| 520 | |a Heracles, hero of Greece, dedicates all his feats to Hera, goddess of family. Heracles' mother raised him to revere Hera, as her attempt to avoid the goddess' wrath. Unbeknownst to Heracles, he is yet another child Hera's husband, Zeus, had out of wedlock. Hera loathes every minute of Heracles' devotion. She finally snaps and sends the Furies to make Heracles kill himself. But the moment Heracles goes mad, his children playfully ambush him, and he slays them instead. When the madness fades, Heracles's wife, Megara, convinces him to seek revenge. Together they'll hunt the Furies and learn which god did this. Believing Hera is the only god he can still trust, Heracles prays to Hera, who is wracked with guilt over killing his children. To mislead Heracles, Hera sends him on monster-slaying quests, but he is too traumatized to enact more violence. Instead, Heracles cares for the Nemean lion, cures the illness of the Lernaean hydra, and bonds with Crete's giant bull. Hera struggles with her role in Heracles life as Heracles begins to heal psychologically by connecting with the monsters -- while also amassing an army that could lay siege to Olympos. | ||
