Years and years after Hercules had fought Hades and won that battle, his life had unexpected turns. He got to married his one true love Meg and had a beautiful child name Luna. Their daughter was half mortal, half goddess because Hercules was a God and Meg was mortal. He was the son of Zeus and Hera. Luna didn’t know she was half god, because Hercules and Meg made the decision to keep it hidden and Zeus was furious about that. Now they all lived in Thebes and Luna grew up as human as could be. She always had this unbearable strength, charming beauty, and a loving spirit. She always knew something wasn’t right, but couldn’t ask her parents because she knew they wouldn’t tell her. She had always had dreams about living on Mount Olympus with Zeus …show more content…

*Hercules and Meg enter Luna’s room to tell her about her life*
Hercules: “ Good morning and happy birthday Luna!”
Meg: “ Happy birthday sweetheart”
Luna: Thank you, do I get to go out and celebrate it with my friends tonight?”
Hercules: “ That’s the thing, we wanted to talk to you about something…”
They glanced at each other with sad eyes because they know that this is something that she should’ve known earlier in life. They were starting to regret their decision.
Hercules: “ So you know how you told us about those dreams you were having about Zeus and we told that it meant nothing. Well we lied… You were cursed as a baby which made you forget about the fact that you’re actually a God.”
* Luna was in shocked and just stared at her parents in disbelief. She couldn’t believed that her parents had lied to her for so many years.
Luna: “What? Why? Why did you find the need to lie to me all these years?”
Meg: “ We were trying to protect and keep you safe from people using you for your talents.”
Hercules: “ Now that’s it your 17th birthday, you must learn to fight these creatures of the nights and Hade’s mother Ursula, in order for the curse to be broken on your 18th birthday. I will teach you everything you need to know to fight these

    Hercules has an interesting origin. Hercules was conceived by Zeus of divine nature and a mortal woman named Alcmene. Zeus appeared to her one night disguised as her husband Amphitryon. Amphitryon then appeared to her “again” causing her to have two sons one of divinity and the other of morality, their names were Hercules and Iphicles. Hera, not too pleased by her husband’s deceitful ways made Zeus swear that the next descendant of Perseus to be borne will be the high king. Zeus agrees to this thinking that the next borne will be Hercules, but Hera has plenty of tricks up her sleeve. The goddess determined to rob Hercules of his birthright enlist the help of Lithia, goddess of childbirth. Lithia speeds up Eurystheus birth, and slows down Hercules’ and Iphicles’ birth.

Zeus has taken part in many Greek and Roman myths alike, either as Zeus or as his Roman counterpart of Jupiter. Unlike most gods in mythology though, Zeus is the main character in almost all of the myths he is mentioned in. Whether the myth is about his epic clash against the Titans, his fight against the Giants or even about his extramarital affairs, Zeus always seems to come out of these conflicts unaffected and triumphant. When examining Zeus’ character though, it is important to note that Zeus is a god that exhibits human characteristics throughout most of his myths. Growth is one of the many human attributes that Zeus portrays in many of his myths.
