When Hercules was born to Alcmene, Heracles called him. But in Roman, Herakles Hercules pronunciation, which is the name we use for Hercules to this day. Hercules in Greek mythology is a lot of courage and strength. Hercules bravery earned him a place among the gods. After leaving the world of mortals, has found a place on Mount Olympus, home of the gods'.
Zeus, king of the gods was her husband's infidelity. He had a weakness for worldly pleasures. Fellin love with Alcmene, wife of Amphitryon. In a short time, Alcmene conceived Hercules. This angered Hera and she tried to kill Hercules. Hercules survived his first deadly attack of a miracle.
When Hercules reached adulthood he was a famous warrior. Fell in love with a beautiful woman called Megara. Megara became the mother of the sons of Hercules' and together they made a happy family. However, there were things to be different. Hera has a vote to irritate Hercules during hisLife. He tricked Hercules into a wild rage. In his rage, the mortal god Hercules killed his family. This was exactly what Hera wanted!
When Hercules returned to his normal state of mind, he saw things were beyond saving. He prayed to Apollo to get rid of his crime. Apollo was the god of the sun, which could see into the future. We find in Greek mythology, Hercules sought his advice. Apollo assigned him ten main tasks (later he was twelve years) as a way to clean hisSoul.
The Delphic oracle sent him to Tiryns, where the king Eurystheus ruled. Hercules was to serve as a laborer for 12 years of his life. However, the service is not difficult to useless. Apollo had promised him immortality. It had become a god. However, the great Hercules of Greek mythology is a problem, Hera. Actually keep the promise of life Hercules' miserable, as if they could. However, with the help of Hermes and Athena, Hercules drew his mandate12 years with honors. In addition, death has become the largest on earth to be a god.
Hercules in Greek mythology - what so special?
The Lord of the penance of Hercules and his eventual success is what makes it so special. His success brought him immortality, which would have been unthinkable for ordinary mortals. The first task of Hercules' was in it, remove the skin of the Nemean lion, after recording terrible. His next task was to kill the Hydra Lernean.Lernean The Hydra was a serpent with nine heads, which never gave peace, the lives of those around him. The third task was for him a Hind (a sacred deer) from Ceryneia the king. The deer was a favorite of Diana, goddess of the moon.
The fourth task of Hercules was to bring a live wild boar Erymanthian. It 'was very dangerous for humans and animals live around the mountain Erymanthian. Then Hercules was asked to clean the Augean stables of the king one day. Think about what is so greaton it? Augean king had an amazing amount of livestock of cows, bulls, goats, sheep and horses. Hercules proposed to King that Augean stables cleaned only when used with a tenth of his cattle Hercules rewarded.
After this success, Eurystheus was planning a little 'harder to make Hercules. Ordered to force Hercules, a huge flock of birds that are mounted on a lake near the town of Stymphalus. Goddess Athena helped him with a pair of bronze krotala, a similar itemof castanets. The bull of Crete was an easy task for Hercules. Hercules wrestled the bull, and then brought back to King Eurystheus.
The eighth task was to bring the Man-Eating Horses of Diomedes. It 'was the battle against the army of Amazon women in the belt of Hippolyta, the queen to follow. The tenth labor was great. Hercules had to travel the world to bring the cattle of the monster Geryon. He had three heads and three sets of legs all attached to theLife.
The challenging task was the eleventh. Eurystheus asked Hercules to get the apples of the Hesperides. Those were the golden apples of Hera, Zeus talent. These apples were guarded by a dragon named Ladon hundred, and also by the Hesperides, daughters of Atlas. The other obstacle was that Hercules had no idea where these apples of the Hesperides. Hercules took place at the end of Nereus, who took until Nereus gave him the position ofApples of the Hesperides.
Then Hercules found out through Prometheus, Hercules had the help he could obtain from the Atlas are apples. Hercules agreed to hold the heavens and the earth while Atlas fetched the apples. When Atlas returned with the apples, Hercules said, when he would hold the heavens and the earth for the rest of the time, which leads them to Eurystheus himself. But Hercules, Atlas, taking him to remain on earth until they deceive the padded shoulders. AtlasHercules place holding the earth, and Hercules took the apples and ran.
After the great Hercules do all sorts of amazing commissions Eurystheus sure it has failed the last time so he ordered Hercules to abduct Cerberus, the beast mob. Have you ever heard a man who lives to visit Hades? However, Greek mythology tells us Hercules was a common man. He was a hero.
Finally, all the functions, purified his soul and save the princessTroy from a ravenous sea monster. He allowed the Giants to beat even Zeus in a great battle for control of Olympus. He married again to Deianira fascinating. She handed him a hand with what I mistakenly believed to be a magic love potion was covered. She was told that the balm would be the people they love forever.
Ironically, it was poison, sunburned skin Hercules. Hercules, able to endure the pain of his friends asked to make a fire. Then Herculeswas about to be burned alive on the fire. Seeing the gods, Zeus and Hercules, he thought he had suffered enough. So he asked Hera their anger against Hercules, what happened. Then Hercules was Olympus in Athena's car, which led to the request Zeus'.
This greek mortal Hercules is undoubtedly the greatest hero of Greek mythology. Hercules is still perfect as the mythical character.
