Hercules, the greatest hero in Greek mythology, also known as Hercules, was named Hercules in Roman mythology. The son of Zeus and alcmene, the Lord God, was hated by Hera, the wife of Zeus, because of his birth. He is very brave and powerful. Later, I completed 12 tasks that were praised as "impossible". In addition, he rescued Prometheus who was bound, hid his identity, joined Jason's heroic adventure team, and helped him get golden fleece. Heracles was a clever man, but he was persecuted by bad guys and burned himself to death. After his death, he climbed the holy mountain of Olympus and became a Hercules. Fairy tales about his punishment of evil and his courage to struggle have always been the theme that writers and artists are willing to express. In today's western world, the word Hercules has become synonymous with Hercules and strong man.

Name source:

Eurystheus called him to serve. He went to ask for a sign from God, and the sign confirmed that he would complete 65,438+02 jobs for Eurystos, and began to call him Heracles, which means "Hera brings glory to people" or "a person who has achieved something because of Hera's persecution".

Date of birth:

Hercules's father was Zeus, and his mother was Poerxiusi's granddaughter and alcmene, the wife of King Amphitryon of Thebes. Before alcmene gave birth, Zeus decided to let the descendants of Poerxiusi born on this day rule Mycenae. Hera, the wife of Zeus, was jealous that alcmene was her husband's mistress. In addition, Zeus predicted to the gods that his son had a bright future and would go far in the future, so she also hated Heracles very much. Therefore, Hera delayed alcmene's delivery and made Poerxiusi's grandson Eurystheus born earlier.

When alcmene gave birth to Heracles, he was worried that his safety in the palace was not guaranteed, so he put him in a basket, covered with a little straw, and then put it in a place, which was later called Heracles Yard. A magical opportunity brought Athena and Hera to this land. Athena saw that the baby was beautiful, liked it very much, and felt very poor, so she suggested Hera to nurse the baby. He bit Hera's nipple and sucked her milk greedily, which made her nipple ache. Hera angrily threw the child to the ground. Athena sympathetically picked up the child, took it back to the city and gave it to the care of Queen alcmene. Alcmene recognized this as her son at a glance, and she happily put the child in the cradle. Alcmene abandoned her children because she was afraid of Hera. Unexpectedly, the jealous rival saved her son with milk.

Not only that, Heracles sucked Hera's milk, and since then she has gained eternal life from every fetus, so she is extremely powerful. But Hera soon understood who the child who was sucking her milk was, and knew that he had now returned to the palace. She regretted not getting rid of Hercules. Then she sent two terrible poisonous snakes, climbed into the palace and killed the child, trying to strangle him in the cradle. Unexpectedly, Heracles, who was young, had great strength because she sucked Hera's milk, but she subdued two poisonous snakes, so Hera had to give up.

Growth:

When he grew up, Count casto and Kai Long Xing Centauri taught him all kinds of martial arts and knowledge. Apollo's white-haired son Renos taught him to read and write. Hercules showed his talent and ability in his study, but he couldn't stand the torture. Old Reno was an impatient teacher. On one occasion, he hit Hercules for no reason. Hercules grabbed his harp and threw it at the teacher's head. He immediately fell to the ground and died. Hercules regretted it very much, but he was taken to court. Radamantis, an upright and knowledgeable judge, acquitted him. The judge issued a new law that those who kill in self-defense are innocent.

However, Amphitryon was worried that his powerful son would commit similar crimes in the future, so he sent him to the countryside to herd cattle.

Before he went to live, he refused the temptation of the evil goddess of virtue and decided to follow her advice. He is determined to choose the path of virtue. Soon, he found an opportunity to do good.

At that time, Greece was full of dense jungles and swamps, and there were fierce lions, wild boars and other evil animals everywhere. Therefore, removing these evil obstacles and liberating Greece from this harmful beast is one of the great goals of ancient heroes. Hercules was destined to face this arduous task. When he heard that there was a terrible lion doing evil in King Amphitryon's pasture at the foot of Mount Kitalen, the young hero heard the voice of "virtue". He immediately made a decision and was armed to the teeth. He climbed up the barren mountain, killed the lion, peeled off the lion's skin, carried it on his shoulder, and then cut off the lion's head to make a helmet.

When I came back from hunting, I met an envoy sent by King Elji North of the Ming Dynasty. They collect tribute from Thebes every year, which is an unreasonable and humiliating burden. Hercules regarded himself as the savior of all the oppressed people, quickly knocked down these unscrupulous messengers, then tied them up and sent them back to their king.

Elgi North arrogantly demanded that the king of Thebes hand over the murderer. Creon, king of Thebes, was afraid of each other's strength and was ready to meet each other's demands. Hercules mobilized a group of brave young people to fight against the enemy with him. However, people had no weapons, because Ye Ming collected all the weapons to prevent the Thebes from rebelling. When Athena saw this, she called Hercules to the temple and armed him with her armor. There are also many weapons in the temple, which were seized by their ancestors in the war and offered as trophies to the gods. The young man who came with Hercules picked up his weapon and went out with Hercules. They only have a small team, while the Ming people are huge legions with strong forces. The two armies met in a narrow place. In this small place, although Ye Ming has many soldiers, they can't show them at all. Elgi's army was completely defeated and he died in the battle. However, Amphitryon, the stepfather of Hercules, was also killed by an arrow in the war.

After the war, Hercules quickly advanced into Menos, olko, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. He rushed into the city, burned the palace and destroyed the city. To thank him, King Creon of Thebes married his daughter Megara to him. The gods also gave the demigod hero many gifts: Hermes gave him a sword, Apollo gave him a bow, hephaestus gave him a golden quiver, and Athena gave him a brand-new bronze shield. His mother, alcmene, remarried to Judge Radaman Tis.

Become a god

After being free, Hercules abandoned Megara and went to Okalia to propose to Iole, the daughter of Eurytos. At this time, his master's cow was stolen. In order to prove his innocence, he went out to look for it with Eurytos' son. Hera drove him crazy and killed his companion. In order to atone for his sins, he became a slave to Empler, Queen of Lydia, for three years.

Legend has it that he also participated in the heroic voyage of Argo and the hunting of Kaludon, and attacked King Laomedon of Troy. When he attacked Pilars, Hades personally helped the local king nereus, who was seriously injured.

He later married Diane Naira of Kaluton, and on the way to Trakys with his wife, Nessus Centauri tried to steal his wife, and he shot her to death with a poisoned arrow. Before he died, the centaur persuaded Agnella to collect his poisonous blood so that it could be used to restore her husband's love for her in the future.

Hercules captured Iolai when he attacked Okalia, so Anniya was afraid of being abandoned and gave her husband a shirt stained with toxic blood. After he put on this dress, he was in unbearable pain and finally threw himself into the fire.

According to Zeus' wishes, he became the god of Olympus, and Hera reconciled with him and betrothed Herb, the goddess of youth, to him as his wife.
