Phil was knocked off Pegasus and wakes up in time to learn of Meg's involvement with Hades. The date is ended by Phil, irate at Herc for skipping training. Megara, on assignment from Hades, convinces him to play 'hooky', or truant for the day, going on a date. He believes himself a true hero and is distraught when Zeus tells him he has not quite gotten there yet, unsure of what more he can do. But Hercules dispatches the Hydra and, during the song 'Zero to Hero', is shown to dispatch every other monster Hades sends against him.īy this time, Hercules has become the toast of Greece: famous, rich, and perhaps a little too cocky. Megara relates the events to Hades, by which he learns that Hercules is still alive and so sends a variety of monsters to kill Hercules, the first of which is the Lernaean Hydra. Hercules then intervenes, defeating Nessus (after a couple of disastrous missteps) and rescuing Megara (who felt she didn't even need his help in the first place.) Phil and Pegasus dislike her. On his way, he encounters Megara, who is being pursued by the lecherous Nessus. When Hercules has reached adulthood and has passed his training, he sets off with Philoctetes to become a Hero in Thebes. He goes to see Philoctetes (a satyr), a trainer of heroes who initially says he will not train Hercules, having been let down too many times by losers who couldn't go the distance, but changes his mind after Zeus zaps him with a bolt of lightning. As of that moment, Hercules's journey to godhood had begun. A grown-up Pegasus also joins Hercules as a constant companion. He explains that the only way Hercules can rejoin his parents on Mount Olympus is to prove himself a 'true hero'. While in the temple, Zeus himself appears (embodying his own statue), and reveals Hercules's origin.

Hercules sets off to find his place in the world and goes to the Temple of Zeus for guidance. His foster parents decide to finally come clean to him about the circumstances of his adoption, showing him a medallion they find that bears the symbol of the gods (Zeus's lightning bolt). On one occasion, he accidentally flattens the local market town during a game of discus. He desperately wants to fit in, but as he cannot control his godly strength he only ends up causing havoc and alienating those around him. Hercules grows into a strong but clumsy teenager. Because Herc is now mortal, however, they are unable to take him back to Olympus. Too late, Zeus and the other gods discover the kidnapping. Amphytryon and Alcmene adopt the child, considering his arrival a gift from the gods since they are themselves childless. Pain and Panic nevertheless attack him in the guise of snakes and discover that because he did not drink the last drop he has retained his godly strength and they are beaten back. Although they succeed in the first part of the plan, carrying Hercules down to Earth, they are interrupted by two human peasants (Amphitryon and Alcmene) before Hercules finishes drinking and the final drop falls wasted on the ground. Knowing that as a god, Hercules is immortal, Hades sends his two lackeys, Pain and Panic, to kidnap Hercules and turn him mortal by means of a magic potion. Hades wants to take control of Mount Olympus and the world, and he sees that if Hercules chooses to fight when he is older, his plans will be ruined. Hercules is very strong he has a super strength that he was born with and ever since he kept it and knew with it, and when he got older he started to help out the villagers with heavy stuff that they could not carry, and helped them form people who will try to come in the village and do wrong stuff like steal and beat up people. Hercules, however, managed to squeeze Hades' hand in order to drop the pacifier before it almost went into his mouth. Hades tried to give his gift, a spiked skull-shaped pacifier to Hercules by attempting to stick it into the baby's mouth. It seems to be a joyous occasion, although one god is not happy about the new arrival: Hercules's evil uncle Hades, lord of the Underworld. Zeus himself creates the winged-horse Pegasus as a gift. On the celebration of his birth, during which the Olympian gods present the infant god with a multitude of gifts. In this movie, Hera has been recast as a loving mother instead of a spiteful stepmother like in Mythological tales. Hercules was born on ' Mount Olympus' with all the powers of a god, to parents, Zeus and Hera.

He does not appear in Descendants, but he was mentioned in School of Secrets. He is the son of Zeus and Hera, the husband of Megara, and the father of Herkie. Hercules is one of the heroes of Auradon and the hero of Greece. Tate Donovan Relevant Pages GALLERY QUOTES RELATIONSHIPS
