Best Answer

When he was about to die, he sacrificed his own body to the heavens and Zeus was touched by his bravery; because of this, he was turned into a god. Thus, Herakles was the only Greek hero to transcend his mortal flesh and become a god.

He had several temples built for him-as well as Hebe, his wife, who was a goddess-scattered across ancient Greece.
