3 CHARACTERISTICS OF HERCULES Considered the strongest man on earth Self-confidence Lack of intelligence Intelligence did not figure largely in anything he did and is often conspicuously absent (Hamilton, p. 167). personification. Subject to fierce anger and outbursts when he realized he was wrong he would apologize profusely and take any punishment necessary. Many considered this to explain his greatness of soul Killed his music teacher because he hated music.
4 CHARACTERISTICS OF HERCULES Sometimes he punished himself. Spent most of his life apologizing. Couldn t be trusted to run a kingdom like Theseus. Could only think about what to do in a conflict.
5 UNUSUAL CONCEPTION/BIRTH Zeus disguised himself as Amphitryon, Alcmena s husband, when Amphitryon was away at war. Zeus and Alcmena conceived Hercules. When Hera discovered this she was furious and wanted to kill Hercules.
6 HERCULES REVEALED Alcmena had another son with her husband Amphitryon Iphicles. Iphicles was not like Hercules, and often ran away from danger. It was revealed when the two were in bed last night and two snakes crept into their crib while they were asleep. Iphicles screamed and tried to climb out of the crib, while Hercules killed the two snakes. The prophet Teiresias prophesied Hercules would be the hero of all mankind (Hamilton, p. 169).
7 HERA S REVENGE Hera was still angry with Zeus exploits and sent madness upon Hercules. He went mad and killed his three children and his wife, Princess Megara. When his senses came to him he had no memory of what he did. Amphitryon had to tell Hercules what happened and why Hera did this to him.
8 THESEUS TO THE RESCUE Theseus persuaded Hercules not to kill himself. They traveled to Athens where he met with an oracle who told him he could only be purged of such guilt by paying a horrible penance. He traveled to see Eurystheus, King of Mycenae, for redemption. It s said that Eurystheus was under the influence of Hera.
