courage and ingenuity. He accomplished 12 tasks set for him by King Eurystheus (who had claimed Heracles' throne) which became know as the Twelve Labors of Heracles. He was hated by Zeus' wife, Hera and she tormented him, driving him mad enough to kill his and Megara's (his wife) children and later his best friend, Iphitus, as revenge for her husband's infidelities.
Upon completing the twelve tasks, Apollo decreed that Heracles would achieve redemption and purification for the sins he committed in a fit of madness. These tasks served as a form of penance, allowing him to prove his strength, courage, and worthiness. Successfully finishing them would not only restore his honor but also grant him a place among the gods, reflecting his heroic status in Greek mythology.
Heracles learned the lesson of humility through a series of challenges and tribulations, including the completion of his twelve labors. These tasks forced him to confront his own limitations and rely on the help of others, teaching him the importance of humility in the face of adversity.
