the original uncensored Hercules might have no problem with having that many wives, after he became a God that is, though he was still quite a ladies man even as a demigod

If i remember Hercules took care of his family. Thats why he had to do those twelve labors

[@b.y.o.p.9035]

Well, he wasn't an absent father before. He was there for his three kids, until Hera took that away. Of course, having kids by 50 different women would be an absolute tough job, so I can see anyone (almost) declining to take that role.

My advice for Herc would've been to pace yourself. Don't go for all 50 at once, just have 2 or 3 a day, and enjoy the best month of your life. And if you're really a one woman kind of man, then just take them one at a time.

Hercules knows how it feels to grow up without a father. Why would he impregnate fifty women knowing he couldn't raise so many kids at the same time?

[@niketesambrosiosdelagrece2266]

Heracles in mythology had many children, hundreds. As a demigod, the personification of strength and virility, he spread his seeds. :D His children were secured; kings or tribal leaders often offered him their own daughters to impregnate them. These girls/women were rich, had property, time, servants/educators and were also usually later married to some noble. So the upbringing and provision of Heracles' children were the best in their time. Something like the absence of a "biological" father and sadness, or complexes from that - that was completely out of place (that's today's mentality, back then it was completely different). Those descendants did not suffer in any way - physically or psychologically/mentally (on the contrary). His children grew up in the palace - where they had also their grandfather/king as their role model. Herakles had also "own, official" children with his wives (Megara and Deianira - and maybe Omphale), with whom he spent significantly more time. :D But also he was on the journeys... Plus something like "absentee father" was something very common for much of history... However, there were usually enough male role models in the household - if not "biological" fathers, then "adoptive" or grandfathers, brothers/brothers-in-law and others (because households, cohabitation, children raising and society at all used to function differently in history; including mentality). Hercules - the show - is good, but for entertainment. It has nothing to do with myths, Greece or anything like that. In addition, the whole thing is taken from today's society and its view of the world (plus fun, parody, etc.). BTW Heracles grew up with a good ("adoptive") father.
