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.
