The Cretan Bull was his seventh labor. Long before a king was going to sacrifice cattle for the god Poseidon and he prayed for an animal worthy enough to sacrifice for him. Therefore Poseidon sent a Snow White bull. But seeing his beauty the king decided to instead breed the bull with his own herd. Poseidon seeing this was angry so his cursed the mind of the queen and the bull. That night the queen sneaked out in a wooden bull suit, and fooled the creature and made love to it. This resulted in her pregnancy with the Minotaur. Then Poseidon cursed the mind of the bull itself. Causing it to go on a rampage to destroy everything in its path. Hercules had to got to the island of Crete and take this bull alive. He found the creature and using his brute force overpowered it and brought it back to King Eurystheus alive.

What is the purpose of the story of Hercules and Cacus in the Aeneid book 8?

Like many of the details in the poem, this story provided back-histories for Roman traditions and notable Roman citizens. Overall the point of the story was to establish why there was a Roman cult that worshipped Hercules, but names of priests who served at the altar of Hercules were also supposed to bring to mind well-known current-day Roman citizens and "prove" the legitimacy of their nobility by tracing their lineage back either to the earliest days of the tradition, or for many , by tracing it all the way back to Troy.


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.


Is Hercules a greek hero?

Actually no, Hercules is the roman equivalent of Heracles, a demigod (half god half human). So the father of Hercules is Jupiter/Heracles is Zeus. On the other side of the problem Hercules/Heracles are not two different persons but to different names of the same idea. Anyway the bottom line is that either you call him Hercules or Heracles you refer to the same thing. also there are some differences between the two: Hercules, it is now believed that substitutes a old italic hero called Garanus with similar attributes and story.
