I now know that hercules was not what the disney films made him to be. he was a very crul person who often did not care for the people he came across. even if the people he slays are inocent if there in the way of his mission they will be killed. He is flawed this way like most heros. he has major tunnel vision and cant see the damage that he is causing around him.
I know that Hercules was born of Zeus and he was born very strong. He was raised by a mortal family. He did not know about his powers and his gifts until he was older and he went to prove himself on Mt Olympus to the gods.
he is strong And scary he is mean. he is courageous and considered himself a god. he was willing to take on gods and he was very cocky. nothing earthly can kill him. he was eventually killed by magic. his emotions were strong. his intellect wasn't strong. he is always angry.
he is a great hearo he does not think things out and acts on impulse and dos not think things out
The extent of my knowledge was the Disney animation of Hercules. After reading the true story, Hercules was a very destructive person instead of the hero the movie taught him to be. It was very interesting to see the difference between both the interpretations of Hercules since they are very different.
I know that he is strong and the son of Zeus. After reading I know that he was very emotional and had various outbursts and caused a lot of damage
I know he is a very massively strong son of zeus. Now I also know that he is able to have such control of his strength because he cant control his emotions.
I know that Hercules was the son of Zeus who was extremely strong. I know that Hera was constantly revengeful against him and tried to have him killed. I also know that she drove him insane and made him kill his family and then went to Apollo where he had to do the twelve labors in order to absolve him of his guilt.
The extent of my understanding of Hercules is the disney movie. It is one of my favorite disney movies so I watch it all the time. I know the account might not be super accurate, but the movie is very good
Hercules the disney movie and the mythology book are much different. in the book it portrays him as short tempered but he would regain himself and be remorseful, but in the movie he never showed anger.
