In Greek mythologies Heracles and Disney’s Hercules there are many differences that can be spotted. A few of which I will be discussing are when he is a Demi-God, meeting Meg, and when he does his twelve labors.

...one of Helios' cattle. Zeus then created a storm that killed all of the remaining men and wrecked his ship, leaving Odysseus stranded.
Hercules had succeeded and in return he achieved “fame, glory and peace”, which was his ‘kleos’, but as a playable character he can still gain more ‘kleos’ by fighting enemies (Wiki). His strength is emphasized as it is in the lore and most of his abilities revolve around his sheer, brute strength, and establishes him as one of the more powerful players to use. Smite portrays Hercules accurately and although it uses the Roman mythology of Hercules it is not that different from the classical Greek legends, and the main difference is that the names are changed to the Roman versions of the Gods’ names.
This paper is to show that Heracles is the prime example of a hero’s journey through his actions and the struggles that he faced during his life until he was about to die but instead of death, his father, Zeus, saved him and he conquered the mortal realm, to become a god.
As Zeus’s son with the mortal Alcmena he had problems with his stepmother Hera who is the queen of the Gods(A&E networks).

By this development in the movie, the story is more entertaining to watch hence making it a good movie. Furthermore, Hercules demonstrates how he found out what was truly important to him while going through his journey to find his true parents and what happened to him in the past. As the movie progresses, he finds out that he was Zeus's son and a demi-god himself, but had to restore the powers he had lost. With all his hard work and training, he becomes a demi-god again, but chooses love over his powers and remains on earth with
My Greek god is Hercules. I’m sure all of you know him from the movie created by Disney. We can all admit that he is one of the most famous gods out there.

After discussing Greek gods in class, being intrigued by the topic and wanting to know more was all I thought about. The Greeks had many gods and heroes that represented many things like war, beauty, sea, sky, and the afterlife to just name a few.

“The Labors of Hercules” is a tale written by the Perseus Project. This tale shows that even when bad things happen, good things will come later. However, those good things will only come if you work for them, even when things don’t go your way. The Disney version of this story, made in 1997, is a tale whose moral is basically the same as the Perseus project. The two tales start out differently, but are similar in plots. In the story, Hercules ends up becoming a hero after overcoming several setbacks. These setback occur in the beginning of the story, the things that get in Hercules way in the story’s, Hercules becoming a hero all are very similar but alike in ways.
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
The Greek God Hercules is a legendary hero whose story has been retold in many ways, and each time his Greek archetype is modified or changed completely. Hercules the Myth is an innocent archetype seeking loyalty from the gods and village people, while in the movie Hercules starts out as an orphan and seeks a place where he belongs.
