How does Hercules die and why is he allowed onto Mount Olympus?
Hercules' wife accidentaly kills him. The Centaur Nessus offered to take them across a river that they needed to cross. Nessus tried to kidnap Deianeira (he takes her across first) but Hercules kills shoots him with a poisoned arrow. Before dying, Nessus tells Deianeira to take some of his blood and save it in case Hercules becomes unfaithful (he said the blood would make him fall back in love with her). One day Deianeira gets told rumours about Hercules being unfaithful and makes him wear something (can't remember what) with the blood on it. As the blood is poisoned from the poison that killed the Nessus, Hercules died. Hercules is half God, so he was allowed to go to Mount Olympus and was set as a star (I think) by Zeus.

He was wedded to Hebe (the Goddess of youth). well he actually couldent be poisend by his wife because he killed her. He would lately reappear on earth as a god. For instance, he came back to urge Philoctetes to rejoin the Achaean Army besieging Troy; as it was decreed that the Trojan war could not be won without him and the bow of Hercules (that was given to him by the hero himself as a recompense for having lit the pyre when all shrinked from the task).
