Hercules - The Complete Story - Greek Mythology

[@renaldoking6]

The 12 labors of Hercules is always an incredible legend that it will never be forgotten.

[@Ethan2Tone]

12 is always that number that just always pops up throughout history.

[@venveng]

You mean Heracles?

[@FutureMythology]

An exquisite jewel is this video depicting the twelve labors of Hercules. It does an excellent job of exploring the unbelievable exploits of this mythical hero. The depiction of Hercules' struggles is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and reverence, as he faces off against terrifying monsters and fantastical beings. The narratives are interesting and instructive, shedding light on Greek mythology and Hercules's lasting impact. Bravo to the makers for so brilliantly adapting these classic stories!

When I first learned of Heracles, I was so sad when I found out he died and was left at that at the end. And I was mad for so long, because I thought he died for nothing. This absolute king of a hero deserved everything. So when this little piece, for the ending was him reuniting with Zeus as a god, and marrying again, even getting into the good graces of Hera, I am just beyond happy. But I am tho curious what happened to his previous wife that poisoned him.

HIS NAME IS HERACLES - The Mythology Guy

[@EricGrant-qz7dg]

This idea may sound fan-based, but something about this gives me an idea. What is Zeus and Metis had the first son before Athena, the strongest of all of Zeus' children that Zeus decided to put him into a kind of training similar to the 12 labors, and in the future Zeus' first son would become the father of Hercules and his brother. What would any of you would say the name of the first child of Zeus and Metis before Athena would be?

Yea... the 12 Labors Of Heracles wasn't given as a way to distract or prevent Heracles from taking the throne... They were given to him as punishment and as a way to atone for killing his wife and children which only happened because Hera magically drove him mad. And the way Heracles ended up under Eurystheus' service is because he sought out the Oracle Of Delphi for guidance on what to do to atone.

Hi, thanks for your comment and sharing your thoughts.
