Hercules was the half-mortal son of Zeus, through Aclmene, making him just another of several illegitimate children of Zeus. Hera, the goddess of marriage, certainly can't tolerate symbols of her husband's extramarital activities and was often vengeful against his lovers and children. Hercules, thus, is not an exception to this.

Hera hated Hercules because he was not her child, but the son of Zeus and another woman he cheated with. That's why she tried to kill Hercules.Even though "Hercules" means something like "pride of Hera," Hercules is NOT Hera's son, as many people often confuse. :)
Hera hated Hercules. She was the wife of Zeus and hated Hercules because he was the son of Zeus; Zeus was never very faithful to Hera. Thus, she attempted to kill him in several ways. When he was small, she sent a pair of snakes to his cradle, intent on killing him and his "brother", the son of the King and Queen Hercules was living with. Hercules grabbed the snakes and banged their heads together, killing them. This was the first indication that Hercules was not a normal child. Later on, Hera sent Hercules into a fit of rage, during which he murdered his wife and sons. Hera hated Hercules.
