Hercules dies after being poisoned by a garment dipped in the blood of the centaur Nessus, which causes him excruciating pain. In his agony, he builds his own funeral pyre and ultimately dies in the flames. After his death, Zeus grants him a place on Mount Olympus, allowing him to join the gods as a reward for his heroic deeds and to free him from his mortal suffering. This elevation reflects his status as a demigod and the culmination of his trials and labors.

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.

Why did Hercules get killed?

Hercules, the legendary hero of Greek mythology, did not die in the traditional sense; rather, he met his end through a tragic series of events. After being driven mad by the goddess Hera, he unwittingly killed his wife and children. To atone for this, he undertook the Twelve Labors. Ultimately, he was poisoned by a tunic soaked in the blood of the centaur Nessus, leading to his death, but he was later granted immortality and ascended to Mount Olympus.
