Hercules actually fell in love numerous times. The most "romantic" love interest of Hercules was probably Princess Iole of Ochalia. Hercules met her while on his campaign with Jason and the Argonauts.

Hercules fell in love with her and wanted her hand in marriage. King Eurytus (her father) held an Archery competition in which the champion would be given Iole's hand in marraige. However, King Eurytus barred Hercules from the competition half-way through. It was common knowledge that he had killed his last wife and children in a mad rage which Hera had put upon him. In his anger Hercules killed her brother, Iphitos by hurling him from the city walls. Hercules left to continue on with his life always being in love with Iole.

Later Hercules met and wooed Deianira. He had children with her and was granted a kingdom through marraige with her. When he had his kingdom he stormed Ochalia to gain revenge on Eurytus. After the seige he took Iole for one of his concubines.

His love for her caused his wife, Deianira, to search out a love potion with which she could gain back her husband's love. A centaur named Nessus had once told her that his poisoned blood would be a powerful love potion if she soaked it into a cloak and made Hercules wear it. Not knowing it was a lie, she did so. The poisoned cloak soaked into Hercules' skin and he died.

His dying wish was that his eldest son, Hyllus, would take care of Iole. In this sense Hercules' love was always strongest for Iole.

Hercules was not evil but Hades was evil and Hades was the God of the Underworld and the King of the Darkness...Hercules was a Demi-God...so Hercules had to kill Hades and protect his family when ever Hades gets a plan or idea Hercules had to listen to the idea but if he didn't he still would stop Hades doing his plan or idea.
