People in Athens harbored animosity toward Hercules primarily due to his association with violence and chaos, stemming from his infamous twelve labors, which often resulted in collateral damage. Additionally, his brash behavior and tendency to challenge authority made him a controversial figure. Some Athenians also felt threatened by Hercules' immense strength and heroism, as it overshadowed their own contributions to society. Ultimately, his complex persona stirred mixed feelings among the populace.
