Hercules discovered he was half god when he learned about his true parentage from a conversation with a mentor, often depicted as his teacher, Phil. Throughout his early life, he exhibited extraordinary strength and abilities, which puzzled both him and those around him. Eventually, he learned that he was the son of Zeus and therefore a demigod, which explained his unique powers and set him on a path to fulfill his heroic destiny.
