Essay About Hercules

Hercules
What is a hero? Is it someone with superhuman abilities or god like power or is it just simple people doing the right thing? In this story it’s the combination of the two cause my hero is Hercules. Hercules’s story begin in a place called mt. Oplympus where gods all alike and different go to and where his father Zues rules over the world and beyond.But soon he would be taken away from his home up in the sky by Hates ,the ruler of the dead and the underworld, his minions and took him to earth and transported him from god to mortal ,but he still had one thing that didn’t change ,his strength that was stronger than many gods.Soon he figured out that he is not meant to be on earth but somewhere else far away. So he starts off to mt Olympus where only mortals can see the statue of

Zues and when he gets there the once statue becomes real life and soon hercules is talking to his real father and he tells him”to become a god again you must find Philocetetes the trainer of hero and when you prove yourself a true hero that’s when you may come and rejoin the gods.”Soon he heads off with his long time forgotten buddy Pegasus his half bird half horse companion to phil the trainer of hero’s.When they get there phil is “retired” , but soon after Hercules says his father is Zues he comes to his senses and trains Hercules. After day after day training phil has trained Hercules to be a force to recon with and phil decides to try his new hero out against a foe named heracles a half man half horse beast who is soon defeated by Hercules.After the fight hates found out that he had defeated his allie heracles he wanted to test Hercules out himself.

Hates sent landslides ,multi headed beasts, and even giant lions,but never lost to one which infuriated Hates so he thought of one thing that would crush him, a dansel in distress,hercules fell for the girl and lost all of his strength in a deal to help the girl . This was almost a fatal decision cause little did he know hates was to free the horible titans that wanted revenge on his father, and would crush him in their path without his strength. But then meg got hurt saving Hercules and the deal was broken, he had regained his strength,as fast as he could go he flew with his companion and saved the gods, including his father, from the titans, but could not save meg before she died .So he raced to hates and and jumped into the pool of death to save his lady. At this point he had done something that was heroic not fighting a bests or saving lives it was risking his life for another and after this moment he turned into a god.Just like his father said “a true hero isn’t judged by the size of his strength ,but by the strength of his heart.”After thinking about it Hercules gave up his godhood and stayed on earth with the person he loved , his dansel. So as I had said

,who is a hero? I think my question has been answered, it’s not by what you look like, it’s what you do that makes you a true hero.
