Hera is the mother of all by religion standart, and all woman worship her and also sacrafice to her (they was of modern times feminist). Today we see it went mother murder their child. In the ancient time you was luky if they drop you in the front side of a wealthy house, becoming their service for live. Hercules sorvied his mother in a time most vulnerable on a child live. He was worship by regular mensand embrase by famus man (Alexander,Mark Antony).We can said the most workshiped of all gods
NO MOVIE WILL EVER TRULY DO JUSTICE TO INCREDIBLE HERCULES,OR ANCIENT GREECE FOR THAT MATTER.EVEN THE FEEL OF ANCIENT GREECE ISN'T REALLY TEDIOUSLY STUDIED AND PORTRAYED! Plus,most people today,even so-called historians would probably be UNPLEASANTLY surprised by just the LOOK alone of some ancient "GREEKS".
@kremeroxoner well the ancients is a toatal different set of maind of are nontheistic & christian world, the closet u can get is the americans in the present. Politheism opend the religion tolerance and closing the religions war and political presuress only war for resourcess,
I believe Hera kept going after Hercules because she couldn't well oppose Zeus for his adultery, being the king of the gods as he was, so she takes out her anger on Hercules.
@Greatsaiyakirby We can not forget that Hera oposed Zeus, and convince the other gods to do so, they was defided and she was conden to hange form the sky on golden chain (maybe a methaphore to stay at home in a confort and manage home resourses, "domestication") Apollo was condemt o build the Troyan walls, and becoming the founder of Troy.
Easy answer - the original story wasn't commercially viable, evil mother, male lover, brutally violent, Hercules wasn't appropriate for a more traditional audience - especially children.
@inotaishu1 - Oh yes, Hera was very much so the villain of the Hercules legend, hating her bastard son because he reminded her of Zeus' rampant cheating. As for Hercules' male lover, I don't know his name, but I know in many legends he had one.
@inotaishu1 That's what I meant by 'Bastard Son', Hercules was Zeus' son, who was Hera's brother and husband, but not his actual mother. I know I put it wrong, but I knew she wasn't his mother. :D
@Greatsaiyakirby Ok, and I checked it, the gay (pun intended) had more than one male lover. According to Plutarh his male lover were "beyond counting". What do you think was he top or bottom?:D
love this show. anybody see the movie hercules(and no not the disney cartoon one) but the other one, that guy was like steroid stong not sexy at all the guy who played hercules in the movie haha!
@AzraelKnight Hercules was a drunk but he was influence by the enviroment he live and the desire to blend and fund a placed for him. The evil of Hera she understood that and used to destroyed, he never understood that, he always seek for her approval. The story of hercules is not a black/white story, is more to that (that why Freud choose Greek mytology as his faivor)."Why we do what we do", how we all are influence,He is the symbol that strong man weakness and inocent.
The irony lies in Hercules's name. The greek version is Herakles or Heracles notice that the main particle of his name is the very same as Hera's. He is actually named for the woman who hates him.
Poor hercules great hercules, course by his mother, ignore by his father a servent to his people and a founder the olympics games.
