His mother was married to Amphitryon and she slept with both her husband and Zeus on the same night, but Zeus was disguised as her husband. When his mother learned that Hera was angry, she abandoned the child and Athena takes the child to Hera and asks Hera to breast feed him. The breast milk of Hera helps to make the baby strong.

Continental arms company shotgun single break action how do you find the age?
A single shot Continental Arms Co should be a product of Harrington and Richardson, but since the company was in business for over a hundred years (1872 - 1985) and it is probably not serialized and even if it has a serial number there are no records available to check, you will probably never determine its age with any accuracy. My best guess would be sometime after the start of WW1 which ended the supply of inexpensive shotguns from Europe and the early 1950s when the use of 'store brands' became less fashionable.

Hercules is no doubt a really old legend about a demi god that was born to the Greek god Zeus and his wife, Hera. Disney made a movie about him, though, like Aladdin is to Arabian Nights, isn't quite right, but it gets the gist of the legend. At the end, he allegedly becomes a full fledged god when he risks his life for his love, Meg/Megara, when she is thrown into the green whirlpool of the dead, out of which Herc comes alive and glowing, like a god.
His heroic deeds and actions have, through the years, been adapted and expanded to fit many different social and political agendas. Hercules was described as brave, strong, loyal, compassionate, and hard-working.
