His cousin, Eurystheus, was given orders from Hera to put Heracles through the most demeaning, laborious, and dangerous tasks ever. He had to compensate for his sins by being a slave to his poor cousin who had despised him because of his power. She plagued him with insanity, and he killed his children unwittingly. Hera had enough of Heracles success and popularity. He was then proclaimed a hero and was given a bride who he had children with soon after. In the short tale, he was a farmer, ridding the field of the beasts that lived there. The teenage Hercules in the movie is confused and saddened by his difference and goes to a temple to talk to Zeus’s spirit who informs him that he is half god as well as mortal and that he has to earn his godhood in order to live in Olympus again. His strong ability causes him to be isolated from others.
In the film, he is raised by two peasants while in the story he is at first raised in a palace. Throughout both formats, Hercules and Heracles are distinctly distinguished from others because of their extraordinary strength. In the story the antagonist is a jealous Hera, who curses Heracles with misfortunes. This makes him have earned his “godhood”. In the film when Hercules was a baby Hades, the antagonist, made him drink a potion that turns him half mortal and half god. In both versions, Hercules and Heracles is the son of Zeus, the head god of Greek mythology, but in the short story his mother is a princess named Alcmena, and in the film his mother is Hera.
