There are as many different versions of Hercules’ life story as storytellers. The
differences vary from who Hercules’ parents were and why he had to perform the 12
labors in the Disney’s version to other versions. Zeus, Hercules’ father, was the most
powerful gods. It means that Zeus could do everything he pleased.
Zeus was not a very good husband to his wife, Hera, the queen of gods. He fell
in love with a beautiful Greek woman named Alemene. When Alemene’s husband,
Amphitryon, was away, Zeus made her pregnant. Hera was so angry that she tried to
prevent the baby from being born. When Alemene gave birth to the baby anyway, she
named him Herakles (the Romans pronounced the name “Hercules,” and so do we
today). Herakles means “glorious gift from Hera” in Greek and that got Hera angrier.
She tried to kill the baby by sending snakes to his crib. Somehow, little Hercules was
one strong baby. He strangled the snake, one in each hand, before they could bite
