What are Hercules heroic acts?

Hercules, also known as Heracles, had a laundry list of heroic acts that would make your head spin. From slaying the Nemean Lion and capturing the Erymanthian Boar to cleaning the Augean stables and fetching the Golden Apples of the Hesperides, this guy was a real overachiever in the hero department. And let's not forget about his epic showdown with the Hydra and his daring descent into the Underworld to kidnap Cerberus. Hercules was basically the original action hero, with a resume that puts modern-day superheroes to shame.

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.


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 commit to performing the labors?

Actually it was because Hera was jealous because Zeus had cheated on her and the lady gave birth to Hercules. So Hera made Hercules go mad and kill his family. After he did this he was saddened so he prayed to Apollo and he told Hercules to complete the 12 labors to make up for his crime.
